THROUGHOUT THE AGES, COURAGEOUS WOMEN HAVE GIVEN UP EVERYTHING TO FOLLOW CHRIST. WHAT MOTIVATED THEM TO ABANDON ALL FOR THE GOSPEL?

Are men alone created by God for deeds of bravery? Did God create women to be shy and retiring? If you were to meet biblical figures such as Priscilla or Phoebe, Deborah or Jael, would you consider them role models for Christian women today?

Author John Eldredge has written a popular book, Wild at Heart (Thomas Nelson), which suggests that men have a desperate desire for "a battle to fight, an adventure to live and a beauty to rescue." Men, he says, are born with a craving for adventure, "with all its requisite danger and wildness."
