Most people skip right past the genealogy in Matthew. They really shouldn't. The five women included in Jesus's family line — Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary — each carry a story that is surprising, complex, and deeply moving. Through carefully researched poetry and rich historical context, this book shines a light on five extraordinary women whose lives remind us that God's grace doesn't skip over the messy parts. Jeopardy-style review questions and a word search included.
