A Tender Hand: Eight Women. One Good God. Endless Redemption.
Meet the women history tried to forget, but Heaven never did.
From Hagar wandering in the wilderness to Gomer's unfaithfulness, from Rahab's scarlet courage to Bathsheba's devastating sorrow, from the woman at the well to the one dragged into the dust before a crowd. Their stories may whisper of scandal, pain, and shame. But they thunder with grace.
A Tender Hand is a collection of modern, historically accurate biblical retellings that examines eight women caught in adultery throughout scripture - and the unmistakable presence of God's hand over every one of them.
Author Kearsy Hoffman brings her inquisitive mind, deep love for biblical history, and hunger to truly know God to these long-overlooked lives, asking the questions we're afraid to ask: What was a normal day like for her? Where was God in her story? And how does her story change the way we understand the gospel? Why are they listed as women to remember, what else do they have to offer.
The eight women; Hagar, Tamar, Gomer, Rahab, Bathsheba, the Samaritan Woman, the Woman Caught in Adultery, and the Bride of Christ are brought to life through vivid storytelling, biblical insight, and heartfelt author commentary. Each chapter is a complete journey: a historically grounded retelling, a biblical lesson, personal reflection, and digital study tools designed to carry you deeper into healing, sanctification, and spiritual growth.
What do all of these women have in common? You might be surprised to find out.
No matter what season you're walking through, A Tender Hand comes alongside you to:
- Show how God can deliver and redeem any circumstance
- Display the power of a truly repentant heart
- Offer hope in the midst of choosing a new beginning
- Remind you that God never abandons you - no hurt is ever wasted
- Proclaim that His love endures forever, and no one is ever too far gone
Born from Kearsy's own story of brokenness, rebellion, and miraculous transformation, this book is more than a Bible study. It is a celebration of repentance, resilience, and the eternal promise that God restores what the world discards. He sees the shattered. He rewrites the branded. He reaches into the darkest stories and weaves redemption, purpose, and joy.
He promised He would, and He hasn't forsaken us yet.
