Women at the Well: A Five-Week Study of Women in the Bible

Description

Why do bad things happen to good people? If God loves me, why do I have to wait so long for Him to answer my prayers? Have you ever asked these questions? Women at the Well helps us to find answers to these and other questions as we study the lives of women in the Bible-women like the widow who is about to lose her sons because of her husband’s debt or the childless Hannah or Mary of Bethany, who only wants to spend time at the Lord’s feet and trusts Jesus to heal her beloved brother, Lazarus. Then there is beautiful Abigail who is married to a churlish brute of a man and Deborah, the only female judge in the history of Israel, who finds herself on a mountaintop with Barak, facing an enemy who outnumbers them ten to one. Join author Janet Jagers as she shares these women’s stories. They are stories that will encourage us as women to face our own trials with courage and faith, trials that are meant to draw us closer to our loving Lord, trials that teach us to trust God like He is worthy to be trusted! Janet Jagers has taught the Bible for forty years in women’s Bible classes, Child Evangelism Fellowship, and Awana. She is currently studying to become a biblical counselor through Light University. She is a survivor of breast cancer, Lyme disease, and lupus and writes to encourage other women as they go through similar trials. She and her husband of forty-eight years, Donald, have three children and eight grandchildren and currently reside in South Carolina.
