A wounded widow, a professional prostitute, an indomitable immigrant, a bathing beauty, a terrified teenager-

Harlots and Heroines: The Midwives of the Messiah

Each woman in the genealogy of Jesus - Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary - faced insurmountable odds that would have disqualified her from most jobs in many churches. Yet emotional abuse, prostitution, murder, death, lies, widowhood, poverty and an out of wedlock pregnancy are scars that God redeems and transforms into glory on the pathway to the Incarnation - the birth of our Messiah. Where we might see darkness God reveals His faithful love. He majestically intervened into the lives of these women to ensure that our Messiah would come at precisely the right moment and into the exact family His Father had prepared. What seems to disqualify them from the genealogy of Jesus actually becomes the source of great hope for broken people.

Harlots and Heroines, The Midwives of the Messiah is a book about our spiritual mothers. They are waiting for us in heaven and as they wait, they call back, “Dear Sons and Daughters, study our lives and you will see that God is sovereign and you can trust Him, too.”

MARKINC's initial goal was to develop a resource that offers help and hope to these returning heroes. We quickly realized that preparing yourself and your family relationships for war-time separation greatly impacts the coming home from war transition.

Each of three interviews addresses a different aspect of war-time stresses: War and the Family, The Demons of War, and War and Marriage. The purpose of this faith-based resource series is to share the personal stories of individuals and families in the context of deployment; how they prepared for deployment, how they protected or rebuilt their marriage during deployment; how they deal with the recurring demons of war and how they transitioned back into their families after war.

These interviews are practical, transparent and moving reflections from career and non-career military personnel. Some of the conversations may be difficult to listen to but our goal is to represent several different levels of military commitment and life. We hope this three-part series will be a valuable resource that offers help and hope to our military personnel and their families who have sacrificed so much for us.

Dr. Chuck Betters often says that the death of his sixteen-year-old son, Mark, "unbolted us from our love affair with this world." MARK INC Ministries is one of the products of that "unbolting" and features the preaching and teaching of Dr. Betters. MARK INC is an acronym for "Making Abundant Riches Known in the Name of Christ." MARK INC Ministries partners with pastors and church leaders by searching for new ways of sharing not only the good news of salvation but the practical scriptural messages of how God expects us to respond to His great compassion and love.

Listeners often express thanks for the bold preaching of Dr. Betters and how God has taught them specific ways to respond to difficult circumstances and to glorify God in the midst of deep pain. Pastors and laymen frequently express appreciation for the scriptural encouragement they receive that helps them to courageously labor in difficult ministries.

It is the prayer of Dr. Chuck Betters and his wife and partner in ministry, Sharon, that MARK INC Ministries will provide scriptural encouragement to you as you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
