God Is Loser Friendly: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob & Me - Paperback

by Tim W. Callaway (Author)

Callaway brings his unique pen and personality to a stimulating re-examination of 'the stars' of the book of Genesis. He is uninhibited and downright irreverent in unmasking the likes of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel. His purpose is to make the critically important point that even the most heralded humans have been anything but perfect-far from it. Yet the irony is that God not only shows grace but actually chooses to make use of "losers." Callaway exhibits unusual range in telling the story with skills that reflect his academic and pastoral expertise, along with a rich abundance of humour. The result: a thought-provoking, entertaining, and uplifting treatise that warrants a wide and varied audience.Reginald W.
