Description: "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 search of 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 child God 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 world  and the life-changing faith of Abraham and Sarah"--
