In a remarkable commentary on the life of Abraham from the book of Genesis, Witness Lee presents Abraham as a genuine man, not unlike us all, fallen, but called by God. Like him, we have seen “the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” and have been attracted to follow Him. Like him, we must learn the lessons of faith through trials, testing, and failure, in order to enter into the promises and blessings of God. Abraham—Called by God, taken from the Life-study of Genesis, presents a unique and vital view of the father of our faith.
