Fire and Blade

The Wars of Abraham the Patriarch

How did Abraham really become Father of Faith?

Nearly everyone has heard the story of the man God told to sacrifice his son, derived either from some biblical or extra-biblical source, and retold in myriad ways with each passing generation. Their story is literally the stuff of legends, from their epic struggles of faith to their eventual triumph on Mount Moriah. Moreover, every culture the world over incorporates some version of the great patriarch providing his only begotten son, offering him up for the sake of the clan's ultimate survival. But what does tradition have to say about how Abraham really became the Father of Faith?

Dawn of Time

Fire and Blade

Trial by Fury

Unfortunately, except for the sparse passages in Genesis, tradition has very little to say. But what really did happen to him? Did God simply leave him to a life of aimless searching? And why does there seem to be so little written about the rest of his life?

Of course, we all know something about the tragic story of his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. But that still never seems to explain the inevitable question: Why did God choose one brother instead of the other? The obvious answer has always been that Isaac must have been the more faithful of the two, but as to the reason for this, the canonical record does not reveal.

But what if there was another source of biblical truth not ordinarily found amongst the traditional 66 books of the Bible? And what if this record was able to provide some of the missing pieces to the Genesis story? Astonishingly enough, there really is a body of ancient wisdom known as "apocryphal" literature, which provides exactly the links that we are seeking. Finally, we can discover for ourselves exactly how God protected Abraham and Sarah during every phase of their lives, from rescuing Abram from the furnace of Nimrod, to God's guidance in leading him to offer up Isaac.

Now, within the pages of a unique book, you'll finally discover the answers to questions you've wondered about your whole life, not to mention a few you never even thought to ask. How did Abraham and Sarah learn to trust God even after their initial failures? How did Satan react to Abraham's attempts to sacrifice his son? And how old was Isaac on that fateful day, anyway? Was he even aware of his father's intentions as he was led up that hill? And when Abraham supposedly lied in telling Pharaoh that Sarah was his sister, was he, in fact, telling the truth, after all?

These are just some of the amazing things you'll learn about in Lost Stories Revealed.
