Publisher Description
If you or someone close to you is devoted to their church but still struggles to find meaning and passion in their faith; who loves their family, works hard, contributes to their community, but still feels life is somehow incomplete and hollow at the core; who is restless in spirit, with a nagging sense that there must be something more . . . there is The Magnificent Obsession.
Gifted Bible teacher Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of evangelist Billy Graham, has known these struggles herself. As she studied Scripture, looking for a way out of the emptiness, she found her answer in the amazing story of Abraham, a very ordinary man who became extraordinary for one pivotal reason: he pursued God in a life of obedient faith, not knowing where that decision would take him. Anne followed Abraham's lead and began a lifelong pursuit of knowing God, as he truly is, in an intensely personal relationship.
Through personal anecdotes, unforgettable stories, and God-inspired insights, she invites you to draw closer to God, who is as committed to you as he was to Abraham, and longs to call you "friend."

" Anne Graham Lotz is one of best Bible teachers in ministry today. In this book she writes about the life of Abraham, encouraging us to leave everything behind to follow the "God filled life." The book is inspiring and challenging at the same time. "

" Lotz does a great job of breaking down the biblical story of Abraham and applying it the individual Christian life. The only drawback were the occasional weak exegesis of particular passages. "

" Liked that Anne tells how she dealt with her personal grief at the death of her mother. Each chapter helped me learn more about my faith, Anne starts with Eph 3:14-16,19 . "

" The first half was wonderful, as Anne Graham Lutz made Abraham really come alive. However, I found it a bit repetitious in the second half. It's a good book to read as a devotional. "

" Great study of Abraham that comes from a woman who has studied the subject a great deal and asks you to do the same thing. I learned bunches I did not before know and it encouraged my faith in God a great deal. "
