Summary:
"A splendid exploration of faith against great odds and love that endures years of disappointment.Abraham and Sarah is a masterful historical drama from the moment that Abraham strides into the pagan temple to rescue Sarah. The couple set out in searchof the blessings God had promised: abundant fertile land and decedents more plentiful than the stars.But years of wandering bring the couple to Egypt where once again Abraham convinces Sarah that as sister and brother surely they will pass safely through the territory. But Pharaoh takes Sarah into his harem where she befriends Pharaoh's daughter, Hagar. Together the three are ordered to leave.Years of barrenness have embittered Sarah and she hatches a plan: Hagar must become the vessel for the childGod has promised. Ishmael is born to Hagar and so is jealousy born in Sarah's heart. But God had a plan and He was right all along. This miracle unfolds with Historical authenticity leaving the reader with a better understanding of the ancient worldand the life-changing faith of Abraham and Sarah"--
