Silent No More - Paperback

by Christine Kohler (Author), Dandi Daley Mackall (Foreword by)

Silent No More: Bible Women Speak Up is a collection of 35 persona poems--free-verse, villanelles, sestinas, haikus, reader's theater--in which women of the Bible tell their own stories. The poems reach into the heart of how women in Bible times felt emotionally about their situations. Most are from a time in the women's lives not usually taught in Sunday School or sermons. This poetry book is ideal for use in Bible studies, church settings, devotionals, or individual enjoyment. These poems are good conversation starters to get people digging deeper into the word.
