Product Description
A masterful retelling of Tamar's story of redemption, faith, healing, and justice
"As an author of biblical fiction, I know the amount of research and
work that goes into crafting a story like this. Miriam Feinberg Vamosh
and Eva Marie Everson comprise the perfect team." —Jerry B. Jenkins, The Chosen series
Ravaged by one brother, silenced and betrayed by another, and abandoned
by her father, Tamar—once beloved daughter of the king of Israel, and
healer of the court—suddenly finds herself in exile, fleeing for her
life. But the story continues where the scriptures end: a dangerous
journey and tenacious pursuit of her true identity and calling brings
her full circle, to her rightful place in the kingdom.
- Ahoti brings to life the Old Testament story of the biblical princess Tamar, the daughter of David, King of Israel.
- The familiar Bible story ends with Tamar living “desolate” (2 Samuel 13:20), but master storytellers Miriam Feinberg Vamosh and Eva Marie Everson take readers beyond this sorrowful ending to a horizon of hope, thanks to their brilliant adaptation of an ancient anonymous manuscript, purportedly written by Gad the Seer (1 Chronicles 29:29), which was discovered in India in the early 18th century. Beyond the biblical text, this manuscript provides a surprising conclusion, which has powerful modern-day significance.
- Rich with cultural, biblical, and historic detail, and spiritually compelling, Ahoti will inspire readers to overcome humiliation, pain, betrayal, and bitterness, to embrace a life of purpose.
