Description
If God can choose the Canaanite Tamar to continue the line through which Christ would come, can anything keep Him from weaving your story into His redemptive plan?
Tamar, daughter-in-law of Judah, is the first woman listed in the lineage of Christ. Mistreated, widowed twice, betrayed, and used as a prostitute… it seems impossible that God could redeem her story, but His plan of redemption was prewritten for all eternity-and nothing can get in His way.
Through this in-depth award-winning Bible study, you will discover that no matter life’s twists and turns or your sins and failures, there is a God working behind the seen, redeeming it all for His glory. Designed for either six weeks (in-depth) or twelve weeks (standard) of study.
Winner of the 2022 WCCW “God’s Word is Alive” award and 2nd place winner of the 2022 AWSA “Bible Study of the Year” award.

I found this study fascinating! It was like reading a book you can’t put down. I experienced God’s love through Tamar’s story-That His love runs deep & it stays.

If you have ever doubted if God could truly love you. You will find the answer inside the cover of this book. Your heritage doesn’t matter, your gender doesn’t matter, your circumstances don’t matter. God loves you and He will go to great lengths to redeem you.

I love the compassion Shadia shows for Tamar as she explores the challenges and victories of Tamar’s story. It’s as though that compassion is meant for me and my story as well. A special Bible study.
Tiffany –
I’m still working my way through Tamar, but it’s an amazing study just like the first two in the Behind the Seen series (Legion and Hagar)! I love how in-depth they are. She starts the study looking at the genealogy and the events that brings us to Tamar’s story. She studies out words used, and has extra things to ponder as you work your way through the study. It’s so well written, and I’ve been learning so much from it. I love that this is a workbook study, I love the charts, questions, and places to write out your thoughts. It’s an amazing study and I highly recommend it!
Dee Morris –
I love how this study goes into such depth which causes me to look and reflect on my own life. I can see as I work my way through this study, I can be confident that God does see and hear us and is surely working all things out for good.
This study is so good. I haven’t seen a study on Tamar before and this one digs deep into it. I love Shadia’s studies, and how she brings to light the characters we often miss out on. The study encourages you to dig deep in scripture.
I have completed two other studies by Shadia, Hagar and Legion both which were very educational. I have also completed the Worthy of Love study by this author and it was a very healing
study. Overall, I highly recommend, I love everything by Shadia and I cannot wait to see what is next.

From the incredible cover to the last word it was inspiring! The cover selection where the incident took place, walking away carrying the staff! Breathtaking! The connections with Ruth and Samson and Noah along with the genealogy connections – fantastic! Sharing your heart on page 152 met me right where I am at with all my past failures and sins hounding me day and night! I have personalized the prayer and will print it off for a continual reminder of God’s faithfulness and who am I now that really matters. What great encouragement to say to a friend – Look at who you are now! Thankyou for being so vulnerable and sharing your heart!
Last but not least the goats!!! It made the Matt passage come alive with a new meaning! Are we following Jesus or expecting Him to follow us!
Shadia Hrichi –
I am so delighted the study blessed you, Gigi! And I just LOVE that you personalized the prayer to save and reflect on. May it continue to bless you over and over again! Thank you for sharing your review of the study!
Sue –
I have always overlooked the character of Tamar, and felt her story placed so oddly as chapter 38 in Genesis was a bit of an irritating interruption in the ongoing story of Joseph. But this study was enlightening as to what I had been missing all these years!
I was amazed by how I connected deeply with Tamar and her story of redemption. Thank you, Shadia, for this inspiring study and for the vivid reminder that nothing can thwart God’s plan in my life, not even me!

Our women’s Bible Study group just finished the study on Tamar. We all were totally blessed by this study. Our small group grew so close through everything we shared. I had never done a study that was so insightful and so deep as this. If you’re looking for a great study, I can guarantee you would be happy with any of Shadia’s Bible studies!
