Ordinary Women of the Bible is Jill Eileen Smith’s largest series, with 20 entries published between 2019 and 2024. Unlike her earlier series focused on well-known figures like Bathsheba or Rachel, this collection tells the stories of unnamed or barely mentioned women from the Bible.
Each novella gives a name and a full story to a woman who appears only briefly in Scripture. The Healer’s Touch: Tikva’s Story, Rich Beyond Measure: Zlata’s Story, and A Perilous Journey: Phoebe’s Story are examples. The series covers women from both the Old and New Testaments, imagining their daily lives and personal struggles.
