In each story, each character is placed in the actual country which they lived in at the time. In our first one we are listening to one of the stories of Abram, an important character in Christianity, Islam and Judaism and we learn that he lived in what we know today as Iraq. I hope you enjoy the story! Please leave a comment to let us know what you learnt from it.
