I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell and NetGalley and was not required to write a positive review.

This fascinating book will truly be a inspiration to every woman who reads it. These discussion questions can be used individually to further the reader’s own spiritual growth or can be used in a group setting as a book club discussion. The chapters conclude with statements to ponder and thought-provoking questions for self-reflection. She also connects each of the stories to current events and real-life stories of her own that readers can relate to. Jill Eileen Smith’s detailed descriptions included in the “Imagine with me” sections allow the readers empathize with each of the women from the Old Testament and get a better understanding of what the women experienced. Each chapter begins with a section titled, “If I were…” and tells the story from the Bible from each of the twelve women’s point of view. The women from the Old Testament included in this book are Eve, Adah (Noah’s Wife), Sarai, Hagar, Melah (Lot’s Wife), Rebekah, Rachel, Leah, Dinah, Aneksi (Potiphar’s Wife), Tamar, and Zipporah. This book encourages readers to use the lessons from the women of the Old Testament to reflect on their own lives and to always trust in God.

Jill Eileen Smith uses her extensive biblical research and the stories from the Bible to allow her readers to relate the situations that twelve women from Old Testament faced with struggles that women today encounter in society. as well as the nonfiction book When Life Doesnt Match Your Dreams. When Life Doesn’t Match Your Dreams by award winning biblical fiction author Jill Eileen Smith is an inspirational non-fiction book perfect for women of all ages. But for all his wisdom, did he or the women in his life ever find what they searched.
