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.

    I bought this book as a present for a friend because I had read it a long while ago and loved it. I’ve long been fascinated by the (bracketed) ladies in the ancestral line of Jesus. Women who understood the purposes of God in a male-dominated environment and were determined to enter into all that he had for his people. Somehow, like Abraham, they saw it afar off and believed. This collection of stories based on Biblical truth makes a gripping and inspirational read.

    This time I was buying for a friend who has just started her Christian journey but I read this early on in my walk with Jesus and I was so encouraged that the women in His genealogy were not stainless perfect women, it helped me to feel really accepted by Him. This book gives you a new insight into Bible characters and you'll read the Bible in a different light after reading this book, it makes you think about how things were for real people in Biblical times.

    This book brings alive the sometimes ‘obscure’ stories in the Bible. I read it many years ago, but do not hesitate to buy it for friends, some of whom are new in the faith, to help them understand God ‘s amazing plan.

    I had previously read The Mark of the Lion series and I had read the reviews for this book. I love Francine Rivers' writing style, the way she makes you feel as if you are there, makes you love characters, or feel compassion for characters who lived once before. Like The Mark of the Lion series, this book has definitely aided in my maturity. Would recommend.
