Harper Collins’ New NKJV American Woman’s Bible Connects Scripture, Great Women of Faith throughout ! American History! ! ! WHAT IS THE AMERICAN WOMAN’S BIBLE? ! ! The American Woman’s Bible intersperses the scriptures with biographies of virtuous women throughout American ! history and the biblical values that best represented and guided their lives. A powerful companion for daily living for ! women of all ages. ! ! WHY IS IT RELEVANT, NEEDED?! ! • From our nation’s beginnings through current day, this Bible – in exploring 250 courageous and heroic American women ! – will encourage women to make an impact for God and forge a legacy of their own. ! • Young women today are in desperate need of leadership and role models as culture crumbles, falsely portraying what ! defines success, leadership, roles of women. ! • To fill in the significant gaps left by public education re: faith of early Americans (particularly women), reinforce that the ! tenets of Judeo-Christian principles are a vital part of what made America great ! • To help counteract a prevailing secularist movement in America … a movement to separate America from its foundation ! of faith. This Bible keeps readers tethered to the concept of America as a nation founded on strong Christian values. ! !! WHO IS IT FOR? ! ! BOOK DETAILS! • American women of all ages !

CONVERSATION STARTERS / INTERVIEW QUESTIONS: ! ! ! • Why the need for a Bible that highlights the lives of women throughout American history? ! • Are there particular women today that come to mind who embody these virtues … who may someday be included ! in a volume like this? ! • The times and the culture are so incredibly different, when viewing most of the women in these pages … but, there ! are also striking similarities, aren’t there, regarding the struggles they faced and those we face today? ! ! ! ! • What are some of the virtues/qualities most glaringly absent from today’s female leaders and role models? And which ! historical figure highlighted in the AWB would you point to as an example of that? ! • Isn’t the onus on parents to teach their own children today, if they want them to learn about the role of faith in the ! founding of our nation? Isn’t public education moving away from the association between America and Christian ! principles? Does this Bible help parents solidify that connection? ! • What do you think our culture believes it means to be a successful woman today?
