Wealth of the Wilderness by Rebekah Joy

October 25, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

In 2019 friend Rebekah Joy and I traveled to Israel together along with 30+ other women, and that trip changed my life forever. The Wilderness of Zin was one of my favorite places we visited.

Facing Tough Decisions

January 19, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

I'm often asked, "How did you not cave to the pressure last summer when your publisher threatened to cancel your book if you didn't make their requested changes?" In short?

Because writing this one has been a journey—in so many ways. First—I wrote the majority of Colors of Truth during Dad's final year of life here on earth with dementia.

Deepening your understanding of the Bible

September 1, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

For the past four plus years, I've been blessed to study the Bible with Kristi McLelland, a professor and biblical culturalist in Nashville—and a phenomenal teacher of the Word. Kristi has dedicated her life to teaching people how to study the Bible—and how to read it through a Middle Eastern lens.
