A beautiful hardcover gift edition of this biblical historical fiction compilation by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind.
This beloved book with gold foil embossing on a rich purple linen cover makes a lovely gift.
The Bible is filled with inspiring stories of unlikely candidates God chose to change eternity. This bestselling compilation in one volume contains five novellas about such people—women in the family tree of Jesus Christ.
Tamar. Rahab. Ruth. Bathsheba. Mary.
Each was faced with extraordinary—even scandalous—challenges. But they had courage. They lived daring lives. Sometimes they made mistakes—big mistakes. And yet God, in His infinite mercy, used them to bring forth the Christ, the Savior of the world. Their stories still hold great meaning and inspiration for us today.
Tamar risked her life and her reputation to be the woman she was called to be. See how God uses our circumstances and our steps toward Him, however faltering, to fulfill His plan.
Rahab was exploited by men who saw only her beauty, yet she held fast to her faith in God and was rewarded. Discover how God seeks and finds those whose hearts are tender toward Him, no matter how far away they are.
Ruth’s loyalty, especially toward her mother-in-law Naomi, helped her to persevere in the face of tragedy, and God gave her a second chance at love. Be encouraged that God will provide even when all hope seems lost.
Bathsheba’s scandalous affair with David did not end in one night. Learn that God is willing to restore those lost in the depths of despair who call out to Him.
Mary is one of the most revered women in history. But first, she was an ordinary woman striving to please God in the same way that women still do today. When God spoke, Mary responded in obedience which changed the world forever.
Each novella includes an in-depth Bible study perfect for personal reflection or group discussion.

This collection of five books is wonderful. God's grace is truly evident in each woman's life, as promised by the title. I especially appreciated getting historical context and knowledge of each of these stories, as well as the encouragement to read the actual story in the Bible, with the passages given to you. Highly recommended.

I bought this book about a week ago and I am 200 pages in. This is one of the most powerful books about the women of the bible that I have ever read. I am starting the Book of Ruth now and Literally have only put it down to do this review. PICK IT UP!!!

Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers was not a book I could finish reading. I was very excited to learn about the concept of this book: a look at the women in Jesus' genealogy. Unfortunately, I found this book too be too sexual & lustful to finish. I was highly disappointed.

This book is amazing! I love how it has all five woman from Jesus' lineage and how Francine Rivers puts story line to Biblical accounts. This book had me captivated from the beginning and so excited to read about each woman. I LOVED the accounts of Tamar and Bathsheba and I have always loved Ruth and her account made me love her even more. Every woman should read this book!
