Who was the first person recorded as praising God?Who was the first to give Him a name?Who was the first to announce the coming of God's Messiah?Who was Paul's mentor and coach?Who financed Jesus' ministry? And who anointed Him king?Scripture makes no secret of the fact the kingmakers, culture-changers, pioneers, visionaries, bridge-builders, navigators, watchers, sentinels, cupbearers, mentors, coaches and God-namers were so often women.The virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31 is also a woman of valour. This sequel to the best-selling MORE PRECIOUS THAN PEARLS continues to highlight the underrated role of women in Scripture.

Did you know the women of Israel refused to participate in building the golden calf? Or that they were the first to sacrifice their jewellery for the building of the tabernacle?More Precious than Pearls looks at nuances in the Hebrew text not normally found in English translations. Be surprised by God's joy and His rewards for women--because they so often were steadfast and faithful when the men wavered.Two versions of this book are available: one with simple study prompts for small groups and one without this study guide.
