INTRODUCTION

Women! We can’t live with them and we can’t live without them. They are the instigators of destruction, the epitome of transformation, the culmination of the essence of love. They are created to be the wrapping paper that brings joy to the world. How can this precious gift be so valuable to the human race? How can women be so influential in the existence of this vast universe? Women who were considered to be the weaker vessels, created to serve, have proven to be the cargo for the backbone of the world. And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21). For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6). Out of this vessel came forth good. Yet out of this same vessel, evil came forth.

Women, designed to be investigators, curious about what was, what is and what will be, sent the world into a great depression. Women who are the victims of deception are now personified to be the insulators of wisdom. The ability to choose is a gift to be treasured. Women have made choices that have overturned, recreated, revolutionized, and salvaged the critical aspects in life.

Notorious women of the Bible, from Esther, the savior of the Jews, to Jezebel, destruction personified; from Mary, the mother of Jesus to Mary Magdalene, the mortician who prepared the Saviour of the world for His burial. Notorious women, women who tear down to build up, knock down to reconstruct, destroy to recreate, bury to resurrect.

Notorious Women of the Bible is a book designed to visually take a retrospective look at women in the Bible who have had tremendous impact and made significant contributions to humanity. Although women were seen as insignificant beings in the past, their tremendous worth surfaced regardless of their recognition. Today women have boldly presented themselves as adequate leaders within our society. Women have revolutionized the male chauvinistic way of thinking and have cooperatively led the evolution of society into a more accepting culture.

Whatever is your identification, our goal is that you will find inspiration, encouragement, comfort, and hope as you take this unique journey into the lives of Notorious Women of the Bible, You will be able to recognize the qualities
