Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Sarai is the reason we have a story about Hagar, Sarah’s maid, in the Bible. She was supposed to be in charge of getting the wife pregnant, but somehow this didn’t happen. Hagar ends up having a child by Abram. Sarah becomes pregnant, but before she knows it, she is visited by an angel who demands she sleep with Abram before he has a child (he’s old! He’s going to die soon!). Sarah refuses. The angel then gives her a choice: You may have anyone you want as a husband—but my servant Abram will have a son. Sarah says, No way—I want Abram. And the angel says, Okay, then I will give him your brother (Abram) as a husband. And that’s how we get two wives and one husband in the Bible. God had already intended this. In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses writes: When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, do not be afraid of them.

#2 Sarai and Abram have a child. Sarai is overjoyed. But fourteen years later, when the baby is born, and the family realizes it’s a boy, they have the same reaction as when the angel told them they would have a son: They laugh.

#3 God has always intended for us to have a husband and a wife. In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses writes: When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, do not be afraid of them. The Lord your God who brought you up from the land of Egypt will help you defeat your enemies. Sarah’s childless life would test her childlike faith.

#4 God wanted to change history by giving Abraham and Sarah a child, but they couldn’t figure it out for fourteen years. God had always intended for them to have a husband and a wife. 2. What is the difference between integrity and security. How do you determine which one to chase.
