The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible
Many of us believe we are unseen.
Memories of being on the outside still haunt us today. We somehow believe we are unique in being overlooked. And yet, the Bible is replete with women just like us—women who felt on the outskirts of life, unseen and voiceless. In their stories, you will not only learn more about the women of the Bible, but you’ll begin to understand that you are both seen and heard.
How about you? Have you ever felt like life has passed you by? When you look back on your pivotal moments, do you feel unseen and overlooked? You are not alone. Not only have others around you experienced the same things, but many women in the Bible have too. We all have asked questions like:
· Why can’t people seem to see and notice me?
· How can I overcome this feeling of rejection?
· What does a “seen” life actually look like in a world of social media and the insta-famous?
This universal feeling is normal, but it doesn’t have to stick to you. Through the raw and real stories of ten women who also felt overlooked, you can unearth new ways to find meaning and joy in a world that ignores you.
The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible will help you find your place in this world, rest in being seen, and empower you to find your unique voice.

Twelve-year-old Blake reluctantly joins his professor dad on a journey to his uncle’s farm just before his team’s big game. Unfortunately for Blake, who wants nothing more than to practice with the baseball team, something has gone terribly wrong at this family-distant farm. Fruit floats off the vines in the late morning sun, soaring high into the sky, only to bombard the town each evening. Ruined paint, fear of falling watermelons, and upset neighbors are pushing everyone to the limit. Worse yet, it seems someone is causing the mischief, but who?
Helium Farm is the prequel to the helium series for 8-12 year olds. A great read for those who like adventure, humor, and watching a family turn to God in trying times.
Melinda Poling delights in bringing Christ to the center of any conversation. Her true-to-life stories have been published in magazines and blogs, and her fiction has won many awards—most recently ACFW’s KidLit award of excellence, 2nd place. Her blog encourages parents to disciple their children in honor of God. Melinda is a ministry team leader, an active apologetics coach, a speaker, and the mother of eight sons and one daughter as well as a grandmother of seven.
Saved at age nine, she knows what it’s like to live with and without Christ and seeks to turn the lights on for others through dynamic escapades leaving kids mulling over gospel truth.
Kids are so influential, and our society is so askew. Who might you share a free helium adventure with that brims with hope? Parents will receive monthly encouragement and kids can enjoy hours of wholesome hilarity through the free download of Helium Farm at MelindaPoling.com.
