“The Bible has a much deeper, richer description for a widow than simply a woman whose husband has died. . . . [A widow], in the biblical context, is a woman bereft of the full provision and flourishing that could be provided by a husband or a family. It’s her condition that scripturally qualifies her as a widow, not the circumstance that led her to that condition.” — K. A. Ellis

Free eBook by Rebecca McLaughlin: ‘Jesus Through the Eyes of Women’
If the women who followed Jesus could tell you what he was like, what would they say?
Jesus’s treatment of women was revolutionary. That’s why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. Women sat at his feet and tugged at his robes. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today?
In Jesus Through the Eyes of Women, Rebecca McLaughlin explores the life-changing accounts of women who met the Lord. By entering the stories of the named and unnamed women in the Gospels, this book gives readers a unique lens to see Jesus as these women did and marvel at how he loved them in return.
