The Three Wise Women: A Christmas Reflection. By: Christin Ditchfield. Several years ago, a friend gave me this book as a Christmas gift. It looks at the Christmas story from a different point of view. (This is NOT a pro-feminist book, trying to emphasize the role of women more than the role of men in Christmas.) It powerfully highlights the lives of Mary, Elisabeth and Anna, emphasizing their strengths and how God uses women in different stages of life. I particularly like the way the author included scripture quotations (written scripture, not just references) and the historical context of these women’s lives. I believe that women of all ages will be encouraged by the lives of these Godly women. Recommended for ages 12 and older. Hardback, pages.
