This compilation of the five books in the bestselling series A Lineage of Grace shares the stories of the five unlikely women who changed eternity. Tamar, betrayed by the men who controlled her future, fought for her right to believe in a loving God. Rahab, a woman with a past, received from God a new path for her future. Ruth, who gave up everything, expecting nothing, and was honored by God. Bathsheba's beauty stirred the passion of a king, and her pain moved the heart of God. Mary responded in simple obedience to God's call in the moment all eternity had been waiting for. Each was faced with extraordinary—even scandalous—challenges, each took great personal risk to fulfill her calling, and each was destined to play a key role in the lineage of Jesus Christ.
