The complete biblical historical fiction compilation by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind.

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.

Now this book here…… I wish everyone was reading this because it’s gives such a perspective, like yes we know ( she puts a disclaimer as well) that not all the events in it is exactly but it’s shaped around and throughout the Bible so it just helps me understand what was going on, how this happen and such things as their thoughts and I love it. Coming from a person that loved “juicy” & “ spicy” books, it was hard finding books that didn’t have that but still grabbed my attention and interest especially about the Bible, so 100/10 honestly <3 highly recommended

I have two babies rn so I hardly get the time to read anymore but I love this author and so I’m very interested to read and learn from this book. I’ve managed to get a couple pages in and so far it’s very well written, not surprising.. this author has a history of well written books, but that’s my opinion. Will have to check back in once I get farther along.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encontro com personalidades incríveis
Reviewed in Brazil on January 4, 2022

Recomendo!
Comprei o livro “Lineage of Grace” para um clube de leitura e tive excelentes discussões.
Eu não sou particularmente fã de narrativas desenvolvidas sobre histórias bíblicas, principalmente porque os autores acabam se perdendo em seus enredos, os personagens ficam caricatos e histórias mundialmente apreciadas ficam chochas. Contudo, Rivers conseguiu se reinventar nessa obra que reúne seus cinco livros (Tamar, Raabe, Rute, Bateseba e Maria) e trazer perspectivas únicas sobre personalidades bíblicas.
A minha maior redescoberta foi a personagem Batseba, compreendemos pouco a vida e sofrimento dela. Sempre que falamos seu nome é com desprezo por ter “levado Davi a pecar” e entendemos ainda menos sua participação na educação de Salomão. Francine Rivers nos mostra que Batseba não é somente neta de Aitofel, não ficou escondida à sombra de Davi, mas ela foi uma mulher forte, desenvolta, que assumiu o papel de protagonista de sua vida nas escolhas subsequentes que fez.
Rivers apresenta mulheres mais reais, mais humanas, mais imperfeitas... Seus personagens se relacionam com outros, ficam irritados, sofrem de inseguranças, amam a Deus, erram. Sua escrita mostra que os personagens bíblicos são pessoas como você e eu, e essa é a beleza de sua obra.
Confesso que nem tudo são flores. Tive problemas e discuti muito com meus amigos a personagem Tamar. Rivers acabou “viajando” e nossa querida Tamar apresenta muitos “white girl problems”. Ela apresenta uma mulher com inseguranças que (supomos) não combinariam com o pensamento da época.
Por isso, caro leitor, não se sinta obrigado a começar o livro pela primeira personagem. Comece em Rute, pule para Bateseba, volte para Raabe e, se puder, também leia os trechos da Bíblia que contam sobre essas personagens. Você vai conseguir refletir e imaginar ainda mais tudo o que não está dito.
Também gostaria de mencionar o foco narrativo escolhido pela Francine são as mulheres, mas conseguimos ver a nobreza de seus respectivos cônjuges. O que foi Salmon entrando em Jericó e passando menos de um dia lá? Que coragem como espião! Que nobre ele “acolher” Raabe! Quantas discussões deve ter tido até esse combinado ser aceito. Que choque de cultura entre Jericó e Israel. Por quantas adaptações Raabe teve que passar? Que excelente mãe para criar Boaz dentro da lei do Senhor. A imaginação vai que vai...
Em conclusão, se você está procurando um livro para refrescar sua visão sobre a Bíblia ou até mesmo para explicar algumas questões que não ficam muito claras, compre o livro. Sugiro também que você reúna um grupo de amigos para discutir o conteúdo e também suas perspectivas sobre os personagens. Faça uma leitura pausada e com qualidade.

I couldn't put it down and had to read the whole book in a couple of days. Amazing how the she made all the characters alive and I could see the motives behind many of women's actions. For the first time in my life I understood why Tamar seduced Judah or why Rahab betrayed her nation. A breathtaking read. Thanks, Francine
