Abraham: The Man Who Was Faithful to God

By: Clive Johnson

Narrated by: Clive Johnson

Abraham, the father of a great nation, demonstrates his love for God through many adventures. Travel with him, as he leads his family and his people, even to the point of standing ready to give up the life of his own son to honor God. Recall the fate that awaits the wife of Lot, Abraham’s nephew, as she looks back to see her beloved city of Sodom burned to cinders. Marvel, as Abraham’s wide Sarah finally bears a child, and spare a tear for her slave girl Hagar, as she flees in terror from her tormenting mistress.

This delightful retelling of the classic bible tale is told in the spirit of the countless storytellers who have enthralled audiences young and old throughout the centuries.

This tale is one of the series Bible Stories Shorts and is also available with the collected other stories as part of Tales of Old, Stories from The Old Testament.

Critic reviews

"The tales from the Old Testament are as familiar and comfortable as pot roast for Sunday dinner, yet these are new and fresh in lively retellings by Clive Johnson. Using great storytelling techniques and modern language, Johnson makes these tales nearly dance off the pages." (San Francisco Book Review)

"...Accessible, enlightening pieces that lend to read-aloud drama, bringing to life not just the tales but their underlying lessons. These stories don't just lend to read-aloud, but beg to be performed." (Midwest Book Review)

"A read-aloud compilation for children and adults...encouraging a revival of the oral tradition of storytelling." (BlueInk Review)
