Abrahams Journey PDF Download

What would you do if God spoke to you and gave you an astonishing promise - along with a radical command - and then kept silent for 40 years? Such was the case of Abraham ... Living in a pagan country as a member of a pagan family, with no knowledge of God, one day Abram has a stunning encounter with God, who tells him: "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great..." And then there is silence ... for 40 years. But because of this encounter, Abram makes radical decisions, abandons his homeland and takes his barren wife and household on a 600-mile journey. No wonder the Bible says that, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." In When God Is Silent, Patrick masterfully intertwines historical facts and biblical records with his fictional account of what might have happened behind the scenes. We travel the long, arduous trip to Canaan with Abram and have an inside look at his complicated family dynamic - all while in the midst of a spiritual struggle because God's encounters with him are few and far between - until finally, he and Sarah joyfully experience the fruit of their faith.
