You know the women of the Bible, but you don’t know them like this... It’s easy
for Christian women—young and old—to get lost between the opportunities and
demands of the present and the biblical teachings of the past. They live in a
confusing world, caught in the crossfire between church and culture. Although
home and family still remain central, more women than ever, by choice or by
necessity, are blending home, career, and ministry. They need strong biblical
role models to help them meet these challenges. Building on solid scholarship
and a determination to wrestle honestly with perplexing questions, author
Carolyn Custis James sheds new light on ancient stories that brings the women of
the Bible into the twenty-first century. This fresh look at the women in the
Bible unearths surprising new insights and a powerful message that will leave
readers feeling challenged, encouraged, and deeply valued. Rediscover and be
inspired by: • Eve • Sarah • Hagar • Tamar • Hannah • Esther • Mary • and others

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
James (When Life and Beliefs Collide) was compelled to this search of "lost"
biblical women because she has felt lost at times—when marriage and family were
delayed for her, or when trying to minister within a church culture which often
constrains women's ministry. She begins by studying the "helpmeet" role that Eve
was assigned and discovers that the Hebrew word ezer has stronger connotations
than usually allowed, meaning strong helper and even warrior. James unearths the
stories of eight additional women, including Sarah and her abused handmaid
Hagar, the deceitful—or righteous?—Tamar, infertile Hannah, beautiful Esther,
Jesus' mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. Each story reveals the critical, powerful
roles these women played in the biblical narrative, confirming every woman's
calling to be an ezer. James concludes with a chapter on Paul and his close
relationship with the women leaders in the church at Philippi, but avoids Paul's
harsher statements about women. And while she details the equality of women as
image-bearers of God and laborers for the gospel, James stops short of
addressing what these truths mean for women in today's church. However, many
Christian women struggling to discover their place will find this a compelling
and refreshing read. (Sept.)

REVIEW
Lost Women of the Bible easily (easily!) makes my "most-provocative" book list
for this year. -- Gordon MacDonald, Editor at Large for Leadership Journal, and
Chairman of World Relief
Carolyn James's title cunningly combines three thoughts: here are stories of
women who spiritually were lost till the grace of God found them; here are Bible
people from whom we can learn much, but of whom we have largely lost sight; and
here is displayed divine wisdom, with which many of us have lost touch. At all
three levels the book delivers handsomely, and I hope it will be widely read. --
J. I. Packer, Board of Governors and Professor of Theology, Regent College

FROM THE PUBLISHER
The women of the Bible have a strong, relevant message for women today that has
been lost underneath layers of traditional interpretations and the expectation
that God does his most important work through men. Crucial dimensions of their
lives have been muted, forgotten, or passed over. Their strong voices are silent
at a time when women are searching for answers that will hold up under the
pressures and challenges confronting them today. This book brings the women of
the Bible into the twenty-first century by recovering their powerful message for
contemporary women.

differently than we expect, when we believe we've missed our true calling as
women or that our contributions aren't important, it's easy to get lost. The
questions that trouble us when we're lost in our own lives take us deeper in our
relationship with God. FOR DISCUSSION, READ: Psalm 13 1. Describe a situation
where you felt lost in your own life or in your relationship with God. 2. What
questions did your struggle raise about yourself? 3. What questions did your
struggle raise about God? 4. According to Psalm 13, why did King David feel lost
in his relationship with God? 5. How do your questions compare with the
questions he was asking? 6. Why are we sometimes reluctant to ask these kinds of
questions? Why are they important tools to help us grow in our relationship with
God? 7. What did David expect to discover as he asked his questions of God? 8.
Why are the women in the Bible a logical place for us to begin searching for
answers? A Forgotten Legacy --- Eve She lost the woman God created her to be.
The last time I saw my grandmother, she was a thin shadow of her former self. My
daughter was only a few months old, and more than anything I wanted my
grandmother to see and hold her great-granddaughter before time ran out on us. I
got my wish one afternoon during a visit to the Northwest when my mother drove
us to the nursing home. I didn't allow myself to dwell on the fact that neither
my grandmother nor Allison would remember this historic meeting that meant so
much to me, but the moment I saw my grandmother's blank gaze and sagging form,
there was no denying it. The fun-loving, intelligent, energetic woman I had
known and admired all my life was nowhere to be seen. In her place a feeble,
worn-out body slouched in a wheelchair along side several other wheelchair-bound
individuals in varying stages of decline. It broke my heart to see her so
altered. Yet even in her frail and failing condition, the presence of a baby
energized her and brought a glimmer (just the slightest) of the woman I voice as
she extended her trembling hands. 'Bring him here. We'll take care of
him.'remembered. 'It's a baby! It's a baby!' she cried in a weak raspy Anyone
who tried to reconstruct my grandmother from the shell that was left at the
last, or who searched for clues to the legacy she passed down to her daughters
and granddaughters in this final version of her, would be setting themselves up
for failure. The penetrating blue eyes that caused my grandfather's knees to
buckle, that devoured countless books including all the classics and just about
everything C. S. Lewis ever wrote, that read to her children and made loving
books a family tradition were now clouded over by macular degeneration. There
was no trace of the beloved teacher of God's Word, who nurtured and influenced
so many young women in the faith, not the least of whom were her own two
daughters. Her well-worn Bible lay undisturbed on the table beside her bed. The
vibrant woman I remembered --- the woman God created her to be --- was lost
somewhere in a fallen, aging body that was no longer hospitable to her marvelous
spirit. The last time anyone saw Eve, she was only a shell of her for mer self
too, a broken-down version of the woman God created her to be. The original Eve
was lost in Paradise. Sadly, instead of remembering her in those earlier glory
days, the world's memory of her was frozen in time at the worst possible moment
--- back in the Garden of Eden just as she swallowed a piece of forbidden fruit
and served some to her husband. John Milton, the great English poet, couldn't
get that image of Eve out of his mind. Her rash hand in evil hour Forth reaching
to the fruit, she pluck'd, she eat: Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her
seat Sighing through all her works gave signs of woe That all was lost. --- JOHN
MILTON, PARADISE LOST A bite of fruit, and everyone forgot God's stunning
sixth-day assessment: 'It is not good for the man to be alone' (Genesis 2:18).
We forgot the woman he created as the perfect remedy for man's lack. From the
vantage point of hindsight, perhaps the man would have been better off without
her, considering the damage she had done. Even Adam seemed to think so when he
blamed her for his actions. 'The woman you put here with me --- she gave me some
fruit from the tree, and I ate it' (Genesis 3:12). Eve's role as instigator in
the debacle blotted out the wonder and significance of her creation out of
Adam's side, along with Adam's rapturous delight in her. Rarely does anyone
recall her as the sole inspiration of the world's first poetry. Even if she
lived the rest of her life like Mother Teresa, the world can never forgive what
she did to us in Eden. There's no talk of amnesty for the first human being to
break rank and rebel against God. No chance we will forget the 'rash hand' that
reached for the fruit. A few swift movements and it was over. Eve got lost in
Paradise --- as lost as any woman has ever been. What she was in earlier times
is only a dim and distant memory. THE TROUBLE WITH EVE We wouldn't dream of
doing to my grandmother what we per sist in doing to Eve. We forget what Eve was
like in her prime and try to reconstruct her legacy from the broken remnants
that remained of her at the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars A super book
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2006
Verified Purchase
This little gem of a book has such clarity and liveliness that I would not
hesitate to put it into the hands of a teen; at the same time, it contains such
significant theological insights that it also belongs in the hands of clergy and
those in professional ministry. And women of all ages who are thirsting for
strong biblical role models will indeed find the "strength and significance"
James promises in her sub-title.
The framework James uses to illuminate the stories of biblical women is set out
in the book's first chapter on Eve. Because the full story of Eve has gotten so
lost in the glare of her fall, tragically, it has been the partial story of the
post-fall Eve that has set the church's agenda for women. James sets out to
correct this, showing the exceedingly high expectations that constitute God's
original "blueprint." What are these expectations? First, the woman is God's
image bearer, God's vice regent. Second, the woman is the warrior/helper (ezer).
Third, the woman is a full member of what James calls the "Blessed Alliance,"
the partnership of the man and woman as they together implement the cultural
mandate.
The rest of the book shows the surprising truths that emerge from the stories of
biblical women when viewed in light of these three big claims from creation. How
did they live up to their identity as image bearers? What vital task did God
entrust into the hands of these ezers? And, finally, did their relationships
with the men in their lives (not just husbands and sons, but any key men in
their stories) reflect the kind of partnership envisioned in Genesis 1:28 when
"God blessed them"? The final chapter of the book-a study of the small church at
Philippi, established because of the faith of a small group of God-fearing
Gentile women-shows how God called his ezers into a Blessed Alliance with the
Apostle Paul for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Even the unmarried Paul
discovered that it was "not good for the man to be alone."
One of the strengths of this book is James' conviction that God truly meant what
he said in Genesis 2 when He declared that, indeed, "it is not good for the man
to be alone." By focusing not only on key women's individual stories, but also
on how they are embedded in relationships with husbands, fathers, sons, cousins
and co-laborers, James helps us to glimpse the fruitfulness that results when
the "Blessed Alliance" between men and women is functioning as it was designed.
Lost Women of the Bible gives rich food for reflection on how that Blessed
Alliance might be restored in home, church and society today.

I loved this well-researched, thought-provoking and encouraging book. Such a joy
to dig into the stories about women of the Bible, usually from a different angle
or a different way from how we heard about them as kids in Sunday School. Real.
Vulnerable. Faithful. Courageous. Immeasurably valuable to God, seen by God and
vital for his purposes of preparing the world for Jesus and spreading the truth
of the good news of his grace. I’ve recommended this book to my church and we
are hopefully going to study it in our women’s’ group! Thank you, Caroline

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost Women of the Bible: Review
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2005
Verified Purchase
(by Carolyn Custis James; Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2005; 240 pages)
To what extent are the ideas of women's roles steeped in the humanly conceived
traditions of the Christian subculture? This is the essential question being
considered in Carolyn Custis James' (CCJ) latest work, Lost Women of the Bible.
In ten chapters, CCJ examines the life roles of women in the Bible, beginning
with Eve and concluding with the Women of Philippi. CCJ encourages the reader to
reflect on how women's roles today may be defined by the traditions of the
current Christian subculture and not by scriptural mandate as she shows was
often the case for the women of Scripture.
I especially admire CCJ's treatment of the biblical narratives of Sarah and
Hagar. This accounting is helpful in establishing that, not only was the culture
of that time partly responsible for Sarah's sense of urgency to give Abraham a
son, but that succumbing to the pressure to fulfill that role was to the
detriment of the human dignity of other persons - namely, Hagar and her son.
Instead of drawing her identity and purpose from God, Sarah fell into the same
trap that catches the rest of us. She listened to the voices of her culture, her
circumstances, and the people around her who were telling her who she was, what
would make her life fulfilling, and how she could contribute (p.80).
The story of Hannah is yet another biblical story that does anything but
resonate with contemporary concepts of womanhood. Imagine spending years going
through infertility treatment, wanting to desperately to have a child to love
and adore, finally conceiving only to give that child to another couple to adopt
as a pure act of service. This isn't exactly what happened to Hannah, but its
close. CCJ notes that what was on Hannah's heart and mind was not merely the
need to fulfill her own desire to be a mother, but rather to serve God by giving
back to God what was given to her-her son, Samuel. Of course, it's true that all
things belong to God, including our children, and that there is a distinct
principle that we can draw from Hannah's life about how what we believe about
God correlates directly with how we live our lives. From the time she conceives
through the period in which she gives up her son, we see a woman who seeks God
and unremittingly worships him.
Lost Women of the Bible clearly articulates the nature of the cultural mandate -
that from the beginning both men and women were both created in the image of God
to "rule and subdue together" (p. 159). For women who are lost in the Church,
perhaps not fulfilling the expected role of wife and mother because they are
single and career-oriented or even pursuing education, this is a breath of fresh
air. The examples of Tamar and Esther make perfectly clear that the call to
action from God is sometimes without a male counterpart taking the lead, but
ultimately dependent upon her obedience to step out in faith. This is a
must-read for all of us who hear the call, for such a time is this...

4.0 out of 5 stars I've made you in my image to do great things. " It's great
book to learn together ...
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
The book is filled with inspiring stories of women we thought we knew. God works
through us in so many different ways. The stories are stories of strength,
humility, wisdom, obedience and many more... applicable in our lives today, very
much so. Many women are trying to hard to justify their existence and their
success - the so called feminist. But God says, "I see you. You are valuable to
me. I've made you in my image to do great things."
It's great book to learn together in care groups or even in a mass setting. More
women need to know about these lost women.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit too feminist for my liking
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2008
Verified Purchase
Although this book has some interesting insight into these biblical womens
lives, I found some of her views particularly in the last chapter a tad
pro-feminist for my liking. And that takes some doing :-) I thought her anaysis
of Sarah very helpful and will pass the book onto friends who I think could
benefit from reading this particular chapter. The authors own experience with
motherhood makes this book emotive, especially Hannahs story which (as a mother
myself)really made me think about how she was able to give up the longed for
Samuel. I personally wouldnt take everything in this book as gospel, rather
consider it a useful resource to pick parts out when doing a study maybe.
