Thanks to a dear friend, I’ve begun reading a series of five books written by Francine Rivers. The novellas are quick and easy to read and have study guides included…perfect for book club study and discussion. Each book is written about one of five women from Scripture who played a role in the lineage of Jesus. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary….their stories are taken from Scripture and then fictionalized to give more insight into what life may have been like for these women. In the end, these stories vividly tell the story of women of great faith who were faced with issues that are still quite relevant today. I’m reading the third book, “Unshaken”, and have found (so far) the books to be quite thought-provoking. I would love to hear from anyone who has read any of these books!
