Download or read book Women in the Bible written by John Baldock and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few women in the Bible that are treated with as much reverence as their more famous male counterparts. This dismal state of affairs mirrors the position of women generally in Western society over the last two thousand years. And yet closer study of the Bible reveals that women were once regarded as equals of men rather than subject to them. John Baldock is at pains to rescue the reputation of women in the Bible, exploring the ancient priestesses, prophets and heroines who used their courage and spiritual strength to lead the people. Working chronologically through the Old and New Testaments, Woman in the Bible includes fascinating stories of true love, incest, adultery, polygamy, exploitation and abuse by men. This accessible and well-argued book is essential reading for anyone interested in the role of women in religion and society.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Noble and Heroic Deeds of Men and Women, Vol. 10 We can best learn to hate cowardice and n groveling spirit by studying their opposites. Bravery and nobility of character have been honored and respected as long as man has existed; They are the cardinal virtues of true manhood or womanhood, and always com mand respect. It is a sacred duty of every person to make his life as grand and noble as possible; and there can be no better, no surer'manner of bringing this about than by instilling into the minds of the youth such examples as are grand and noble. To build a fine, abiding and beautiful architectural structure, in which proportion and grace are blended, the first thing that is done is to build well a good sub-structure, a foundation on which torest. Just so in forming a beautiful character. The first thing necessary is to have a pure mind; before which, as an entrancing mirror, are reflected the images and casts of noble deeds, heroic actions, and 'that nobility of character which is'universally respected. The province of this volume is then seen. We are not pretentious enough to claim originality in the major ity of the facts and incidents 'found in these pages. We have only aimed at an acceptable compilation, such as is found in no other work, and which the author and publishers believe will meet a demand long felt. We have had recourse to a large number of standard and antiquated works, from which we have drawn liberally. Many of the stories have been en tirely rewritten and modernized. If it shall be the means of inspiring any youth to better and renewed exertions, or to spur any one to better efforts, the aim of the compilers will have been amply met. To do good has been the motive in presenting this to' the public, and should it fail in this it will fail utterly. The actions and deeds herein recorded are worthy of study and imitation by all. An ambition to be noble is laudable. By a knowledge of the lives of the great, we can regulate our own course and steer star-guided over life's trackless ocean.
