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.
pickThis is beautiful, thoughtful & reflective—just what I‘d expect from Marilynne Robinson! I read it slowly, and found myself referencing it frequently in conversations. I lead an Education for Ministry (EfM) group at my church, and year after year my first year participants have such a hard time with reading the Hebrew Bible—not only because it‘s long & often dry, but because there‘s so much that‘s hard to stomach: patriarchy, violence, legalism.⤵️
pick5 ⭐. Nonfiction, religious, self-help.
pickSuch a beautiful, heartbreaking book!
It‘s shaping up to be a very nonfiction-y September, with these two #BookSpin picks!
I have five in-progress books going right now, and they‘re ALL nonfiction—highly unusual for me! Planning to finish up at least two of those five this week. And I simply must get some fiction on deck ASAP!
