Elisabeth

Résumé du livre

Zacharias has loved Elisabeth all his life. When negotiations are made for their marriage, the childhood friends trust that their future will be bright. But as their story unfolds in their village near Jerusalem, the life they build together is marked by both the joy of love and the sorrows of loss and longing. For as the years pass by, the steadfast couple is never blessed with the thing they desire above all: a child. Now old and beyond child-bearing years, it seems that the couple's righteous desire will never be granted-until a divine promise is made, and they learn that their fate will transcend the bounds of age and mortal comprehension. Elisabeth and Zacharias are destined to play a pivotal role in the fulfillment of ancient scripture, and they soon come to understand that God's plan is far grander than they ever dreamed.
