Half Hours in Bible Lands, Volume 2

Beneath a sky blazing with stars, Abram and Sarai worship the God their neighbors cannot see. Then famine drives them from Canaan—and fear leads Abram to ask his wife for a dangerous disguise.

In these late-nineteenth-century sketches, P. C. Headley looks back to the tents, altars, and shifting kingdoms of the biblical patriarchs. Abram, a wealthy herdsman called from his homeland to an unknown inheritance, must hold fast to faith while protecting his household in a perilous world. At Egypt’s court, his attempt to shield Sarai from a ruler’s power entangles them both in a peril of his own making. Headley follows the strains of family loyalty, human frailty, and divine promise as the story of a people begins with one wandering couple. When fear shapes Abram’s choice, can faith still guide what follows?
