Discover the power of belief.

When we rewind history back to Abraham’s era in the Old Testament, we encounter people who concocted false superstitions to explain the unexplainable. Powerful kings claimed to be gods, building massive pyramids to achieve immortality. Out of this mass of misunderstandings, one man emerged. The man we know today as Abraham not only claimed that one true Creator existed but also staked his entire life on this belief.

Why, thousands of years later, are we still discussing the faith of this desert nomad? One of America’s most popular Bible teachers Pastor Chuck Swindoll answers that question and many more in this compelling and insightful biography that:

Explores the historical account of Abraham found in Genesis
Offers practical and biblical life lessons on topics like trusting God’s promises, living with integrity, and dating
Will inspire and encourage you on your own spiritual journey

You won’t want to miss this remarkable biography about one of the most discussed Bible characters of all time.
