God chose five women to play key roles in the lineage of Jesus and they are introduced in the Lineage of Grace Series by Francine Rivers. Unveiled, the first book, brings Tamar, daughter-in-law of Judah, to life. Even though she was sinned against and sinned herself, using her wits to trick Judah into sleeping with her, God chose to use her shame to bless her and to show grace and forgiveness to all! Tamar was the mother of Perez, and among his descendants was Boaz, the great-grandfather of King David. Her story assures us that no person or action is beyond the reach of God's mercy! You may read her story in Genesis 38, and find her name in the kingly lineage of Jesus in Matthew 1. Abridged. Read by Anita Lustrea. 2 CDs. 2 1/2 hours.
