Painting

Abraham was a friend of God, according to Scripture. And we as believers are also meant to be friends of God and walk with the kind of faith that Abraham had. Using the life of Abraham as his palette, best-selling author Henry T. Blackaby shows how God shapes and sculpts men and women so that eventually they can become His friend. This workbook helps readers apply the truths of Created to Be God's Friend, understanding how God uses difficult events, traumatic circumstances, and trying life experiences to lead us into spiritual maturity.
