Synopsis: "HE BEGAN WITH EVE tells the vivid stories of five women of the Old Testament: Eve, who was not only the first woman, but also the first wife, the first mother... Jochebed, the mother of Moses... Rahab, the harlot of Jerico, who was rewarded by Joshua for having saved the Hebrew spies whom he sent into the city... Abigail, the resourceful wife who saved her foolish husband from his own mistakes... and Bathsheba, the restless young wife whose beauty became an irresistable temptation to the great King David. These women, Mrs. Landorf tells us, are not "traditional" Bible heroines; but each of them, in their own times and in their own ways, faced some of the same struggles Christian women face today. And in their vivid stories she helps us understand and apply the lessons they learned to our own lives." Though these are biblical women, most of the material of these accounts about them are fictional stories based on Landorf's speculations of the character and circumstances based on these biblical records.
