Out of a sinful and pagan world, God called Abraham to leave everything and everyone he knew and travel to a land he had never seen. Abraham stepped out in faith, yet he hesitated and delayed.

This review is from: Men of Character: Abraham: Holding Fast to the Will of God (Paperback)

"Abraham" is another installment in Gene Getz' Men of Character series on various male biblical figures. There are 12 chapters with the following titles:

1. God's Great Redemptive Plan

2. Following God Fully

3. Abraham's Plan "Goes South"

4. A Skeleton in the Closet

5. A Disastrous Decision

6. A Bout With Fear

7. A Pure Motive But a Wrong Method

8. Thirteen Silent Years (one of my favorite chapters)

9. Out of the Darkness (another good chapter)

10. Sarah's Most Embarrasing Moment

11. Forgiven - But Facing the Consequences

12. The Final Exam

The book is easy to read and is excellent for the layperson or pastor who is looking for material on Abraham to preach on.

Read, enjoy, and be encouraged to learn from Abrham's successes and failures. Highly recommended.

I purchased this book as an additional resource for the Bible study class I'm taking this spring. It is factual and thought provoking. It adds much to the study and is actually set up to serve as a Bible study resource. I will buy more of this writer.
