Polygamy

In each of these short fictional stories, you'll meet a Christian (or soon-to-be Christian) family that finds themselves in a unique predicament, yet one which Scripture directly addresses. In each of their cases, practical obedience to clear teaching in Scripture results in a family with more than one wife. From a desperate European widow, to a dutiful African brother, to an arrogant bachelor in Delhi, follow the redemption stories of different kinds of people from all over the world, each finding peace with God through Jesus Christ by obeying His Word with regard to both their souls and their families. Several genres are explored, including drama, romance, crime, suspense, and comedy. Characters like a cop looking for vengeance and a beautiful, mysterious neighbor will keep you wondering what's going to happen next. You'll even find yourself in a variety of cultures, such as Greece, Japan, Kenya, and the Philippines. Tears and laughter are guaranteed as you read these stories full of love, forgiveness, and battles for truth.

For the majority of human history, throughout all the world's inhabited continents, families with more than one wife and families with one wife only were morally equal in the eyes of any given society. It is only since the rise of the Greco-Roman empire and subsequent Catholic Church that humans have even sought to differentiate between the two, let alone criminalize one or the other. The modern phenomenon of the Mormon cult has successfully synonymized polygamy with sexual deviancy in the eyes of the Western Church, but God's people-both Old Covenant and New-have embraced the benefits of multi-wife households for thousands of years, long before Mormonism ever existed. Written from a Biblical Christian worldview, these stories demonstrate how easily-and naturally-practical obedience to the Scriptures can lead to multiple wives in one home.
