Find out what matters to Jesus. Want to know what in the world God is doing? Ponder the words and life of Jesus.

It should not surprise us when we see God use the common things of life–snow, streetlights, a rented suit, a mop–to accomplish the incredible. But it should inspire us. From the depths of near obscurity at the turn of the last century, a young African American man rose to fame through those ordinary things–listening intently out in the snow as a child to beautiful music in an elegant hall, listening to his grandfather sing the old slave songs as he lit the streetlamps, sweating through a rented suit during an audition for a musical scholarship, a chance meeting with a musical legend as he was mopping the halls of his school. Through the seemingly insignificant pieces of life, God led (more…)

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.
