"F.B. Meyer preaches as a man who has seen God face to face." "He is throughout reverent and thoughtful, and will point out to many a reader unsuspected truth and beauty in the Holy Scriptures." This volume in the Heroes of the Bible series aims to to trace the chords of faith in the life of Abraham and in so doing to encourage those who hope to have such a faith as the father of faith. As faith is used according to the will of the Father, obedience grows, and faith grows with it, and the tasks one once thought impossible are seen as not - it was true with Abraham and it is true with us. About the Author Dr. Meyer began pastoring in 1870, and in 1872 he went to Priory Street Baptist Chapel. There he met D. L. Moody, who made a lasting impression upon his life and taught him valuable spiritual lessons. These two godly men formed a lifelong friendship. During his long and fruitful life, Meyer preached more than 16,000 sermons. Said one author: 'The phrasing of Meyer's sermons was simple and direct; he polished his discourses as an artist polishes a perfect stone. There was always a glowing imagery in his words; his speech was pastoral, lovely as an English valley washed in sunlight…In his day, great wars raged. Those who went to hear him forgot the battles.' A distinct feature of Meyer's ministry was his outcry against the social evils of his day. Not only was he effective in the temperance movement, but he was also responsible for the closing of over 500 houses of prostitution. He also formed a prison aid society. A devoted student of God's Word, he was the author of over 40 books, including Bible biographies (character studies), devotional commentaries, sermon volumes and expository works. He also authored several pamphlets and edited a number of magazines.
