Tamara and Judah

Who was Tamar? What was her life like as a wife and a widow? And what prompted her questionable actions?



This booklet looks at Tamar from a female perspective, and shows the pressures she faced when her husband died, leaving her childless. It looks at the men in her life, how they failed in their care for her, and the desperate plan that she conceived to remedy the situation she found herself in through no fault of her own.



Her life shows how deceit brings consequences to both parties, and how God can use bad situations to further His ultimate plans for us all.



Take a fresh look at Tamar, and decide for yourself if desperate situations justify desperate remedies.
