The Passions of the Matriarchs
Author: Shera Aranoff Tuchman
Publisher: KTAV Publishing House, Inc.
ISBN: 9780881258479
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
The Bible is spare in its use of dialogue when it comes to the biblical matriarchs--Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah. The written biblical text records at length, and in minute detail, the religious and national history of the Jewish people. Yet it only affords us a mere glimpse of the private and intimate lives of these strong and prophetic women. On the surface, these women--the biblical matriarchs--lived difficult and flawed lives. They endured childlessness, abduction, wearisome marriages, envy of the other woman, and difficult children. We are left wondering what they thought and how they felt, as they lived their personal lives and built a nation. This book, for the first time ever, answers these questions by drawing extensively upon classical biblical commentaries and Talmudic and Rabbinic writings which reveal the underlying emotions of the matriarchs. The reader enters the world of the matriarchs, experiencing the agony of infertility, the ecstasy of passionate love, and the pain of being unloved. Their thoughts, feelings, words and actions are fleshed out, and the women emerge not as one-dimensional figures, but as complex women possessing an array of universal passions. At the same time, these women remain grounded in Godliness, building the House of Israel as partners with the patriarchs. The Passions of the Matriarchs is a riveting and readable book that tells the story behind the passions that ruled the lives of these laudable women.

Our Father, Our Teacher
Author: Christopher J. Reeves
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666745472
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
From the beginning, God created men and women in his own image, as the objects of his love. His intention has been to father mankind, raising us as his children. While the intimacy of this relationship was broken through the fall, our Father has never stopped loving us. His faithful lovingkindness is unchanged. And through Jesus we not only see the intimate relationship of Father and Son as the divine pattern but we find ourselves restored as children in his household. Through Jesus we can experientially live in relationship with our Father and, through the working of the Holy Spirit within, affectionately call him our Abba. The greatest opportunity is now afforded to us—to walk in loving intimacy with our Father as he raises us, teaches us his ways, and matures within us his divine nature of other-centered love. Our Father, Our Teacher is a biblical exploration of how God is drawing men and women to himself in an experiential relationship of love and learning.
