The first - ‘The New Testament for Women (including Psalms and Proverbs)’ features the Good News translation printed in a compact format. Throughout the text are three personal stories of women coming to faith plus three ‘Help and Guidance’ sections.

Second - ‘He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me’ is the catchy title of a full colour publication of Luke’s gospel presented as a biography of Jesus. Compiled by Lesley Ramsay, ‘He Loves me..’ is designed with chapter headings and sub-headings replacing chapter numbers and verses. It seeks to help women come to a greater understanding of who Jesus is and looks at some of ‘the slices of his life’ through a woman’s eyes. There is also a range of testimonials from Australian Christian women.

Speaking at the launch, Beccy Pippert said that despite the misunderstanding of non-Christians about the place of women in the Bible, Jesus actually elevated their status by interacting with them on a personal level.

Both books, part of Bible Society’s Women’s ministry, are now on sale through the Bible Society NSW’s web site, or at the Bookshop at 213 Clarence Street Sydney. ‘He loves me ..’ retails for $4.95. ‘The New Testament for Women’ retails for $8.95.
