Tamar. Her name meant date palm. It was a name given to one who would become beautiful and graceful. A lovely biblical retelling of Tamar. Not an easy story to tell but I love how Francine Rivers leads your imagination beyond what is provided in the Bible. I listened to the accompanied audiobook performed by Barbara Rosenblat. I give 5 stars for a an excellent dramatic performance. This is my first book by this author but will not be my last. Recommended for those who like to read biblicalAn interesting Christian historical fiction based on Gen 38. Reading this made me really appreciate not just the freedoms but the respect woman have in the area of the world I have lived. I absolutely can not imagine what it must have been like to be a woman at that time. To be treated worse than an animal in many ways. Nothing in my world could even touch the depth of sorrow, betrayal, grief and loneliness that these woman endured.
Our new little Book Club decided to read this Francine Rivers biography of the Biblical figure, Tamar, the hapless daughter-in-law of Judah (the older brother of Joseph (coat of many colors fame.)I had previously discounted this little series of books as worth my time and money. I was SO WRONG! Francine Rivers works her magic to help us to see a woman that God chose, as He walked the hallway of human history, to show us how to persevere and to ultimately delight in learning to trust in the God
Like the other Francine Rivers' books I have read, Unveiled brings light to a person in the Bible, getting me to think about them in more than a two-dimensional fashion. This was true of Gomer's story in Redeeming Love and also to some degree with Tamar in this book. I admit that I never considered why Tamar made the choices she did in Judah's family. She simply fell into a little box in my head of "bad people making bad choices." Simplistic, I know. Rivers skillfully points out the many sinful
Unveiled: Tamar's story of being unloved but not forgotten. It was believed that she had a curse on her husbands, or the first two line of Hebrew men since it was there custom on both sides (Canaanite and Hebrew Jew) to marry next male child in line if your first husband dies. She had to dress and become a harlot to get what was rightfully hers; to carry the seed of her husband. It showed disobedience can be life-threatening, but she held on to the promise regardless of the lie Judah told her in
Rivers can eleborate on a biblical story so that it truly comes alive as a real person living their day-to-day lives during that time. She certainly did her homework with customs and culture, and it is still a quick, light, easy read. Then she ties it all to the bigger picture of the lineage of Christ. Bravo!
Its amazing how God can use us. Great story.
