His First Wife : Jacob's Family. Cet article n’est pas disponible.His First Wife : Jacob's Family

I have been married for thirty-nine years to the same gentleman. We raised six well-adjusted children who are, in my opinion, a blessing to today's business climate and the working world. One son went into the Christian ministry after working as a scientist for a time.We always go to church and I love to listen to challenging sermons. I noticed that pastors often mention Abraham or his sons from the Old Testament of the Bible (the Jewish Torah). However, some other events in the lives of these patriarchs are mentioned seldom, some never. Some episodes are not suitable for young children.I am stepping into this vacuum because I love to read about conflicts. However, since we are not to add or subtract from the Bible, I am stepping into it and am supplying the missing links that surely were there. My story slips to the level of a novel.I was born in a farming area before electricity was installed there and can still remember how it was 'in the olden days.' Romantic love was not always a necessary ingredient for marriage. How might Leah, the first wife of Jacob, have felt? And, can women of today learn from her? This is the message I liked to portray in this novel.
