Judah's Tamar In Her Shoes (Trials) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

All Rise... In this exciting story, you are hereby invited to an arena of traditional wrestling, a place where checks and balances are the probes for truth and justice, "court." Law student Felecia (the created character for this story), has been given an assignment. Tasked with selecting and developing a simulated mock trial to write about, she has chosen the fascinating story surrounding "Judah and Tamar," from the Bible. Unfolding details of their story reveals a time when the act of surrogacy, to continue the family legacy, was lawful, and strongly encouraged.

If a man (husband) died before having a son with his young wife, and he had other immediate male relatives, the law dictated that the next of kin was obligated to step in, assume the role of husband, and provide an heir for the departed. However, in Tamar's case after the death of her husband, things did not go accordingly. At the center of it all was her father-in-law, Judah. Presiding over this amazing case, is none other than the honorable "Judge Deborah," borrowed from the Bible's book of, "Judges." Equipped with motive, opportunity, evidence, witnesses, and a surprise verdict, Tamar is taking Judah to court! Cooperating with biblical history, uniquely, Felecia transcribes an exciting version of their story. She brings a fresh perspective, highlights, and revelation to an old, wonderful, yet intriguing story of patience, persistence, perceived prostitution, and the fulfillment of a promise.

Also documented here are six modern-day stories displaying the consequences of human emotions, vacillating from fear to secret desire. As always, it is wished with great sensitivity in spirit, that each reader is enlightened and richly blessed, as we once again, engaged the faithfulness of God Almighty!
