Written by Henry T Blackaby

Narrated by Wayne Shepherd

Abraham learned to recognize the all-compelling voice that led him away to a strange land. What an honor to have God call him his intimate friend! Yet, we know God desires all of us to have such a close relationship with him that we learn to hear and respond to his voice.

Reviews for Created to Be God's Friend

[bjace_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Compares the Christian experience to the life of Abraham and shows how God shaped him into a man who served God joyfully and blessed the lives of those around him. I was particularly struck by the stress the author placed on obedience as a part of faith and how it's crucially important if we want to grow in Christ. Has good questions for reflection or discussion.
