Ordinary Women, Extraordinary God
In book two of Don Wilkerson's series The Impact of Ordinary People, the names listed in each chapter are not well-known women of the Bible. But that's the theme of this unique devotional.
Adah, Bilhah, Jehosheba, and Huldah are just some of the ordinary women who accomplished extraordinary things for the glory of God. Scripture contains a supporting cast of men and women often overlooked in Bible study. This devotional brings thirty lesser-known women to life with short but thought-provoking lessons. Each woman deserves attention for her significant impact, but it's God's redemption story that is highlighted and woven through the lives of these ordinary women.
For those seeking discipleship material for personal growth, this book will aid individual and small group Bible study.
This devotional is also a helpful resource for pastors and Christian leaders to develop biblical lessons or one-of a-kind sermons.
"The Impact of Ordinary People details the lives of obscure Bible characters with a significant impact on biblical history. These inspiring stories of women-- viewed from a modern twist--will encourage you to keep reading. Don't miss it!"

"'Some of our women amazed us, ' exclaimed a Jesus follower to a stranger on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:22, NIV). This was spoken before his spiritual eyes were opened to see the Lord. Don Wilkerson has opened our eyes to see and hear amazing voices of lesser-known women of the Bible. Many of them you will meet for the first time, learning the ways of God and how He has been speaking through women since the beginning of time. Read, learn, and enjoy this book."

"I was fascinated as I read through the stories of these lesser-known women in the Bible. Rizpah, Huldah, and Vashti are my favorite enlightening examples. As I devoured this encouraging devotional, I saw the intentional hand of God woven throughout history by His precious daughters being used for His glory. I was especially delighted to see Jael featured in this book! Our daughter's middle name is Jael, as we love the story of Jael's great courage. If you are a treasure seeker, then you'll want to discover the other hidden gems of women like Jael in the Bible. But don't take the word of this ordinary woman; read it for yourself and be built up in your
faith today."
