The Matriarchs (Book 1) In Ur of the Chaldeans, Ishcah faces the prospect of marrying Abram, a man she has never met and who renames her Sarai . Their union tests her as she grapples with uncertainty about her future and Abram's character, including his devotion to an unseen God. When Abram reveals that Adonai has directed him to leave the family, Sarai chooses to trust him. As years pass without conceiving a child, Sarai wrestles with doubt. Her skepticism that their descendants will "outnumber the stars" grows with time. It will take nothing short of a miracle to prove Adonai's faithfulness to His promise.
