Being Phoebe: How Women Served in Early Christianity: Start2Finish Bible Studies

By Steven C. Hunter

Told too often about what they can't do, many Christian women wonder what they can do. In both the Old and New Testaments, Scripture notes the many marvelous works performed by women in service and praise to God without going beyond the biblical restrictions placed upon them.
In BEING PHOEBE, Steven Hunter offers an encouraging word to all sisters in Christ. In this 13-lesson study, he embarks on a biblical and church-historical exploration of the ways women served in Christianity's earliest centuries. In the process, Hunter underscores the manifold ways women have brought glory to their King.
