Leah: Unnoticed. Unwanted. Unloved. by Amanda Bedzrah

 

Leah: Unnoticed. Unwanted. Unloved. by Amanda Bedzrah helps bring to life the story of Jacob, Rachel and Leah from the bible. Ms. Bedzrah did extensive research into Jewish history and the Bible in order to offer an authentic prtrayal of what life may have been like at the time that Jacob worked to earn Rachel as his wife. After Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Rachel's older sister Leah, Jacob must labor another seven years for Rachel. 

As a result of the switched brides Leah is condemed to a life of always being less than. No matter what she does her husband always prefers her sister, his second wife. I loved the way that this book brought understanding as to how Leah may have fealt. It is a very good book.

I read this book and state that all thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

Lying in bed next to ‘the man of her dreams’, Leah is crippled with fear and unable to sleep. She knows that her husband Jacob is going to wake up to her, not “the woman of his dreams”.

Jacob worked and served Leah’s father Laban for seven years to marry her younger sister Rachel, but on the night of their wedding, the brides were switched; the right man was married to the wrong bride.

As Leah anticipates, his dissatisfaction is not hidden; his rejection is immediate.

Seven days later, Jacob marries Rachel after promising to work another seven years for her.

Leah is now left in a place of pain and bitterness. A fearsome war erupts. She is in a battle for her husband’s affection – not with an enemy, but with her own sister!

Will she ever be loved and accepted?

Can God use a woman like Leah: unnoticed, unwanted, and unloved, to change history?

This book is a fictional retelling of one of the greatest Bible stories of all time. It is a story of love, deception, betrayal, competition, heartbreak, and forgiveness.

It reminds us that God has a plan and purpose for our lives. No pain is ever wasted with God!
