Vanessa Ochs retells well known stories of Biblical women in terms that will inspire women today. Beginning with Eve, she adds a reflection on the lesson each story has to offer, then offers a ritual for each.
In this book the author takes an original look at some of the best-known narratives in the Bible from the view-point of women.
This biblical story tells of the elderly Sarah who laughs in delight when she overhears three strangers tell her husband Abraham that he will soon become a father. When a son is born to her the following year she names him Isaac, which means laughter, and the world rejoices with her.
The elderly Sarah laughs in delight when she overhears three strangers tell her husband Abraham that he will soon become a father, so when a son is born to her a year later, she names him Isaac, which means "laughter." Simultaneous.
Retells, in simple text, the Bible story of God's promise of a child to Abraham and Sarah, discusses its application to modern life, and emphasizes that nothing is too difficult for God.
Poetry. SARAH LAUGHED is the second collaboration between poet Judith Goldhaber and artist Gerson Goldhaber, a husband-and-wife team from Berkeley, California. Following the formal model of their previous work, SONNETS FROM AESOP, which won the Independent Publishers Book Award, Judith Goldhaber imbues familiar Biblical folklore with equal parts humor and wisdom. Gerson's delightfully childlike illustrations accompany the poetry, rendering the work a storybook of sorts, open to young and old alike. "In the hands of Petrarch and Shakespeare, the sonnet became associated with the inner paradoxes of erotic psychology. Like Pushkin and Vikram Seth, Judith Goldhaber has adapted the sonnet to the paradoxes of social narrative as well" -- Peter Dale Scott. "The poetry and illustrations work their magic together, delighting the eye and beckoning the mind to wonder" -- Daniel Matt.
From Eve's rebellious taste of wisdom to the righteous anger of Job's wife, Judaic scholar Vanessa Ochs' vivid collection of stories breathes new life into biblical matriarchs. Intimate, familiar, and wise, the heroines in "Sarah Laughed" are revealed to be inspiring role models for women today. 0-07-140290-X$24.95 / McGraw Hill Professional
