Raising Abel: The Life of Faith

assumes that the Bible would not bother telling us about a cunning serpent, a murderous brother, or a resinous gopher tree, if they didn't have something to do with the deeper topic of faith. After all, isn't the Bible "the authority" on faith? Raising Abel explores the most familiar chapters of Genesis, not as a collection of stories of the beginning of time, but as our first and best guide to the subject of faith. The author, as a physician, explains faith within the framework of wellness, dividing the Genesis stories into four parts that answer four questions. reassures us that "there is something greater than a perfectly good world; it is an imperfect world plus faith." In a perfect world there would be no need of faith. Get ready to experience faith in a whole new light!
