Another Good Book

Unveiled by Francine Rivers is another great book. I borrowed it from Jen Thursday night and had it finished by Friday night. It is novella about Tamar the daughter in law of Judah. The story goes thru her life from being sold off to Judah's household to wed his son Er. It goes on to talk about how she dealt with his abuse and then death after only one year. She then is given to Judah's second son who also dies quickly. She is then sent away for years until she decides to take matters into her own hands. Throughout the whole story she decides the Caananite idols are not a real god as she was taught and that there must be something else. Without help from Judah she discovers his God the God of Jacob and Abraham and with his help survives until a time when God changes Judah's heart.There are 4 other books in the series Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary. These are all women in the lineage of Jesus. I can't wait to read the rest.
