The Call

The story of Abraham's famous Call from God jumps from the pages of the Bible in an action-packed Biblical fiction novel that nevertheless remains stridently faithful to the Biblical text. The people, places and events of the story come to life like never before.Abram is not like other Sumerians. He questions the prevailing religion of his day. When his beautiful wife, Sarai, proves unable to have children, Abram's father Terah calls it a curse from the gods for Abram's unbelief. Urged to go to the temple of the moon-god, Abram agonizes over desperate choices: divorce Sarai, worship the pagan gods, or give up on his hopes for a family and a name in the world. Suddenly, the God of the "old stories" appears to him with a perplexing message: leave your family and go to a land I will show you.Terah and Sarai think Abram's lost his mind as he drags them into the wilderness to follow his God's quest. But none of them can imagine what's in store for them - betrayal, isolation, bandits, and more. And the ultimate question: whether Abram's God will prove himself real, at the end of a long and dangerous road.
