Following God Fully 3. Abraham's Plan "Goes South" 4. A Skeleton in the Closet 5. A Disastrous Decision 6. A Bout With Fear 7. A Pure Motive But a Wrong Method 8. Thirteen Silent Years (one of my favorite chapters) 9. Out of the Darkness (another good chapter) 10. Sarah's Most Embarrasing Moment 11. Forgiven - But Facing the Consequences 12. The Final Exam The book is easy to read and is excellent for the layperson or pastor who is looking for material on Abraham to preach on.
