Carol Cook Bathsheba Bathed in Grace

Annotation

YOU'VE HEARD THEIR STORIES ALL YOUR LIFE BUT DO YOU REALLY KNOW THE BIBLE'S REBEL WOMEN?Adultery, lies, deception, scandal, murder, cover-up, heartache, pain, and loss - stories with these sordid elements are relevant today. And women with shady pasts - labeled, shamed, and linked with tragedies - are part of our heritage. Bathsheba, a victim or temptress, Eve outside of Eden, Tamar posed as a prostitute, Leah stole her sister Rachel's fiance...Sarah gave Hagar to her husband and Rebekah masterminds a grave deception.Captivating! I found myself in each of these scandalous women and I shut the book feeling so grateful. If you think you know these stories, I'm guessing you haven't heard them quite like this! Anna Laurel, FOX News BroadcasterFar from a dry historical account of stories we've heard before... this book masterfully immerses women into the rich past of our biblical sisters... weaving their stories into our lives like an elaborate tapestry. As these tales gracefully unfold, we are lost in a world centuries gone...to heart-wrenching journeys of passion, betrayal, and redemption. Lin Sue Cooney, NBC Newscaster
