Silent No More: Bible Women Speak Up is a collection of 35 persona
poems—free-verse, villanelles, sestinas, haikus, reader’s theater—in which women of the Bible tell their own stories. The poems reach into the heart of how women in Bible times felt emotionally about their situations. Most are from a time in the women’s lives not usually taught in Sunday School or sermons. This poetry book is ideal for use in Bible studies, church settings, devotionals, or individual enjoyment.
