Suppose the women of the Bible could come back and be interviewed by Oprah or Dr. Phil. In these fictional interviews we will imagine their feelings, weaknesses, and personality traits that often parallel today's outstanding Christian women. Filled with humor, insights, and at times embarrassing details, these interviews are a fun and interesting way to learn more about these women. The questions at the end of each interview are thoughtful and insightful for a different type Bible study. Have fun as you dress up and take on the character of the women as they "tell all." You might be surprised what you learn about yourself. You will meet a woman whose legacy is still causing problems today and you will hurt with the homely and unloved one. You will meet the mother who regrets failing to discipline her child and the woman who tells you how to deal with a difficult husband. One mother will tell how she had the nerve to ask Jesus for a favor and you will smile at the little maid who teaches the difference in happiness and joy. You will identify with the one who cries, "It was too little, too late" and the wayward woman's meeting with the waiting Savior. Maybe you will learn what true service is as you meet the woman with a giving heart and the one with the right priorities. You will see how beautiful unconditional love can be and be reminded again that you must not let your past can't define your future. When you meet Jezebel, you will search your own heart to ensure your relationships glorify God.
