Riassunto:

Throughout the Bible, God makes himself known as the one who defends, comforts and provides for the widow. From the days of Moses and the prophets, right up to the time of the Lord Jesus Christ and the early church, widows were the special object of God’s fatherly care. 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 Bible’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 sympathise with us in our sorrows and weaknesses.
