false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165651978m/7958.jpg 7958 8 From <I>New York Times</I> bestselling author Orson Scott Card comes the finely crafted novel of <I>Sarah</I>, about a beautiful and courageous Jewish woman who changed the course of history through her faith, wisdom, and commitment to her husband, Abraham. As a man writing from a woman's perspective, Card nevertheless shows great perspicacity. Sarah's range of emotions is credible, including her fear as she pretends to be Abraham's sister in order to fool the Egyptian pharaoh Neb-Towi-Re, and her pain as she deals with her barrenness. Later, the kindness Sarah showers on Hagar, her personal handmaid, conflicts believably with her agonizing jealousy over her decision to let Abraham father a child with Hagar. Card's research for the book results in detailed descriptions that help make it memorable, from the practice of religion and styles of dress to the accounts of desert and city life. He succeeds in offering a memorable tale for both those who are interested in biblical women as part of their faith and readers who just enjoy a good story. <I>--Cindy Crosby</I> 1466883 1999 Sarah: Women of Genesis total:3472|5:959|4:1445|3:847|2:172|1:49| 3472 13509 4399 489 7958 0765341174 9780765341174 3403 475 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165651978m/7958.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7958.Sarah_Women_of_Genesis 4 3 false Thu Jun 12 08:34:55 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 13 18:01:52 -0700 2008 more...]]> 7958 0765341174 9780765341174 3403 475 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165651978m/7958.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7958.Sarah_Women_of_Genesis 4 2 false Sat Apr 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 03 12:27:11 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 17:27:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 7958 0765341174 9780765341174 3403 475 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165651978m/7958.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7958.Sarah_Women_of_Genesis 3 1 false Tue Sep 04 17:36:30 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 17:38:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 7958 0765341174 9780765341174 3403 475 3.89 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165651978m/7958.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7958.Sarah_Women_of_Genesis 4 1 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 07:49:27 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 22:16:03 -0800 2009 I have often felt that the Bible (strictly speaking about it as a historical work, not denying the spiritual value) was fairly male-centric.
