Book Description
'Tamar, Tamarites, and Judah-like Tamar', unveils one of the greatest mysteries surrounding the subject of greatness, inheritance and, or succession, even when the inheritor or heir is not fully aware of the force of destiny at work in his life and experiences. Tamar, though a daughter-in-law, became appreciably more prominent than the sons of Judah that she married when the genealogy of Judah and mankinds Messiah from Abraham through to David and beyond was traced. She broke the tradition that denied her the right of strong-say in the matters of inheritance in the family she married into and become a reference point. This is a great lesson for mankind. There is the story of a man allotted his only house (a one story building) to his eldest sons wife because he claimed she was the only person closest to him who made it a duty to bring his meals to his home for the remaining years of his life that he lived as a widower. He said he had shared the legacy of education up to the university level to all his biological children and owed them nothing else. He placed a curse on whoever would not allow the favoured daughter-in-law to enjoy the inheritance he gave her. Meanwhile, the daughter-in-law merely took to heart the counsel or teaching of her parents to care for her parents-in-law like she would do for her own parents if she desired to enjoy her marriage. They had taught her that as long as she went out of her way to care for her parents-in-law, they would protect her marriage from unbearable bad treatment by her husband and other family members. She gained more than she anticipated from heeding this parental counsel.

Book Description
There have been all sorts of relatives since the time of Cain and Abel, Joseph and his elder brothers, Laban against Jacob as well as Esau and Jacob. As things turned out, David wished his nephews, the sons of Zeruiah, one of his sisters, had not joined his army. They had a lusty craving for violence without reverence for God and immediate reality, whereas David reverenced God above anything else. You and I need God to shield us from the troubles that relatives constitute. Some are more of a curse than a blessing.

Book Description
The Weight of Womanhood highlights the incomprehensible avoidable pressures put on women by societal expectations, male folks and sometimes women themselves. There is this culture of taking women for granted or taking advantage of women. Laban used his two daughters to swindle his nephew, Jacob, the Philistine Kings, and high officials used Delilah against Israelite leader, Samson who had become a pain in the ass for the Philistines’ leadership. King Saul attempted to use his daughters rather than any of his sons to kill David. Certain cultures imply that one of the worst things a woman can do is to conceive and bear a girlchild. They turn a blind eye to the murder of millions of growing girlchild in the womb on yearly basis. Moses’ older sister, Miriam resented and antagonized his wife to the extent that God was incensed to punish Miriam. King Rehoboam robbed his eldest son of his right because he preferred one of his stepmothers to the eldest son’s mother. When Samson’s mother claimed that an angel had visited her to talk about the imminent conception and birth of Samson, his father did not believe her. She had to ask God to resend His angel to attest to her claim before Samson’s father believed her. Most men take women’s gynecological and maternal exigencies for granted. Once Hannah did not conceive and bear him a child quickly, though he was supposed to love her very much, Elkanah opted for a second wife, Peninnah who made life miserable for Hannah once she bore Elkanah children while Hannah remained barren. He did not do anything to restrain Peninnah from worsening Hannah’s miseries.

Book Description
'Save Us to Serve You' is about the fact that Saviours of their fellow humans start off as the servant of their fellow men and end up as the masters of the same group of people. This means that they practice the principle of the way up is down and sowing soothing service to reap resounding service from your beneficiaries. Therefore, helpers help others earlier to help themselves later or givers get greater return. Jesus affirmed this when He said whoever wants to be the master over others must start with serving the wellbeing of the people. Jesus meant that people like to serve any individual who makes their wellbeing his highest priority.

Book Description
The Story of Judah and Tamar in Genesis 38 is a familiar one in the Christian Bible. Nevertheless, it is also a controversial chapter in biblical scholarship due to an apparently dissonant narrative. In fact most expositions of the Book of Genesis do not waste much ink on this story. There are prominent theologians who insist that this episode plays no role whatsoever in Genesis and that it should not even be inserted into the divine record. However, what is included by the Holy Spirit is not so easily dismissed by the doubts or cleverness of men. It is the conviction of this author that the Story of Judah and Tamar properly understood models a reading of Scripture that is consonant with what the church fathers have termed 'regula fidei' or 'rule of faith'. Such an interpretation upholds a reading tradition pioneered by Jesus, the apostles and the church fathers. When seen through this canonical prism - rather than invoking skepticism - this brief but significant account in the divine record should alert Christians to a deep mystery in the divine revelation concerning God's identity, His move, and His abiding relevance for present day Christian life, living and experience.

Book Description
Daddy and Mummy are the first teachers, mentors, and examples available for children to take after. As a result, children are naturally tempted to become addicted to whatever they see their parents do in their childhood and formative years. However, because all humans have their inevitable and inalienable weaknesses, it is punitive for children to imbibe the curious characters and conduct of parents because it would affect the children and, in turn, their own children, as well as the society in general. It is profitable to identify and adopt the commendable character and conduct of parents, as well as abhor and avoid the curious character and conduct of parents.

Book Description
All Rise...In this exciting story, you are 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 surrogacy to continue 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 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; each reader is enlightened and richly blessed, as we once again engaged the faithfulness of God.
