Tamara’s story begins when she travels with her husband and new-born son from their home in Samaria to a village called Bethlehem, in the year 6BC.
Her life-story is founded upon one of the best-known and loved women from the Bible. Unfortunately, we have not been told her name; so, we shall call her Tamara!
Tamara becomes depressed with years of deep sadness and defeat. Although many judge her as promiscuous, the Bible does not reveal what caused her to make so many bad choices.
Also, the Bible only mentions her when she makes a powerful cameo performance. It is then that Tamara meets her Messiah when he reveals himself to her and uses this defeated woman as a doorway to her nation.
