See all formats and editions

If you’ve ever read about the Proverbs 31 Virtuous Woman in the Old Testament, it’s now time for you to read about some other Old Testament women who are LESS THAN VIRTUOUS, but MORE THAN CAPABLE. In LESS THAN VIRTUOUS – MORE THAN CAPABLE, Adkins takes a fresh look at some familiar women in the Old Testament who have traditionally been presented in negative narratives. But Adkins also introduces some unfamiliar women who are named in the Bible but who have often been ignored—from the pulpit to the pew, from Sunday morning sermons to midweek bible studies. LESS THAN VIRTUOUS – MORE THAN CAPABLE highlights everyday women who are at times messy, but who are nevertheless marvelous. It is a book about everyday women who possess strengths worthy of affirmation by everyday women.

Imaginative, informative, engaging book!

Because so many women in the Bible are unnamed and even those who are named are often ignored or portrayed as negative, I welcome Rev. Dr. Kanisha L. Adkins’ inspiring, informative book Less Than Virtuous—More Than Capable: Affirmations for Everyday Women. The title of the book refers to the unnamed woman praised in Proverbs 31, well known as the “virtuous woman.” It’s refreshing to read Dr. Kanisha’s book that lifts up named women in the Hebrew Scriptures, some familiar and some overlooked, not as unattainable models of perfection but as women with flaws as well as many strengths. She invites all of us to explore the struggles and strengths of these women and to claim their strengths in our lives.

Less Than Virtuous—More Than Capable contributes to gender equality by highlighting the strengths of biblical women, and I recommend this imaginative, insightful book to people of all genders and races. Rev. Dr. Kanisha’s book is ideal not only for empowering women, but also for laypeople and pastors of all genders to use in personal meditation, Bible study groups, and sermons. Written in an accessible, engaging style, this book invites us all to affirm the strengths of these biblical women in our own lives.

Enlightening and Empowering

This book is amazing. I had not heard of half these names prior to this. The “Her Story” sections from the author’s “sanctified imagination” inspired me to delve deeper into scripture and see even the women that I had familiarity with, in a new light. They became more than just characters or side stories. I saw them as real women with every emotion and struggle that all of us humans have. Also, the “Strength Affirmations” are powerful, important nuggets of truth. Great tools for morning meditation with God. I believe every reader will find something in this book that resonates with their spirit.

Excellent Study Guide for Women Empowerment

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is an easy read yet pack with information on Women of the OT. I will be using it as a bible study guide as well as a self-study. Never knew the OT had so many women in it. Most of us hear about Sarah (Sari), Naomi and Ruth but there are so many other women and this book show how God used them in his service. It also shows their survival and courage. This book will help to bring empowerment to women, especially if used as a ministry study guide. It will help those that are struggling with self-worth, and it gives the positive side of how women during that time survived and that they were over comers. So often the negative is shown but not the positive mainly because of how women were viewed during those days. Reading the book, I was able to see myself in many of the women. I recommend the book.

I love how the women of the Bible came alive to me. I’ve questioned their reactions and wondered how each would respond now. The interactive piece of this book encouraged me to evaluate my own thoughts and life. I still have a few more stories to finish. This is a best seller!
