This last book in the series of study notes and insights on women in the Bible is about the most important woman in your life: you. While writing these books, it came to me that all of the biblical women that I wrote about had life lessons to share with me and for me. It dawned on me that the Bible is about me. Inspired by the thought, I re-read the first chapter of the Bible, Genesis 1. Of course the Bible is about you and about me, for God created us in His image. It is there that I found what I had not really captured before. It is the core of the Bible and of this series, so the persona of the last book was now chosen. As the Bible is about God, it is also all about us. He provided the best life guide and self-help source one could ever find, anywhere and during any age. The powerful summit of this series of study notes and insights on women in the Bible is about all of the previous women, yet it is about the only one who really creates your world: you. Read, and receive the greatest gift God has given to us. A female reader: "These books are really good, you know-really. I have read them all, and I am going to give them as presents to my friends." A male reader: "I found insights I had not found myself that now I understand. And I have read the Bible many times! It is practical that the biblical text is included, as it makes it a 'specific biblical portion' that makes it easy for the reader." A female reader: "I am reading it again. It is so filled with wisdom that I have to re-read it. I love it. I'll never think about these women in the same way. I never knew all of this about them. And the life lessons based on their lives are working for me now. Imagine that!"

Do you recognize this woman? Biblical Esther: she had nothing of her own but herself. Her cousin advised her, yet she was on her own when it came to life choices for herself and for others. Reasoning through the scriptures on her sheds true light on a strong character who was hidden and is now revealed, as she steps into the Light. Sincerely, Esther presents hidden messages and shares the scripture behind the scripture: symbols and lessons revealed through studying and understanding, with powerful insights to enlighten your spirit, to encourage you, to take your next step in trust. This book sheds light on Esther according to the facts in scripture and the symbolism in scripture, so you and I can grow through her. Added are imaginary tales about Esther as a young woman in her day, and an Esther as a strong woman with a new take on life, as she is connected to our day. She brings us to a higher level of consciousness, as she prevented a holocaust in her day. Esther's hidden treasures are revealed and made comprehendible. Get to know this author's genuine understanding of scripture and experience the truth for yourself. It is straightforward-you can see it for yourself. Reactions to previous books in this series: "I never saw it before; I never saw what you described, yet I checked it, and it is in there-it is true." "The truth is always simple."

Bathsheba was familiar with the court. Her family served the king. That same king saw her and used all means to have her. It is clear that she knew her way around these royal politics, and she made sure that her son became the next king. It was politics avant la lettre, as described back then in the Bible. From raising children, to being professional, to keeping your word and being around the right people—it is all about relationships and the agreements that are made. They only hold as well as the norms that you keep. Did she keep them?Observe Bathsheba as she is studied through factual eyes, with the purpose of learning for actual life. The Scripture is so detailed that this book uncovers new and unique hands-on insights and life lessons. Her royal life lessons resemble each of ours, maybe more than we realize, as we face the question of “how to?”The character of Bathsheba is further brought to life in an imaginary tale from “back then,” before her lesson is learned; next, she is presented as a contemporary, familiar young woman who faces her relations, her choices, her word, and her responsibilities head-on, in a final tale, with God’s common sense to face very real life issues. It is a book for mother and daughter.Bathsheba is a biblical, intense woman, whose life shows us the most important relationship in life—the one that matters. As her husband David puts it: “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him” (Psalm 103:13 KJV).Reader’s comment on the books in this series:“The Bible just got modern!” 

The first book in this series was on the biblical woman Rahab; it shared street wisdom. The next book, on Leah and Rachel, disclosed that leaving wrong ways behind you is necessary in order to clean up your life. Then Eve’s persona was explained: she did it all first. Now Ruth will be studied. You and I will get to learn lessons from her, ready-made for today’s life.Ruth could be any woman. She simply cares and wants a good life. She honors her name, in “T-Ruth.” She aims to do right and to listen to those who know and care for her. She focuses only on that and nothing else, gaining wisdom “kernel by kernel.”Ruth is not interested in the latest gossip or in the most popular guy around. She accepts the life she has and makes it the best it can be. And as she does the right thing, her life goes right as a result. Scripture proves it.The study for this book shows how simple it really is to have a good life. It is all in here: Scripture, spiritual insights, wisdom, and biblical facts, explained in a way that is off the beaten path. A fictional tale of Ruth’s life back then and a fictional tale of a modern Rute╠ü with these lessons applied really complete this book. See if you recognize her: Ruth, a friend in T-Ruth.Reaction on Leah and Rachel, Becoming Matriarchs: Another one! Hallelujah!-a friend-
