Sarah's Laughter

By Rebecca D. Bruner

Description:

A desperate husband, a stunning wife, a perilous promise: "Please tell everyone that you are my sister."
Abram bowed low before Pharaoh's throne. "We humbly beg your Eminence to show the hospitality of Egypt to us poor shepherds."
"And what do you offer me in return?" the king demanded.
"Simply name what you desire, and it will be yours."
"I hear that there is a woman among your people who has the face of a goddess. Bring her forward."
My whole body was quaking as Abram led me from the shadows to the Pharaoh.
"Remember your promise, my sister," he whispered. "My life surely depends upon it."
My heart was in my throat, I wanted to scream and run. I looked back at my husband, my eyes pleading that he relent and tell Pharaoh the truth, but he would not look me in the face.

Book Takeaway:

I want women to recognize that, no matter how they may have been devalued, dismissed, or abandoned by those who should have cared for them, they, like Sarah, are profoundly precious in the sight of God. Even when all hope seems lost, He will come to the rescue.

Why the author wrote this book:

I believe that deep in her soul every woman carries the question, "Am I worth fighting for?" Tragically, Sarah's husband answered that question with a resounding, "No." But when no one else would fight for Sarah, God fought for her. He came to her rescue when her own husband had abandoned her.
