By Faith Isaac (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798890318039)

While studying the Bible, Elsa explored the question, "Why is Isaac in the Faith Hall of Fame merely for blessing his sons?" (Hebrews 11:20). Merely speaking a blessing?! How does this act rate alongside Noah building the ark or Abraham and Sarah in their old age believing God for a son? "And thereby," believes the author, "hangs a tale." The first half of the book, By Faith Isaac, explores Abraham's 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 faith - one which his forefathers had not had to deal with. Whether you love the Old Testament or struggle to read it, you will enjoy By Faith Isaac. It educates as it entertains, and at times borders on being devotional.
