Rescued Heart: The Story of Sarah
How did an idol-worshipping woman become the mother of millions?
Ishcah, daughter of Haran, has waited thirty-nine years to wed her betrothed, a man she has never met. He is Abram, the son of Terah and a kinsman. Will they have anything in common? Will she be able to submit to him as a wife should?
And what of his Adonai, a God no one in Ur worships? How can she walk away from the gods she has worshipped all her life? Will they punish her for abandoning them?
The Bible gives us a partial picture of Abraham and the woman who became Sarah, the first matriarch of the Jewish people. Based on the Scripture and another ancient manuscript, Rescued Heart is a fuller portrait of Sarah and Abraham—their lives, their love, and the journey to their long-awaited destiny.

“Biblically sound and historically rich, Rescued Heart digs into unanswered questions about Abraham and Sarah’s story. Angela Hunt drew me into Sarah’s joy with Adonai’s promise of a son. Through Hunt’s tapestry of expertly woven words, I felt Sarah’s repeated disappointments, searched my frustrations, and realized only Adonai could rescue Sarah’s heart and mine.”
Mesu Andrews, bestselling and Christy Award–winning author
“With the captivating world-building and fascinating detail that we have come to expect from veteran author Angela Hunt, Rescued Heart plunges the reader into the ancient world of the Old Testament. Drawing imaginative details from a Jewish source called the Book of Jasher, the reader is treated to a unique look at Abraham and Sarah’s early lives. Once the novel arrives at the retelling of the biblical narrative, this familiar story gains fresh emotional depth, presenting us with an evocative depiction of a woman’s struggle with disappointment that, in the end, will leave you feeling like you drank a tall glass of grace.”
