This volume looks into the lives of the New Testament women who made phenomenal contributions to the plan and work of God. Nearly 200 pages are dedicated just to the story of Mary - from her lineage in the house of David to her miraculous role as the mother of our Lord. Even so, Mary's humble response to God's favor was, "Behold, the handmaiden of the Lord." In this book, Brother Swaggart also explores the tremendous faith of these women: Mary Magdalene, who announced the resurrection of Jesus Christ; Mary and Martha, who watched Him raise their brother Lazarus from the dead; Phebe and the elect lady, and Lydia, who hosted the first church in her home. Two chapters also address the roles of women in the and in the church.
