“Abraham: A Journey of Faith,” is a recent attractive and quite comprehensive booklet by Rose Publishing. As usual, the map is just right: no need to sift through too many details – we see Abraham’s journeys in standalone fashion, and the sheer distance involved, in a day without modern transportation, is immediately impressive. Since there are promises by God about Abraham’s descendants, a simplified family tree showing how the twelve tribes of Israel are descended, is also included. Several tables help the reader to remember conditional and unconditional promises to Abraham, similarities between Abraham and the disciples, parallels between Abraham and Jesus, and a timeline, as well, helps us to be accurate about the timing of events in Abraham’s life: one positive note – a number of the important aspects of Abraham’s life occur after the age of 75 – so, it seems that our elders might take heart from that interesting fact! I received a free advance copy in return for a review.
