“Miles beyond other similar resources, Praying with Women of the Bible is a treasure and a revelation.  Suitable for both individual and group use, this book is a substantive guide with a clear call to discipleship."

"Exceptional! Elena Bosetti gives us not just good, sound teaching, but above all, a unique, distinctive, prayerful dialogue with exemplary women of the Old and New Testament..."

— María de Lourdes Ruiz Scaperlanda, Author, The Seeker's Guide to Mary

"In this valuable work Dr. Bosetti lays the scriptural groundwork for a challenging task facing the Church.  Using keen scriptural scholarship deftly transposed into pastoral prayer, she opens to us the significance of the women in scripture.  She helps us begin the task of clarifying the distinct role of the feminine, in its own right, in salvation."
