description: Like all women Hannah's roles in her life changed: child maiden wife mother and servant. But one thing remained constant: her desire to be in the presence of God. Hannah which means grace in Hebrew journeys through a life filled with trauma: a childhood incident in a village by the Jordan River; the sacrificial offering of a beloved friend; being accosted at the Tabernacle in Shiloh by one of the priest's sons; marriage to a man she does not know; barrenness. Through all of thisand moreHannah's faith is tested against the backdrop of Israel a nation mired in profanation. What exactly is God calling Hannah to do? Will Hannah's love for God remain strong?
