It is indeed a good book for women who are going through difficult circumstances and need encouragement to change. The book is also said to be a Bible study. But it&#8217;s not a study guide as I expected. It&#8217;s more just a book with discussion questions.<\/p>\n<p>There are 10 chapters, each based on a woman in the Bible, and the characteristic she displayed in overcoming an obstacle and choosing a better way. Each theme of the chapter is illustrated by many stories of contemporary women facing a problem, usually a problem of her past. The Bible woman is an illustration of how we can rewrite our story to live a better life.<\/p>\n<p>After each chapter, there are personal reflection questions and group discussion questions. There is also a journal prompt to have you write down the action you will take to change.<\/p>\n<p>The book is very readable with some good insights, but I wouldn&#8217;t use it as a Bible study.<\/p>\n<p>Disclosure:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thomasnelson.com\/consumer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Nelson <\/a>provided me with a complimentary copy  of this book for this review.
