The Women Who Met Jesus: New Testament Stories of Lives Transformed by the Savior by Dorothy Valcarcel, (Book Review)



About the book:

Just like us, the women of New Testament times were ambitious, worried, broken, lonely, insecure, and unfulfilled. Discover the powerful stories of their encounters with the perfect, unconditional love of the Savior. Rather than trivializing their problems or ignoring women, Jesus responded to their deepest needs with compassion, reminding them of their value and transforming their past, present, and future. Let this engaging book introduce you to the man who loves women like no other.


My thoughts: 4/5 stars

I did not finish this book, through no fault of its own. I just take forever to read nonfiction books and I did not have forever to write a review. 
My rating is for what I did read. 

 Author Dorothy Valcarcel has no idea what she's done to my heart. 

I was deeply touched. Her pen dug deeply into my heart and brought to light past hurts I'd been hiding. 

Valcarcel made me realize in order to move on, I must first face those hurts and give them to God. 

Valcarcel is a deep well of wisdom and I believe that everyone could learn something from her. 

She touched on a few things from her past that I believe a lot of women can relate to.

While explaining her past hurts Valcarcel teaches us how we can give our hurts to Christ. How we can forgive and move forward.

She likens the struggles we go through today with the struggles women in the Bible went through  

She shows how each of these women met Jesus and were changed for the better. 

Some of these women met Jesus physically, and though we cannot physically meet Him yet, our lives will still change when we meet Him spiritually. 


I definitely recommend grabbing  The Women Who Met Jesus!
I hope you'll be as blessed by it as I was.
