Susan B. Townsend

I downloaded this years ago, when it was free for the Kindle, and read it - one section per day - through 2019. Great to have something like this on my Kindle, offering a brief 'thought' or 'devotional' each morning, based on the various women of the Bible.

Sometimes the commentary was relevant to me; more often not, but usually interesting. Occasionally I was dubious about the motivations or virtues ascribed to various Biblical women, who are barely mentioned in Scripture itself. And at times I found it too 'American' in outlook, with a few references I didn't get, and assumed characteristics which I don't have.

Still, overall it was a pleasant read; worth having if you can find or read it free or at low cost. Particularly interesting if you feel that women are under-represented in the Bible.
