Amazing New Testament Women What is the significance of the women mentioned in the New Testament? Many of the stories we read in the Bible, we read about the women that God used to do the work he needed done.

Here, for the first time, I have decided to present one of the latter series in written form for public consumption. This book of lessons is not intended to be a scholarly commentary on the text of First ...
