A Notable Woman (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781969422409)

In the bible, in the book of 2 Kings 4:8 and continuing on in chapter 8:1, there is a story about a very special woman, a "notable woman" who fascinated me to the point that I felt driven to tell her story. Her story, for me, was more intriguing than any of the other famous characters in the old testament. While in the Air Force, and on temporary duty in the Middle East, I became somewhat familiar with the culture there so when I read about her actions and attitude she became even more of an enigma to me. One of the things that I found intriguing was the fact that she was not Jewish, not a noble, not a war hero, and not the ancestor of any other significant person in the Bible. Ne, she was simply a hero in her own right. She never showed any sign that she had any weakness at all other than the one time when she cried out, "No, my lord, do not lie to your maidservant!" (NKJV), revealing that she had some deep hurt that she alone carried. She was simply a very special person who, along with the actions of a prophet of God, was brought into the pages of history. The more times I read her story the more I was able to see between the lines and perceive the panorama of her life and trials. She had an indominable personality as well as being wise. She was bold and, accounting for the times and culture, audacious.
