"My eyes were opened to text after text."

'Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith. He was even called the friend of God.' (James 2.23)

Abraham is the only character in the Bible to be described as 'the friend of God'. This comprehensive study by John Lennox explores why.

Abraham is unquestionably one of the most outstanding and influential figures in world history. He had no political or military achievements, and he left no literary remains, yet today billions of people—more than half of the world's population—claim him as their spiritual father.

Throughout the Bible, Abraham is seen as a pivotal figure in God's plan of salvation. In this richly detailed account of his life and times, John Lennox helps us to see through mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses, to better appreciate all that Abraham stands for as a model of faith today.

An outstanding indepth book by an outstanding author

Can't say anything but good about this book. John Lennox is such a treasure as a Christian speaker and apologist, and this book continues to build on that tradition of excellence. Insightful into the life and history of Abraham in the Bible, with the quick humor of the author that makes him so easy and enjoyable to understand on deeper thoughts and wisdom. I highly recommend it!

Worth listening

This book offers a splendid, clear, and crisp narration that captivates the reader. An absolutely fantastic read!

A beautiful way to experience Abraham all over again!

John Lennox does a great job thinking through the narrative story of Abraham and God’s plan for him and the world. If you are a fan of Lennox’s work and the Word of God, this will not disappoint. Also, it is great that it is his voice you hear narrating.

What an epic account of Abraham

As a husband, father and Christian I really enjoyed this book. The flawed people the creator uses and struggles to trust in the author of life and his plans for them.

Great Voice of Wisdom

Lennox is a knowledgeably wise biblical scholar. Though he is considered more Mathematician, his love for God’s Word and his scholarly care to detail brings the story of Abraham to life in a new and inviting way.
