Sarai

Wives of the Patriarchs, Book 1

De: Jill Eileen Smith

Narrado por: Vanessa Daniels

Sarai, the last child of her aged father, is beautiful, spoiled, and used to getting her own way. Even as a young girl, she is aware of the way men look at her, including her half brother Abram. When Abram finally requests Sarai's hand, she asks one thing—that he promise never to take another wife as long as she lives. Even her father thinks the demand is restrictive and agrees to the union only if Sarai makes a promise in return—to give Abram a son and heir. Certain she can easily do that, Sarai agrees.

But as the years stretch on and Sarai's womb remains empty, she becomes desperate to fulfill her end of the bargain—lest Abram decide that he will not fulfill his. To what lengths will Sarai go in her quest to bear a son? And how long will Abram's patience last?

Jill Eileen Smith thrilled listeners with The Wives of King David series. Now she brings to life the strong and celebrated wives of the patriarchs, beginning with the beautiful and inscrutable Sarai.

Great story of the journey of Sarai.

Loved this creative, true to scripture, story of faith, sin, and forgiveness. So many details to keep the story thrilling.
Great job Jill!

Beautiful love and faith

Once again I thank GOD for Jill Eileen Smith for wonderful gift of writing that G-D has given her..Love the well out line to the speaker thank you your beautiful voice,thank you and G-D bless you.For well written story.

What excellent incite on the emotion of Sarai

This book is a real eye opener. I had never put myself in her shoes when Abram said she was her sister not his wife, not once, but twice. Abraham is in the hall of fame of the faith. And yet he saved his own skin by denying his wife. This is an excellent book. Thanks for writing it.

Excellent and well written

Excellent ability to weave a story and make come to life. I learned so much by listening to this real life story. Thank you.

Poor pronunciation

The narrator should have asked how to pronounce words. She called the front of a boat “bow” by pronouncing it as the bow you put on a gift. Also the “overseer” is pronouncing over-seer not overser.

The mispronunciations really disrupted the story for me.
