Naomi Harris Rosenblatt; A biblical speaker for our modern times

After the Apple (book)

An illuminating retelling of the stories of the women of the Hebrew Bible; a prism in which we can examine our own lives.

After the Apple Book
    

Leah, Rachel, Sarah, Delilah, Jezebel…the names of these Hebrew Bible women have been familiar to us since childhood. In this remarkable book, Naomi injects new life into these characters, retelling their stories in loving detail, and bringing to them her expertise as a psychotherapist, as well as her profound biblical knowledge. Through her lens, we revisit these women – and their men – and view them with a new understanding, marveling at the very modern dilemmas and problems they confront and explore.

In this powerful blend of history, psychology, and storytelling, women today will recognize their own struggles to love, to mother, to succeed in relationships and to work their way through a complicated and challenging world.
