One of the biggest excuses people make for not putting their faith in Jesus is, “My life is too messed up. God could never accept me like this. When I get things figured out, I’ll get back to God…”

If that’s you, have I got a book for you!

The Bible is full of people with really messed up lives, messed up priorities, messed up families, messed up kids, messed up marriages, messed up parents, etc. And the cool part is this, if they’re in the Bible, God was somehow actively using those messed up lives to move His great story of redeeming love and forgiveness toward its climax in the Person, life and work of Jesus Christ. And if He can use those people, He can do the same in your life.

The story of Judah and Tamar is just such a story. Click the image above to listen to the most recent (and final) message in the “Women of Genesis” series.
