The story of Abraham is the beginning of the saga of Israel's divine destiny. His story
relates to you, as you will see during the next few devotional readings that are centered
on this man. Abraham's story is recorded in Genesis chapters 11-25.
Abram--as he was first called--lived with his family in a city called Ur in ancient
Babylon. He was the son of Terah and married to a woman named Sarai. She was
barren, and they had no children.
