Believers: Lessons from Women of Powerful Faith explores the
lives of Hannah, Ruth, Mary, and nine other women from the Bible who
believed God, no matter what. Each of these women held on to God, and He
took them each down a unique path—just as He is doing for you.
Through
Gien Karssen’s vivid storytelling and deep insights, the lives of these
biblical women will instruct and inspire you to embrace a more vibrant
faith in your own life, no matter what. The stories you read will remind
you of people you know, and maybe even of yourself.
Each book in
the Her Name Is Woman series brings alive women of the Bible. As you
grapple with God’s role in each woman’s life, you will be motivated to
live your own life wholeheartedly for God. Each chapter includes
relevant Scripture passages and Bible study questions that have made the
Her Name Is Woman series a favorite guide for Bible studies and small
groups.

Endorsements:
"Gien Karssen is a storyteller. Although there are many studies about the women in the Bible, I have never read one more practical than Her Name Is Woman. Glen makes these biblical women really come alive as you observe their actions and the effects of their lives. She helps you draw out applications that are relevant today. Gien is one of the best trainers I know for young Bible study leaders. She brings the Word of God to bear upon situations in day-to-day living. My prayer is that this book will work as a seed that brings forth much fruit." CORRIE TEN BOOM, Author of The Hiding Place
"All my life I have read about the women of the Bible, learning much from them even tough they were somewhat vague, historic characters. In this book, these same characters have suddenly come alive. Because of Gien's careful research, sanctified imagination, and skill as a writer, I found myself understanding these women and their situations in a new way. Knowing more about the customs of their day helps us understand better why they acted as they did. It is interesting to note that God's women, down through the centuries, have enjoyed a freedom the world finds difficult to understand -- the freedom to be and to do that which God intended. You will find this book both interesting and enlightening." RUTH BELL GRAHAM, Author of Footprints of a Pilgrim
