Abilene TX—Leafwood Publishers is pleased to announce that Tamar: Rediscovering the God Who Redeems Me, has won its second award this year. After receiving the 2022 WCCW (West Coast Christian Writers) “God’s Word is Alive” award in February “for an author who has published an excellent Bible study that brings the Bible to life in a unique way,” Tamar won Second Place in the Bible Study category at the AWSA (Advanced Writers and Speakers Association) Golden Scroll Awards.
Tamar: Rediscovering the God Who Redeems Me is a six-week in-depth Bible study based on the biblical account of Tamar, Judah’s daughter-in-law, the first woman listed in the lineage of Christ.
Endorsed by best-selling authors Francine Rivers, Liz Curtis-Higgs, Susy Flory, and many others, Tamar takes readers on a journey to discover that nothing can thwart God’s plan—not even you. God works behind the seen, redeeming it all for His glory.
