FEW men have had greater impact on the world's religions. Revered by Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike, Abraham has been described as "a giant in Scripture" and as "a towering example of faith." The Bible calls him "the father of all those having faith." - ROMANS 4:11.
Why is Abraham so highly regarded? For one thing, Abraham has the distinction of being the only person whom the Bible directly refers to as God's friend-and three times at that! - 2 CHRONICLES 20:7; ISAIAH 41:8; JAMES 2:23.
In other ways, however, Abraham was an ordinary person like us. He faced many of the same struggles that we do- and he met them successfully. Would you like to know how he did so? Consider what the Bible reveals about this remarkable man.
