The spiritual power of the Feminine shines forth in this psychological study of four Old Testament heroines from Jesus family tree. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba are the only women mentioned by name in the Gospels genealogies and, for Ann Belford Ulanov, this indicates that they impart something essential to the lineage of Christ.

Ann Ulanovs riveting insights into their daring acts reveal their deep significance in the genealogy of Jesus and expand our understanding of the words courage and love.
