From the Inside Flap

ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB, Servants and Prophets of God, is intended to sensitize readers to knowledge they had of the living God and His plans and purposes.

The Lord God's work and glory had been revealed previously to Enoch and Noah before Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and to Moses and Joshua after them, that is "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39)

Knowledge of God's work is of great significance for the world's people today.

The central theme of this book is that all the families of the earth have been blessed in the past, are currently being blessed, and will continue to be blessed through the Lord's covenant people, the house of Israel, in the future.

These blessings will continue as the house fo Israel in particular, and the people of the world in general, do His work and will strive to walk uprightly before Him and become perfect.

The book covers events in the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and their contemporaries from the birth of Abram in Ur to the death of Jacob in Egypt. Jacob was buried in Canaan alongside his father Isaac, and his grandfather Abraham, in the cave of Mach-pelah some 307 years later. With the help pf Richard Taylor, long term friend, a Topical Guide is included.

This review is from: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: Servants and Prophets of God (Hardcover)

This is a unique treatment of Old Testament material. The author uses cannonized scripture and other sources to piece the fragments of the story together for a broader understanding for the reader. The author uses great skill to inject bridging comments and let the original manuscripts speak for themselves. The reader is provided with the information and free to connect the dots as they feel appropriate.
