Tokens of Promise
Posted on September 26th, 2013 No commentsTokens of Promise by Teresa Pollard is a story about Judah and Tamar. When Judah comes to Tamar’s defense, he knows he can’t just walk away from her. But he is married and has vowed to have only one wife. So he gives her to his eldest son, Er. Er is an evil young man who puts his needs and desires first. Although Ruah is in love with him, he decides he must have Tamar for his own. Tamar admits her love to Judah, but the wedding still takes place. It is anything but a romantic night, which ends in tragedy. Her second marriage is no less tragic. She returns to her father to await Shelah coming of age. Will her marriage to Judah’s third son also end in disaster? You’ll have to read to find out!
What a novel! It starts with a bang and speeds along toward a gripping climax scene. I found the book hard to put down. There were quite a few surprises that I didn’t see coming. The author weaved fiction and nonfiction masterfully.
This novel is definitely for a mature reader. At times I felt like I was reading a secular romance novel. (I’m ashamed to admit I read them before I became a Christian.) Some things didn’t need to be painted so vividly for the reader.
There were also a couple times when the story strayed from the Biblical account. I don’t believe we should re-write Scripture. It’s perfect the way it is!
All in all, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others.
The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of the book through BookCrash.
