A Tender Hand

A Tender Hand: Eight Women. One Good God. Endless Redemption.

Meet the women history tried to forget but Heaven never did.

What if the women most often remembered for their failures were actually chosen to reveal some of the greatest truths about God's redemption?

From Hagar wandering in the wilderness to Gomer's unfaithfulness, from Rahab's courageous faith to Bathsheba's devastating sorrow, from the Samaritan woman at the well to the woman caught in adultery before a crowd, their stories may begin with scandal, suffering, and shame—but they all point to the same faithful God.

A Tender Hand is a deeply researched Bible study for women and a collection of historically grounded biblical retellings that explores the lives of eight remarkable women of the Bible. Through rich storytelling, biblical history, and Scripture-centered teaching, author Kearsy Hoffman invites readers to discover how God's grace has always been greater than humanity's failures.

This unique Bible character study brings eight biblical women to life:

• Hagar
• Tamar
• Gomer
• Rahab
• Bathsheba
• The Samaritan Woman
• The Woman Caught in Adultery
• The Bride of Christ

Each chapter combines historically accurate storytelling, biblical context, personal reflection, and practical application to help you better understand Scripture while deepening your relationship with Jesus Christ. Rather than simply asking what happened, this book explores why these women mattered, where God was in their stories, and what their lives reveal about His plan of redemption.

Whether you're looking for a Christian book for women, a women of the Bible study, or encouragement for your own faith journey, A Tender Hand offers timeless biblical wisdom for every season of life.

Inside you'll discover how to:

• Understand the historical and cultural background behind some of the Bible's most misunderstood women.
• See God's redeeming hand at work through brokenness, failure, and impossible circumstances.
• Grow in biblical confidence through historically informed, Scripture-based teaching.
• Experience hope, healing, repentance, and spiritual growth through God's Word.
• Discover how every story ultimately points to Jesus Christ and His invitation to redemption.

Born from Kearsy Hoffman's own testimony of brokenness, rebellion, and God's transforming grace, A Tender Hand is more than a devotional or Bible study. It is an invitation to experience the heart of God through the lives of women He never abandoned.

Their stories remind us that no past is too broken, no heart is too far gone, and no life is beyond the reach of God's mercy.

If you enjoy Bible studies for women, Christian nonfiction, biblical history, Bible character studies, and books by authors who encourage a deeper understanding of Scripture, A Tender Hand will inspire you to see God's redemptive story in an entirely new way.

Because God's tender hand has always been reaching toward His people—and it is reaching for you today.
