Christian Standard Women's Study Bible Review For Lifeway Book Review Program


The features of this great Study Bible are Outlines for each book of the Bible.  For example, The Book of Ruth is outlined as follows I. Naomi's Challenge:Despair, Death, Depression, Verses 1-1-22  A. The Famine in Bethlehem Leaving the Land  and Friends, B. The Return to Judah Emptiness 1:6-22. II. Ruth;s Work of Gleaning 2:1-23 B. The Provision of Boaz 2:1-17 B. The Response of Ruth 2:18-23

B. Ruth's Response to Naomi's Counsel: Obedience 3:5-9

C. The Response of Others 3:10-18

IV.  The Reward for Ruth and Naomi :Redemption 4:1-22

A. Boaz As Redeemer 4:1-12

B. Ruth's Marriage to Boaz 4:13

C. The Restoration of Naomi 4:14-16

D. The Epilogue: The Legacy of Obedience 4:17-22

The second feature of this Women's  Study Bible is questions about the book of Ruth itself. For example, Who wrote Ruth?  Perhaps a scribe. Who were the recipients? Not told. What is Ruth about? The providence of God in the midst of tragedy, and the concern God has for individual women. Why women should read Ruth? The book highlights sacrificial love within human relationships between mother-in - law/daughter-in - law And between a honorable man and his virtuous women in courtship. How do you read Ruth? As a short story.

Finally, this Women's Study Bible has Character Profiles in each book. For example, Naomi, Who was she? Her background, Her story, and life lessons.

 Megan Jones  February 13th, 2023  Colleen Coble Interview  1.  Why did you want to write suspense? "I appreciate it when all the secrets of the past come back to haunt characters. I love the puzzle of a murder mystery and the trill of a heroine in danger. Annie is more than capable of becoming the ultimate overcoming heroine." 2. What inspired to want to write?
