Sarina


Book Description

It all started as a dream. A wave of gigantic proportions began to grow into heights that shadowed way above her head. She could even feel the mist from the water's edge as it began to break over her. As she drew in her breath to survive the crash of water, it was over. She never felt the wave hit, and she was left on the side of a beach with only one question in her mind: Where are all the children? Sarina is a young woman about twenty-six years old who lived in Israel around two thousand years ago. Her dreams about water had been with her for several years, but this particular dream that included children had a new twist. Why would she be so concerned about children? She meets Stephen and Jesus, two men from Nazareth who are carpenters, also about her age, and they begin a new friendship. Their relationships go through trials of loyalty, trust, and faith as they spend time together down by the Jordan River. As time passes, Sarina is faced with witnessing the truth about Jesus and who he claims to be. She begins to hear stories about him, stories of healing and other miracles. Torn between whether to believe he is just her friend from Nazareth or the Messiah he claims to be, she is not able to fully trust him. Watching him suffering through his trials and temptations proves to be more than she can handle. Until a miracle happens! We've always been told that dreams are manifestations of our subconscious mind trying to tell us something. After many years, Sarina found out that it was a very true statement.
