In this compilation of the five books in the best-selling Lineage of Grace series by Francine Rivers, we meet the five women whom God chose - Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Each was faced with extraordinary - even scandalous - challenges. Each took great personal risk to fulfill her calling. Each was destined to play a key role in the lineage of Jesus Christ, the savior of the World.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found it captivating and it also helped me to see things from the perspectives of others in the bible. One thing I can take away is that God always has a plan and situations work out for the good of those who love Him. This is possibly the best book I’ve read in years.

This book restored my hope in God

Loved the stories and the authors take on them.
The narrator pronounces the word ‘especially’ ‘ekpecially’ which I found irritating though. That was the only problem I had.

Loved hearing theses Bible stories with such fullness and detail.

I absolutely love Francine Rivers as an author. I loved the way she filled in the gaps with her storytelling. I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the narrator. The narrator put punctuation in all of the wrong places, and she paused in the wrong places. The narrator mispronounced words incorrectly, for example, she pronounced especially as expecially. It was so frustrating that I had to keep pausing the story to listen to something else, as I could only tolerate it for short periods of time. It's such a pity, as this ruined it for me.

Brilliant story-telling

I have never regretted reading a Francine Rivers book and she makes understanding the Biblical stories relatable and easy. However, the narrator was very disappointing. Too many words (English words, not Biblical words) were mispronounced, annoyingly so. I expect the narrator to have read the book before recording it and sought pronunciations beforehand. Eg, surreptitiously, especially, and a wealth of other words I cannot remember off hand. Plus there was a lot of repetition of sentences, which was disruptive, and some sentences that were not completed. This is probably the editing of the recording rather than the narrator.
I almost returned the book (and haven't finished reading the 4th one yet) but the storylines redeemed it. Anyone who will find the constant errors grating, would be better off purchasing a hard copy.

Francine Rivers is always worth a read
