Synopsis

Adam, Enoch, Noah, Jacob we all know their names, but these men were not just unreachable, early bible prophets. They were real people with real human problems, but they also walked with God. With thousands of years between us, it s hard to imagine what their lives were like. They Walked With God pairs ancient scriptural accounts with modern revelation to present intimate biographies of nine Genesis patriarchs that enable you to relate to them in a more familiar way, and learn the doctrines they taught. Best-selling author Duane S. Crowther illuminates those doctrines in a clear, easy-to-follow format that will enrich your study of the entire Old Testament. Biographically, historically, and doctrinally, They Walked with God will give you an increased understanding of the very first doctrines and concepts of the Bible, the Lord s Church, and life on this earth, including the keys to returning to God s presence.
