By Faith Isaac (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Bibles great Faith Hall of Fame in Hebrews chapter 11 honours Abel, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham as outstanding examples of faith and identifies the acts that qualified them for this prestigious list.

Then we read, By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future (Hebrews 11:20).

Merely speaking a blessing? How does this act rate alongside Noahs building the ark or Abrahams leaving his country?

And thereby, believes Henderson, hangs a tale.

The first half of the book, By Faith Isaac, explores Abrahams faith journey and listens in to conversations between Abraham and Isaac as Abraham carefully passes on the faith lessons he has learned.

When Abraham faces his greatest faith test, the sacrifice of his son, Isaac embarks on his own faith journey. After marrying Rebekah, Isaac has to learn a new lesson of faithone which his forefathers had not had to deal with.

Whether you love the Old Testament or struggle to read it, By Faith Isaac educates as it entertains, and at times borders on being devotional.

Autorenporträt

Elsa is the daughter of Percy and Elsie Bromley, lifetime Bible teachers and missionaries with the China Inland Mission, later known as Overseas Missionary Fellowship.

Elsa's knack for writing Bible stories was caught, rather than taught. From infancy, she and her siblings learned Bible stories at the knee of their mother, a master storyteller, who told rather than read the stories.

Elsa credits her mother for her creativity. From her father, she learned the discipline of research and staying within the boundaries of known truth.

Elsa, a retired high school teacher, resides with her husband, Roy, in Calgary, Alberta.
