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."

"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 some 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."
