Summary
Two Old Testament women want to be loved by their shared husband - and to bear children. To what lengths will they go to get what they want most, and will either find her heart's desire?
Hannah and her husband, Elkanah, share a deep and abiding love, for each other, for their God, and for his tabernacle at Shiloh. Greatly disturbed by the corruption of the priests, they long for restoration and pray for a deliverer. But nothing changes as the years pass. Years that also reveal Hannah to be barren.
Pressured by his family to take another wife, Elkanah marries Peninnah, who quickly begins to bear children. Disgraced and taunted by her husband's new wife, Hannah turns again to prayers that seem doomed to go unanswered. Do her devotion and kindness in the face of Peninnah's cruelty count for nothing? Why does God remain silent and indifferent to her pleas?
Travel back to the dusty streets of Shiloh with an expert guide as Jill Eileen Smith brings to life a beloved story of hope, patience, and deliverance that shows that even the most broken of relationships can be restored.

God's timing - our patience
Loved the character of Hannah brought vividly to life - what a gracious woman we can learn so much from.

A beautiful story
I loved the background J.E. Smith imagined for the story of Hannah. It truly brings the characters of Elkanah and Peninah to life as well as helps you to understand the culture better. Very interesting and inspiring. The narrator also did a great job.

Beautiful story
I have always wondered how Hannah coped with being childless and dealing with a cantankerous co-wife. Thank you for bringing her story to life, I will definitely listen to this again.
