Abram: The Early Years of Abram, Sarai, and Lot (The Fall of Man #4) Reviews

  “Death came quickly and unexpectedly to Abram’s brother, Haran.”
  
  Brennan 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.
  
  Vividly 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.
  
  ABRAM 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.
  
  I 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.

  This book was an excellent telling of the story of Abram and Sarai and Lot and the years before the promise of a child given to them by God , Himself. I really enjoyed reading it.

  Abram review
  
  Excellent book novel of “what if” scenario about Abram, Sarai, his beautiful half sister and wife, and Lot, his nephew and what their daily lives might have been like. It ends in Egypt and Sarai’s marriage to Pharaoh Djoser. Very interesting read.

  Good read
  
  Reading fictional Bible based books has helped give me a better understanding of the Bible. Mr. McPherson does a good job bringing the characters to life.

  Had to put this into the DNF stack. After three books in the series, I decided to give up abusing my eyes and clogging my brain.

  Good fictional account
  
  I like this book and the fictional account of Abram and his struggles that could’ve happened. Out the entire series this is probably my favorite so far!
