Abigail

About the Book:

Mesu Andrews weaves a compelling tale of faith, resilience, and redemption in ABIGAIL: I Will Praise the Lord, the prequel of her October 1, 2024 release, BRAVE: the Story of Ahinoam.

Set against the backdrop of Judah’s wilderness, Abigail faces a cruel stepmother who forces her marriage to the brutal Nabal of Carmel. Through Abigail’s struggles, she maintains a steadfast faith and encourages the other oppressed women of Nabal’s household with a clever worship game. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she meets David, the future king of Israel, and saves the lives of all those on her husband’s estate. David admires Nabal’s wife, a woman of beauty and intelligence, not realizing that her boldness was cultivated through years of worshiping away her fear and pain.

When Abigail’s husband realizes that his rudeness toward David nearly cost him everything, he falls deathly ill and dies ten days later. Under the Law of Moses, Abigail must marry Nabal’s closest relative. However, on the same day her kinsman redeemer arrives, David ben Jesse sends his messengers with a proposal to marry. Might her worship game, which has strengthened her inner being for years, now become a life of worship with the man after God’s own heart?

Walk with Abigail on a journey of profound courage in the face of overwhelming adversity and explore the transformative power of faith and worship no matter your life circumstance.
