Abraham was repeatedly called the friend of God in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, being mentioned hundreds of times in connection with faith and righteousness. Travel with the author as he follows Abraham's journeys to and in the land of Canaan. Be there when Abraham makes leaps of faith and the author causes us to understand why Abraham came to be known as God's friend and the Father of our Faith. The author rightly points out that David, Israel's great warrior king, served God's purpose in his own generation (Acts 13:36), but Abraham has served God's purpose in every generation.
