Just a Sister Away - Renita Weems is outstanding! She weaves these wonderful stories of women in scripture known to many of us who are familiar with Bible stories. What she is so excellent at doing is helping us see these women in a richer, deeper way and managing to bring them to life for today. We can use our imaginations as we read between the lines and see these women in the context of the cultures in which they lived. And, beyond that, she helps us to imagine how women today can relate to them and brings relevance for us as we strive in relationships in our everyday lives. Reading the Bible as history is one thing; helping us see why it is important for us today, sister to sister is what makes Renita Weems important for us all. Read Renita Weems and be the richer for it!

Thought provoking - We used this book for our church women's group. The idea was to read the entire book and then meet for a review session. Ha...so far we've been meeting every two to three weeks and have only managed to cover three chapters. Weem's provides such thought provoking characters and insights that one chapter at a time is all you can process in a two hour discussion session. Each character and chapter causes you to delve ddep into your personal thoughts and experiences. If you have an earlier version, go ahead and purchase this one, which has four additional chapters to stir your thoughts.

Book Club enjoyed this Book - My book club really enjoyed this book. We had a great two-hour discussion about the stories in this book. The author touched on Bible stories that many of us had never studied before. Overall, it was a fast read and very educational.

Sister Talk - This book is a book for soul searching. You will never look at yourself or any other woman the same. This book will make you do a self assessment and take inventory on your life. Sisters in Christ should read this book together in a group setting or for a women bible study. This book is also a book that can be given as a gift and should be very much appreciated.
