We will explore the world of the patriarchs of our faith encountering Abraham,

gripping truth to life, we will see the relationships of these men, their families, and
their God in a new light. Bring depth to your understanding of these fathers of the
faith. Please contact Donna at [email protected] or text her at 330-6852223 to let her know you need a book.

parents who have a desire for high academic standards in an affordable
format that upholds their Christian value system. It will serve to prepare the
students to be leaders of the next generation that uphold high moral values,
exhibit personal responsibility, and exemplify a Christian life to those around
them. Further information can be found on www.aceministries.com.
