Abe (working title) – Historical Fiction for Young Adults
A boy in hiding. A jealous king. A truth that could change everything.
Abe, more famously known as Father Abraham, lives an extra-ordinary early life in the land between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates called Mesopotamia. Growing from quiet shepherd boy with father issues, to great spiritual leader of world renouned ancient texts; Abe’s journey is colourful, remarkable and thought provoking. What makes him a great spiritual leader?
Every significant leader faces an arch-enemy. A sign in the heavens interpreted by magicians, shows the evil, jealous king Ni**od that Abe is destined to lead many people - he seeks to s***f out his infant life before it can begin.
Abe lives hidden in a cave with a surrogate father and mother, where he meets the beautiful Sarai.
Age 12 Abram is sent northward to Grandfather guardian Noah’s settlement in Kish. Receiving wise tutelage and becoming a man, Abe becomes a successful shepherd of herds.
Encountering God personally and powerfully, Abe experiences a Spiritual Father’s love through God and through Noah’s healing care - his faith grows strong. Terah, his birth father, a high priest for magic minded Ni**od; sells and worships the idol gods of his own hands in the city of Ur.
A tall tower was being built by Ni**od and the people of Ur, which reaches up to heaven in rebellion of God, who they believe flooded the world out of malice. The evil king hears whispers that Abram, the son of Terah still lives...
Pastoral life with Noah, Shem and Abe contrasts with the enslaved magical city life in Ur, where all his birth family live.
Time arrives for Abe to marry his sweetheart bride, in a lavish city wedding. Duty requires him to dwell in his father’s house in Ur of the Chaldees where he was born. Meantimes, in Kish village, dear Grandfather Noah dies and all mourn and Abe avoids the dangerous Ni**od.
Ni**od, power crazy; transforms into a giant by dark magic under the tower complex. He must be stronger than any rival. He uses Grandfather Adam's miraculous animal skin covering God bestowed at the beginning of time. As a result, the people and Ni**od are judged by Yah, who is the one true God.
Terrible arguments break out above ground. Where unity reigned; conflict erupts.
Earth shakes, clouds grow dark, fire burns, people are in complete confusion - workers scattered and flee in fear.
Abe shows the people who remain in the city that Ni**od is a power grabbing jealous Lier - hey were enslaved by the work at the tower, they need to turn back to Yah.
In a righteous rage, Abe smashes the idols of wood and stone at his father, Terah’s house. Imprisoned and sentenced by Ni**od to death by fire, who clings on to power.
Abe cries out to God from the dank prison and fellow prisoners learn about God and turn back to pray and worship Yah, instead of the magic of the idol gods.
Trial day, the fire is lit. Yet the God of Abraham miraculously saves Abe, in front of those who remain in the city. Haran, Abe’s brother is killed by the heat from the fire.
Ni**od is enraged but retreats, will the people follow me? He thinks.
Terah, Abe’s father, in fear of Ni**od, gathers family, animals and belongings and flee northward. Abe is glad to flee the magic ridden city. Magical or satanic?
Shem rescues grandfather Adam's sacred animal skin garment from Ni**od and steals it away to the newly established city of Salem - a safe city where God chooses to dwell.
Framed by the older Abraham who recounts these events to his son Isaac, Abe is a story of courage, conviction, and calling. Tracing the transformation of an exiled child into a great spiritual man set apart—one whose unwavering, learnt and experiential faith challenges the might of kings and lays the foundation for a legacy that will endure for generations
