Genesis: The Life of Abraham - Bible Study Book

Genesis: The Life of Abraham Bible Study Book offers a six-session study that will equip you and/or your group members to discern between truth and error, light and darkness, and assurance and doubt.

This study walks in the paths and footsteps of Abraham, an imperfect man used by God in mighty ways despite his obvious flaws. Abraham is known as the father of Israel. What is not always known, however, is the twisted and disorienting route required to get him where God needed him to be.

Genesis is a foundational educational experience for both believers and non-believers alike. And Abraham, as much as any person in biblical account or history, encounters experiences that any of us might find familiar: God’s call, waiting on God, doubt, decision-making under duress, confronting wickedness, and seeing first-hand how God keeps His promises to us.
