ABRAHAM: A FIELD GUIDE TO LOVING GOD

About ABRAHAM: A FIELD GUIDE TO LOVING GOD

Often, when people hear the term “love God” they interpret it to mean something like, "read your Bible" or "pray" or more simply "attend weekend gatherings." It’s usually not clearly defined, and it's certainly not actionable. This is compounded by the fact that the English word “love” itself is so elastic in its meaning. I “love” tacos, but I also “love” my mom. What? In this audio book, author David Tieche follows his seminary professor Dr. Gerry Breshears’ lead as they examine the life of Abraham. In the ups-and-downs of his story, we discover a helpful, real-world definition of what it means to LOVE GOD. By examining four key moments Abraham’s life, we see four key ways that Abraham lived out what it means to love God.
