Abraham: One Nomad's Amazing Journey of Faith Tapa dura - 2014

Descripción de la solapa

I admire people who are authentic and transparent, and i enjoy biographies that paint historical figures as they really were.Put those two qualities together in a single binding, and I won't be able to put it down. Don't give me the whitewashed version of a person's life. I want the subject painted as he or she was, "pimples, warts, and everything."That's the way the Bible portrays all of its characters--especially the extraordinary life of Abraham. Scripture doesn't presume to tell fairy tales. It's a book about real life, showing real people going through real experiences in a real world. It tells us the unvarnished truth about its heroes, even when that truth proves to be uncomfortable or unappealing. When you see lives portrayed in such authenticity, you get the whole story--no phony-baloney mannequins, no airbrushed models.That's what I attempted to capture in this biography of Abraham. You'll meet a man who got up after he stumbled. You'll watch a man who put one foot in front of another, even when he couldn't see what God was doing or where He was leading. You'll experience the struggles of a real-life man who dared to place the destiny of his entire life in his Creator's hands.I think you'll be profoundly inspired by the courageous trust of this ancient nomad.I was.--"Chuck Swindoll"""""
