This historical Bible-based fiction is by Illumination International Book Award gold-medal winner, Robin Weidner, bestselling author of Secure in Heart, Grace Calls: Spiritual recovery after abandonment, addiction or abuse, and Eve's Song. "For now, we can only see a dim and blurry picture of things, as when we stare into polished metal. I realize that everything I know is only part of the big picture." 1 Corinthians 13:12 (The Voice) We primarily hear the story of Old Testament women through the voices of men. What if a woman were to tell her story? And what if re-considering these stories could fill us with inspiration and hope? You may know Sarah of the Old Testament as Abraham's wife, the woman who laughed and the barren woman who bore a child in her old age. But how might she have processed what Jewish scholars call the Akedah, the binding of Isaac on Moriah? Infused with scripture, poetry and Jewish midrash, Sarah's Song invites you along on a wilderness journey of turmoil, healing and surrender to a God who loves unconditionally. You'll gain faith from this blended family's story and insights into healing trauma, processing painful memories and engaging spiritual warfare. At the end, you may find yourself asking...was that her story alone, or is it also mine, or so one we cannot tell the difference? "The wait is over I always wanted to sit with Sarah and hear her side of the story when God called Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah. Robin with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit takes us on a journey with Sarah into the heart of God. Walking with Robin as a reader as she wrote this divine work, I had a first-hand view of seeing the gentleness of our Holy God as he met Sarah where she was at, unraveling her doubts, fear and insecurities and leading her to wisdom, peace and confidence. This book is a divine work, revealing the heart of God " - Dr. Pam George, professor, global speaker, educator and former missionary "In the tradition of a healthy Jewish midrash, Robin imaginatively and faithfully enters the story of Sarah in this compelling and historically credible fiction. This is a fine example of how to live within God's story by exploring Sarah's faith and relationships.Within the frame of Scripture, Robin authentically represents the culture of the Ancient Near East, inviting us to sit with Sarah, learn from her, and explore our own walk with God." -John Mark Hicks, Ph.D., Author and Professor of Theology, Lipscomb University.
