Have you heard of the woman who dropped a millstone from a tower on an attacking general's head? Or the woman whose parable convinced King David to change his political policy? Or the queen who refused to perform naked for the drunken king and his courtiers? These are only a few of the fascinating women you will meet in this collection of poems about women in the Old Testment. According to Phyllis Trible, "Imagination, wit and love have inspired Thomas John Carlisle to offer perceptive readings of women in ancient Israel. His gift challenges even as it entertains."
