This has to be the most practical Bible study ever written. When I first became a Christian I felt that there weren't many women to identify with in the Bible. There are, in reality, so many! Their lessons are as timely now as they were in Biblical days. I feel as if I understand more how God wants me to live my life, and how I can glorify Him as only a woman can!

A tremendous book for women of all ages. A practical devotional book, as well as a great reference tool. This book is filled with analysis of the minute details given in the Bible on the women covered in this book. Well known as well as the little known women are reviewed. Practical is the word that comes to mind. Men and women can learn from this book. The author has tremendous insight and wisdom and shares them on the daily level.

I can remember toddling around my library as a very little girl and finding "The Lonely Doll" at the bottom of the stacks, with it's beautiful pink and white gingham cover. Of course pink was my favourite colour and I loved dolls so I had to learn how to read it. Even though I can't remember accurately, I think this is one of the very first books I read myself. It's such a beautiful book and the pictures... I would kill to own an Edith!

When I was a young girl, I had all of the Lonely Doll books. I re-read them often as I grew into adolescence. They taught me lessons in a non-threatening, memorable way - I paid attention!! As the mother of twin three year olds, I want to share them with my children. They are simply written and beautifully illustrated with wonderful black and white photographs taken by the author. Fortunately, after trying to find new copies, I mentioned to mother my frustration in not being successful in my search. She smiled and then later sent me the books I had so enjoyed as a young girl. I truly recommend this book, and the others should they be reprinted.

As a child I found these books mysterious and enjoyable. Now I love to share them with my children. I was so excited when another book in the series was re-printed last year "Edith and Mr. Bear". I am informed that another will be re-printed in the fall of 2001, "a Gift From the Lonely Doll," it's a nice Christmas story. I hope to see them all back in print.
