Among the many stories that are told from the Bible, the story of
Abraham is one of the most beautiful and dear to the Hebrew and
Christian tradition. It is the story of God’s promise in which Abraham
places all of his faith: a promise that has to do with a place to live
and a long awaited son. Abraham’s story brings an understanding of
biblical exegesis to a level that children can comprehend. Recounted are
the major highlights of the story of Abraham: A long journey in
history; “leave your land”; God promises a land to Abraham; God promises
Abraham many descendants; a mysterious visit from three men; the birth
of Isaac; God tests Abraham; Abraham’s death. Finally, the author brings
the story up to the present with these words: “Isaac began a long
history marked by the blessing of God. That golden thread continues to
travel the fabric of centuries and generations until you come to Jesus
and, with him, to me, to you, to us.” Modern and stylish full-color
illustrations make the story even that much more inviting to children,
who will find it appealing and want to know more. Ages 8–12.
