Rendition In Favor Of Books Sarah (Women of Genesis #1)

Sarai was a child of ten years, wise for her age but not yet a woman, when she first met Abram. He appeared before her in her father's house, filthy from the desert, tired and thirsty. But as the dirt of travel was washed from his body, the sight of him filled her heart. And when Abram promises Sarai to return in ten years to take her for his wife, her fate was sealed. Abram kept his promise, and Sarai kept hers they were wed, and so joined the royal house of Ur with the high priesthood of the Hebrews. So began a lifetime of great joy together, and greater peril: and with the blessing of their God, a great nation would be built around the core of their love. Bestselling author Orson Scott Card uses his fertile imagination, and uncanny insight into human nature, to tell the story of a unique woman--one who is beautiful, tough, smart, and resourceful in an era when women had little power, and are scarce in the historical record. Sarah, child of the desert, wife of Abraham, takes on vivid reality as a woman desirable to kings, a devoted wife, and a faithful follower of the God of Abraham, chosen to experience an incomparable miracle.

Evaluation About Books Sarah (Women of Genesis #1)

I really liked this book--it's similar to "The Red Tent," except not quite so harsh. The story is absorbing, and while it's obvious that Card takes some pretty big liberties, I thought it was for the most part quite believable. It's always uncomfortable for me to see revered figures such as Sarah and Abraham humanized, with less than admirable thoughts and feelings. And I don't agree with his portrayals completely, but he does make you stop and think about what these people really went

I love Orson Scott Card, but I think the constraints of working within a historical storyline hindered him from doing his best work. Some sections of this shine, and I especially liked some of his comments in the afterword. To quote: "in an era when women did not show up much in historical records. Its one of the things thats so remarkable about the book of Genesis. There arent many other writings from that period that give women so much stage time as the chapters about Abraham, Isaac, and

This was a fantastic book -- I love all of the books by Card I've read (mostly the Ender's game series). I appreciated the strength of character given to the female protagonist. She was a strong woman without seeming ridiculously out of place in the situation (time period) she was living in. One of my least favorite characters was Qira, Sarah's sister. She seemed to be a toxic kind of personality, and I have little experience with such people. But she seemed rather one-dimensional, especially by

I don't mean to sound harsh in my critique but this book left me wanting in many ways. I read the author's explainations for his rendering of the biblical Sarah, and agree that he was justified in his plot lines. In fact, the plot is not really what is wanting but rather it feels like he tried so hard to make her a believable woman, and identifiable with all women, that he forgot to make her wonderful. She has very ordinary processes of thought, sub-par persuasion, and in matters of Godly worth

{Feb. 2017 book group selection} Very interesting novel told from the perspective of Abraham's wife, Sarah. Using what little we know of her from the Bible as well as various historical sources, Orson Scott Card has created a touching and thought-provoking story of someone I think most women can admire for her strengths but also relate to because of her struggles. As usual when I read these types of books, my interest has been piqued to go back and reread the sections covered in the Bible to see

This book was really enjoyable. I loved the characters and especially loved the way that Card wrote Sarah. I felt he did an amazing job describing what she felt in regard to Hagar. It's a topic that rarely are writers (especially men) very good at addressing and I truly was happy with how he wrote her. However, I gave this one only 3 stars because I wished that he would have delved a little deeper in the relationship between Sarah and Abraham. Maybe this is because I read Rebekah first and loved

I am making the assumption here that the author did plenty of research for this book and so I'm considering the historical comments to be correct or close to correct.I REALLY like this book so far. I like the characters that Card is presenting in the books. It makes sense with what I remember of the biblical story (though I'm sure I'll reread that and consider some more). Right in the middle, I was slightly bothered by some psychology (I'm not sure what to call it) in a discussion between Abram
