Featured Article: “Mercy Is the Lord’s Most Powerful Message!” - Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J., the Cardinal Archbishop of Buenos Aries, Argentina, was elected Pope Francis, the Bishop of Rome and 265th Successor of St. Peter?

If you were in the continental United States, chances are you were at work (or school), perhaps finishing lunch. I was in my office, having completed editing an article I had written on the papacy only a few hours before.

All the Women of the Bible

All the Women of the Bible is a treasure trove of information. Saints, sinners, harlots and angels, not a one is missing from this wonderful collection of biographies and stories of over 400 biblical women. If you've ever asked yourself the question, "Who was she?" - you need only to open this amazing book to find out! They're all here, all real women, and all willing to pay whatever price asked to gain their heart's desire. Their struggles, successes and failures still resonate within us today.

All the Women of the Bible by By M. L. del Mastro

Available at Amazon.com

Suggested Retail Price: $9.99

All the Women of the Bible is divided into two sections: "The Book of Names," and "The Book of Stories." "The Book of Names," opens the book and contains over 400 entries. It is a well-researched and easy-to-follow biographical dictionary and thesaurus of sorts, listing each woman along with a short description of her life and citations where her story can be found and cross references to other dictionary entries.

"The Book of Stories," makes up the second half of the book and takes quite a different tone than that of the dictionary. Here, retold in rich detail, are the stories of fifty-six very important women-women whose lives were changed by crisis and challenge; women who learned, shared, or shunned faith in the Lord.
