“Death came quickly and unexpectedly to Abram’s brother， Haran。”tBrennan McPherson’s ABRAM， a historical novel， takes readers on a journey where they’ll meet the Jewish patriarch Abram， his wife Sarai， and nephew Lot。 But this is not the same story you first heard in Sunday School。 As a novelist， McPherson offers intriguing， yet plausible， answers to questions of motivation and backstory about which you may have wondered。tVividly told in the points of view of Abram and Sarai， the book transport “Death came quickly and unexpectedly to Abram’s brother， Haran。”tBrennan McPherson’s ABRAM， a historical novel， takes readers on a journey where they’ll meet the Jewish patriarch Abram， his wife Sarai， and nephew Lot。 But this is not the same story you first heard in Sunday School。 As a novelist， McPherson offers intriguing， yet plausible， answers to questions of motivation and backstory about which you may have wondered。tVividly told in the points of view of Abram and Sarai， the book transported me to the ancient world of Sumer and the journey on which Abram and his family embark as they leave Ur。 This was my favorite aspect of the novel – its story world and the journey。 At first， I struggled with Abram’s actions and motivations regarding his marriage， but later as his past was revealed， I understood。 We all are marked by the trials we have endured。tABRAM easily stands alone， but McPherson has a sequel in the works for readers who love series。 He has also written several other titles in ancient history， including EDEN， which I also read and enjoyed。tI highly recommend ABRAM for readers who enjoy historical fiction set in biblical times and those who are fans of Mesu Andrews， Connilyn Cossette， and Jill Eileen Smith。tt 。。。more
