Overview

In this biography of the great patriarch, F. B. Meyer focuses on the growth of Abraham’s faith through the tragedies and triumphs of his life. Although his trust in God was weak and faltering when he left his father’s homeland, Abraham learned to rely on God rather than himself—and therein lies his greatness. Meyer reconstructs Abraham’s life with careful attention to archaeological discoveries and cultural customs—without losing sight of spiritual principles for readers. The result is a detailed portrait of one of the greatest characters in the Bible—a devotional biography for those who are “by faith, children of Abraham.”
