Four Things the Bible Has to Say About Childrearing The Bible gives four key points on raising children. Parents should raise children with a distinct goal in mind--and it's not necessarily to see them be happy, fulfilled individuals. The Bible mentions one specific task that parents cannot give to another person, no matter how competent that other person is. Beyond that, the Bible talks about discipline and the one thing parents must never ever do to their children. The Truth About Women of the Bible Women of the Bible represent a diverse sampling of females, ranging from royalty (Queen Esther) to migrant farm workers (Ruth) and from the very good (Mary, the mother of Jesus) to the very bad (Jezebel). Women were warriors (Deborah), merchants (Lydia), landowners (the unnamed Proverbs 31 woman), mothers (Leah, Hannah, Sarah) and prophetesses (Miriam, Anna). What is the Truth about Queen Esther of the Bible? Esther is one of the most unusual books of the Bible, but it is not often studied. Esther reads more like a novel than a Bible story--with suspenseful twists and turns and reversals of fortune--that make traditional verse-by-verse study difficult. Esther is overlooked sometimes because it is not an overtly religious book at all--yet it is clearly one of the most important books of Scripture, in fact, one of the most important books ever written.
