The Struggle for Love

The Struggle for Love: The Story of Leah is a fictionalized retelling of Leah, wife of the Old Testament patriarch. Jacob.

Leah didn't want a marriage without love. A strong and capable woman, she had determined to live a life of service as a midwife, bringing other women's children into the world, allowing her father to breach tradition and betroth her beautiful younger sister first. But that was not to be. 

Forced by her father to pose as her sister, Leah goes to Jacob's wedding bed. When Jacob awakens to find Leah instead of the beautiful Rachel, he tells Leah that he will provide for her and do what a husband must, but she will never have his love. 

Rejected by her husband and her relationship with her beloved sister broken, will Leah be able to keep her faith in the God of Abraham through the tragedies to come? Will Jacob see Leah for the woman she truly is? Will these two wives of the patriarch mend their relationship before it's too late? 

Enjoy this beautiful story of a woman overlooked by history but not by God. In Genesis 29:31 the scripture says, "When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved-" God was watching over Leah. And He's watching over you.
