Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this series of novellas about Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. These women were strong of faith and character and stood fast in their convictions when many around them were filled with doubt (about everything not just their belief in God). Ruth's story was my favorite.

There was a lot of bible study at the end of each story that I skipped. But as a historical fiction read--Worthy! I learned a lot.

#BookedInTime

Back to my #BookedInTime read. Picking up where I left off with Ruth's story.

And yay! The weather is finally cooperating for reading in my new outdoor space ☀️😎

Starting this for May #BookedInTime biblical fiction

Since it's 5 novellas I'm not sure if I'm going to read it straight through or break it up with some other reading 🤷🏻‍♀️

Found my May #BookedInTime Biblical fiction read!! Five novellas about 5 biblical women: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary.

It was a pick. Unfortunately I did not get to finish before it became due at the library. I will finish the last two novellas when I get the chance. Sometimes a bit repetitive. It must be difficult to take a few verses/chapters from the Bible and make a full story. Fascinating read.

Interesting take on women throughout the Bible, who were part of Christ‘s lineage. Thoughtful and creative insights.

There is no other peace like a still morning and a good book. #beachreading #coffee #yeti #woolsocks #onlyinminnesota

Currently reading....i am not sure how I feel about it.....I have some issues with the way women are treated. Jesus. #books #booklover #christianbooks #christianfiction

The stories of five ordinary women whom God used for extraordinary things. Have been reading this for awhile and have loved the author‘s interpretations and added dialogue! It even includes a bible study at the end of each story!
