Description
Author: Roger Lewis, 246 pages, paperback. Published by The Christadelphian Office in 2014.
No married couple in Scripture is given quite the same attention as Abraham and Sarah. Many aspects of their marriage are open to scrutiny, and even the most intimate facets of their life together are set out for extensive examination. All this is for good reason.
This new book will help its readers appreciate the joys and sorrows of the account of Abraham and Sarah, gaining new insights into passages that have become familiar. They were a faithful couple, who, through adversity and blessing, grew in grace until they were fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was able to perform. If we could capture but part of that faith, hope and love our own journeys to the land of promise will be filled with greater satisfaction and reward.
The book has seven appendicies (31 pages) and a five page scripture index. The subjects of the appendicies are:
- When did Terah beget Abram?
- Who was Iscah?
- What was the foundation promise?
