The Covenant Woman is published in two volumns and a Study Guide following the Bible narratives, while highlighting the activities and contributions of women. Each book stands alone; however, when both the Old and New Testaments are considered it helps readers have a fuller understanding of who God is, how Bible women faithfully served Him, and how women today can continue that legacy.

The intent of these books is not to disparage men, but rather to bring women face to face with men in parallel equality. God, Himself, initiated the reciprocal oneness of human relationship when He brought Eve to Adam and placed her in front of him. Woman came from man and henceforth mankind comes from woman. This concept, however, is more profound than human marriage. God created Adam and Eve in His own Image. God’s Image is not only male, but also female! The image of God embraces both genders! From the onset of the Scriptures to the consummation, God is leading His readers to encounter His image, embrace Him in relationship, and declare their love for Him in a marriage that is undefiled.. Therefore, God has used both males and females when calling and shaping a people to be His own. The first women laid the foundations. It was through the women that nations were formed and it was through the right women that the promise was given. Although cultural norms often put limits on women, both the Old and New Covenants highlight covenant women who were used to further God’s purpose. It is profoundly evident that the women’s stories in the Old and New Covenants play a vital role in sustaining the Jewish and Christian faiths.

To facilitate study, with each major thrust, women are grouped together in order to acclimatize the readers and students to the times and circumstances from which the Bible women functioned. The Concordance is intended as a resource to bring harmony to the scene and provide a look into how God and the writers used the female in their script. Given the wide range of options about dates, the dates recorded herein are provided for the sole purpose of chronological narrative. At the end of each chapter there is a side bar called 21st Century Perspective and another called, To Ponder, with questions to aid in making the story personal to the readers. Finally, a Study Guide is provided for group study and individual study featuring four steps: Introduction, Instruction, Internalize and Infold.

Women through the ages have a common bond. We are wives, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, granddaughters, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, aunts, nieces, and cousins. Women live in relationship. We function within our cultures. We work and play, give and take, cry and laugh, and while we are fulfilling our obligations to our fellowman and society, our highest calling remains the same: We are to love God with our whole being. The bride of Christ knows no gender. God does not allow for excuses. We belong to Him and we are invited to the marriage supper. (Revelation 19:9)It is my desire that women everywhere will accept God’s marriage proposal!

Endorsements:

The book is endorsed by Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn.

She writes: The Covenant Woman book series serves as a wonderful resource for either group or individual study. Nancy Allen provides a robust picture of biblical leadership for women, by walking us through scripture, step by step, to examine the lives of biblical ladies. Among this diverse crowd of women we discover individuals who were courageous enough to defy authority and hide the baby Moses to save his life, wise enough to teach by example, strong enough to defeat mighty armies, and bold enough to ask Jesus for healing.

By examining the lessons of biblical women–both their triumphs and grave mistakes–we may gain insight into how to live today as godly women, whether fulfilling our roles in the home, the workplace, the church or the community. I’m delighted that Nancy Allen has provided this remarkable resource for modern women. Twenty-first century women need such a study–to see how to apply timeless truths to our relationships with God, with others, and with ourselves.
