The Blessed Woman


Details from the Publisher:

Discover the True Meaning of Being Blessed

It’s not easy being a woman. The demands and expectations of us, and those we place on ourselves, can be overwhelming. While trying to navigate this thing called “life,” have you ever longed for a close friend, confidant, or mentor to walk alongside you and encourage you in Biblical womanhood? Debbie Morris did. And yet even as a young minister’s wife, she found herself without someone to fill this all-important role. So she turned to the Bible. Biblical women such as Eve, Sarah, and Miriam had always fascinated her. But now they also became her friends, sisters, and teachers. Through their stories, the Holy Spirit revealed how their lives—both joys and struggles—weren’t that much different from ours today and how they can teach women today to be a grace-filled, life-giving woman of God.

In The Blessed Woman, Debbie invites you to learn from these women as well. As she shares her own stories and the stories of discerning women in the Bible, she addresses topics such as overcoming insecurity, finding purpose, establishing priorities, letting go, and waiting. The Blessed Woman reminds us how God longs for every woman to experience His tenderness—and to know the true meaning of being blessed.


This was an amazing book.  It takes you through the women in the bible and teaches you through their own experiences.  I love the fact that there is a Bible study in the back to help make you ponder over what you have read, and to apply it in your life.  I have been looking for a study like this for some time, and I will be using this in women's ministry!

This is a great book for self study, or for a group format.  Totally enjoyable, well written and easy to follow.  Thanks!
