pickThis was a great retelling of the Biblical story of Tamar.
Fourteen year old Tamar is betrothed to Ur, the son of Judah. She is terribly mistreated by her husband and mother in law.
Worst of all, she is left widowed and childless.
Tamar does what she feels is best to insure an heir for the family of Judah.
pick4 Stars • "The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak" by Shannon Bream explores faith lessons from nine Biblical families, focusing on the women. It's aimed at readers seeking spiritual guidance through historical female perspectives in the Bible.

pickI 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.

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 ☀️😎
This week, I‘m sharing my #weeklyfavorites. The only book I finished this month and liked was the tagged book. It‘s about all of the women in the Bible. It was interesting. I think it‘s a good book for a Women‘s Bible Study group or to read on your own for fun like I was doing. I‘m not in a Bible Study group but I still got a lot out of reading this book. This one was on my #bookspinbingo list and I can finally cross it off.
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 🤷🏻♀️
pickHere‘s my review for a book I just finished reading. This is the second book I‘ve read for #awesomeapril. This will also count for #bookspinbingo. This book was picked last month when the numbers were drawn so now, I can cross this one off my #bookspin list and be done with it. It was interesting but I‘m not going to reread it. Reading it once was enough for me.
I made more progress in this book. Now, I have 1 hour and 14 minutes left in this book.

I‘ve made more progress in this book for the #awesomeapril readathon. This will be my second book. I looked in the Kindle book and it says that I have 2 hours and 44 minutes left in the book. This book is very interesting. It doesn‘t feel dry or boring and it‘s not written like a textbook. I feel like this would be a good book for a Women‘s Bible Study group to read but I also think it‘s great to read just for fun which is how I‘m reading it.
