The Voice of the Mrs.: Summaries of Biblical Wives Who Simply "Spoke a Word." Phyllis Hilliard

Strategically examining the lives and language of fourteen ancient biblical wives, The Voice of the Mrs. details how the power of their words effectuated varying degrees of change in their husbands, personal status, or environment. Reverend Phyllis Thompson Hilliard refers to her extensive research as she fully captures the personalities, triumphs, and struggles of these formidable women recorded in the Old and New Testaments. The conduct of these women is quite diverse and offers a historical perspective on the influence wives can have on their husbands, as well as the challenges wives have faced over the course of history. Reverend Hilliard refers to the Bible often as she focuses on the manner in which wives speak within the confines of marriage then and now. Hilliard then provides the guidance that modern women can apply the lessons learned to their own lives.
