ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Remarkable Talent Threatens to Cloud a Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prophet Nehemiah\u2019s cousin can speak several languages, keep complex accounts, write on tablets of clay, and solve mysteries. Her accomplishments catapult her into the center of the Persian court \u2013 working long hours, rubbing elbows with royalty, and becoming the queen\u2019s favorite scribe.<\/p>\n

Not bad for a woman living in a man\u2019s world: so why does Sarah feel like a failure?<\/p>\n

A devastating past has left Sarah with two conclusions: that God does not love her, and that her achievements are the measure of her worth \u2013 a measure she can never quite live up to.<\/p>\n

Darius Pasargadae is accustomed to having his way. A wealthy and admired aristocrat, the last thing he expects is a wife who scorns him.<\/p>\n

Can two such different people help one another overcome the idols that bind them?<\/p>\n
