Though I'm not a big fan of Martin's adult fiction, I very much enjoy the "tongue in cheek" humor found in her non-fiction, such as this book. She has a real way with words and puts a new spin on all the old Bible stories we have all been taught since nursery class in Sunday School. Some of the sentences have to be re-read to be fully comprehended and appreciated for their wit. This book would be enjoyable even to those who may have no Biblical background, because she sticks to the basic facts and helps us all to relate to the figures in the stories. If someone is looking to be spiritually encouraged, any chapter in this book would be a good read.
Encouraging and humorous. I loved it.

I found this book encouraging & humorous. It gives you a different view of women in the Bible. They weren't perfect, they were human, and they struggled just like we do today, but we can learn from how they handled situations. LaJoyce Martin has a refreshing positive attitude that sets an example for all Christian women.
