Jesus invites you to open up the pages of this devotional to discover God's love, compassion, comfort, and provision for this season of grief in your life. He is in every one of these twelve widow stories written in the Word of God. The stories are true, and these women existed so you can hear their widow story speak to your heart to help heal and restore your loss as you turn to Jesus Christ, our Savior. God desires to meet with you personally on every page. He longs for you to turn to Him and hear His personal message of comfort for you in each passage. He draws near to you and hears your cry and will bring you up out of your sorrow. He will place your feet upon the rock of Jesus Christ, His Son, and help you take each step of faith. He will put a new song in your mouth so others will come to trust in the Lord because of your widow story. May the words of Psalm 40:1-3 speak to your heart and draw you to Him. And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear, and will trust in the Lord.

In The Widow’s Song, Donna Lloyd takes you on a personal journey through the loss of a loved one. As a widow herself, she speaks of the difficult and lonely path that many women find themselves walking when their life suddenly reduces to ‘one.’ Taking six widows from the bible, the book looks at their experiences and discusses what, as widows today, we can learn from them, offering hope and encouragement to anyone facing this most difficult situation. It is a reflective look at widowhood in a time when you are at your lowest and most vulnerable, but it strives to highlight the strength that women have to go on and face the future. The Widow’s Song is a unique and very personal rendition of a love lost and a life continuing. A song well received by the Lord and never forgotten. A song which, in time, will build the foundation of your new life.

For too long the women of the Bible have been depicted in one-dimensional terms. On one side are saints, such as Mary, while on the other are "bad girls," such as Eve and Jezebel. Just as often, the female characters of the Bible are simply ignored. However, the women of the Bible are complex, multidimensional individuals whose lives are inspiring, funny, and tragic in ways too many of us never hear. In this first of two volumes, Lynn Japinga acquaints us with the women of the Old Testament. From flawed heroes like Ruth and Rahab to fierce fighters like Deborah and Jael to tragic characters like Jephthah's daughter and the unnamed concubine of the book of Judges, readers will encounter a wealth of foremothers in the faith in all their messy, yet redeemable, humanity. This Bible study introduces and retells every female character who contributes to one or more Old Testament stories, diving deeply into what each woman's story means for us today with questions for reflection and discussion.
