In this sensitively written book, Austin Walker looks at the accounts of women such as Naomi, Ruth, the widows of Zarephath and Nain, the Jerusalem widows, and Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, and applies the Bibles’s teaching by offering wise counsel, warm encouragement and practical advice. In particular, he encourages us all to keep looking to Jesus, who alone can truly sympathize with us in our sorrows and weaknesses.
