Synopsis

Abraham and Sarah is an intricately woven novel taken from authentic biblical and historical sources, revealing the fullness and richness of faith and love against a tapestry of ancient civilizations.Take all that can be gleaned from the classic narrative of Abraham and Sarah; add the wisdom of ancient and modern historians; intersplice the wealth of the most updated archaeological evidence; and a man and a woman of striking abilities, reality, and humanness appear.

If Abraham lived in a pagan environment, how did he become a man of great faith? Who was Sarah? Is there any logical explanation for her dazzling beauty that charmed and enticed kings when she was at the age of seventy-five and again when she was ninety?

Archaelogist Sir C. Leonard Woolley, observed that "amongst the shadowy characters of ancient history, Abraham stands out as a living personality whom we can know and with whom we can sympathize....and now, alongside this living personality, we find Sarah, perhaps the most remarkable, yet mysterious woman of all time!"Abraham and Sarah is an epic love story, an engrossing page-turner for the ages, a must read for every person of faith.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"The intelligence of both characters as well as [Sarah's] beauty are well portrayed and their encounters with God joyfully told, making the reader envy such unity with a supreme being."

--Becky Mast, Mennonite Publishing House

"J. SerVaas Williams has based this excellent story on a proper understanding of Old Testament chronology. By following the early date of the Exodus event of Israel from Egypt in 1446 B.C., the author worked backward to the patriarchal period in the Middle Bronze-1 Age (2100-1900 B.C.).  Therefore the historical connections suggested throughout the book have reliable grounds in modern discoveries from the Ancient Near East.  I heartily recommend this fascinating study of the father and mother of our Judaeo-Christian heritage."

--John Rea, Old Testament scholar, author, and
   Editor - Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia

"I know of no more tender or unusual love story than the one this author has developed...passionate, yet chaste, purified and rareified by deeply moving divine encounters."
 
--Lucinda Pryzmenski, Publisher's Review

"Abraham and Sarah" by J. SerVaas Williams is a story like few others...a deeply moving historical fiction that reads like historical fact, owing to the extensive research conducted by the author. This is a fascinating story, from beginning to end."

--Lee Ashford, reviewer for Readers Favorite
