Rebekah: Women of Genesis

This book really opened my eyes to learn more about the culture and the way day-to-day life must have been in the Bible. Not only that, but I really saw through the characters, just how much we are self-criticizers and doubt ourselves. We doubt the love that others have for us, we doubt most especially the love that God has for us. How do we compare ourselves to others - maybe its an older or "more-loved" sibling, a mere friend who seems to have unending talents that are unachievable, or someone who just seems to have complete faith and trust in God. Really, God wants to love and show us the same tender mercies and blessings - but the person most likely standing in the way is ourselves. It all comes back to that first basic principle - faith.
