Why read it?
1 author picked Acts of the Women as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Finally, a book about the women of the New Testament! This is one of my favorite novels about Jesus and His disciples. It is beautifully written, and I had several laugh-out-loud moments. I especially loved how the vivid prose brings history to life. It never gets boring or dry.

From Kristi's list on the lives of Jesus’s disciples.
