Lamarra - by Theresa Bean Turner (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Have you read a story in the Bible and wondered what happened to that person? What journey did their faith take them on after the scene in the scripture? This book allows you to step into the life of the woman in the gospel of John (chapter four) and see what happened before and after her meeting with the Christ.

Take a walk with me as her life is created around biblical truths and historical facts as we bring to life "Lamarra"- the woman at the well.

Review Quotes

Stigmatized, mischaracterized and misunderstood for generations; don't let those first impressions fool you! Turner will take you on an enriched cultural odyssey with one of the most misunderstood biblical characters. If asked about this character, you too might repeat what has been most rumored about her. This book is passionately written from a married woman's perspective, and the author turns everything you thought you knew upside down! She gives a 360 degree look into the culture and the life-changing encounters of a woman most noted as a "bad girl" that "woman at the well".

You will have hope again! C.R.

Christians have for many years endured the "bad press" of being boring, unimaginative and taking things too seriously. Actually, I believe Christian creativity brings a breath of fresh air to an otherwise common existence. The truth of the matter is that there are creative and imaginative minds at work in Christendom. Such creativity may be purposed toward Art, Music, Dance and Literature- both fiction and non-fiction.

I have been blessed to read the work of Pastor Theresa Turner. This is a fascinating storyline that blends fantasy with fact. It has romance without getting sickeningly sentimental, and woven within the storyline; her message of hope comes alive.

The Saints will be encouraged and the Unsaved will be curious. Her approach to the subject matter speaks to the tradition of a C.S. Lewis novel.

Enjoy the read! Apostle Kevin E. Dean
