In the great plan of God, Abraham occupies a unique position all to himself. The call that God placed on his life more than 4,000 years ago still echoes in the hearts of believers today. But who was this man whom the angel of the Lord had to should, "Abraham, Abraham", to stop his from sacrificing his son to God? How was his faith counted as the righteousness, and why was he called the friend of God? In this captivating book, Brother Swaggart takes his readers to Genesis and introduces them to Abram, whom God transformed into Abraham through revelation, covenant, and promise. Outside, in the desert night, we see this patriarch looking up, trying to count the stars, as the Lord speaks to his heart, "So shall your seed be."
