If you enjoyed The Red Tent you will likely also enjoy Sarai, High Priestess of Ur, as this story unfolds the hidden early life of the first matriarch of Genesis and her journey towards her destiny. The Bible defines Sarah as the obedient wife of the Patriarch Abraham. The jewish priests who wrote Genesis more than a thousand years after Sarah allegedly lived defined her role for her in accordance with their beliefs. But some scholars believe that Sarah was a priestess, not only a priestess but a high priestess serving the Goddess Inanna in the temple at Ur. This novel presents Sarah as the High Priestess who celebrates the Sacred Marriage ritual with kings and pharaohs to confirm their right to rule. But an adventurous journey begins when Sarah rejects the "sacred" laws of Ur's priesthood and she must flee for her life!

"When Sarah is taken away to the Pharaoh's harem, Abraham confesses Sarah is not his sister, but his wife, and the couple, along with Hagar, the Pharaoh's headstrong daughter, are sent into exile"--

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.
