Adventures of the Patriarchs: The Genesis of Faith, A Creative Account

The Adventures of the Patriarchs are exciting and entertaining when told in contemporary language by the creative flair of R.C. Balfour, III. Based on the stories from Genesis, enjoy the colorful and often humorous tales Balfour elaborates about the Patriarch's personal struggles, battles, and even love affairs, all of which closely fit the characters and recorded events. At times, he throws in a totally creative story of fiction, but the tale always fits into the Genesis theme. At the same time, the author concisely develops the beginning of faith in the One Omnipotent God, including God's covenant with Abraham as carried forward by his sons Isaac, Jacob and his descendents. The progeny of Abraham's son Ishmael by the servant girl, Hagar, develops into the Arab nations and the conflict which extends even to this day.
