In Abraham or The Obedience of Faith, F.B. Meyer tells the story of Abraham, who lived a life of faithfulness to God. Abraham's life is a witness to the fact that faith can grow in our lives. "But wherever faith is, it is the link with Omnipotence; the channel for God's communications; the wire along which the Fire of Heaven may travel. And as it is used according to the promptings of the Divine Spirit, and in obedience to His commands, it will grow. It grew in Abraham. It will grow in us." Frederick Brotherton Meyer was a Baptist pastor and evangelist in England, a contemporary and friend of D. L. Moody and A. C. Dixon. Meyer was involved in ministry and inner city mission work on both sides of the Atlantic, authored 40 religious books, numerous articles and was described as The Archbishop of the Free Churches.

F. B. Meyer, who was one of England’s brighter spiritual lights, was born on April 8, 1847. At the early age of five he began his life’s walk with the Savior. To Meyer, this was a vital relationship where two spirits met and fellowshipped together. Having been a student himself at London University, Meyer loved working with students. Throughout his long life students flocked to hear his lessons on the very practical issues of Christian living. In his various pastorates ranging from Liverpool to London, Meyer devoted himself to winning men and women from all walks of life. During his early years as minister he became the first pastor to welcome D.L. Moody to England. The English benefited much, as did the young Meyer. From Moody he received the advice to always be himself and never a copy of another. A popular speaker at various conventions, Meyer became a regular speaker at the Keswick Convention, beginning in 1887. His missionary viewpoint was profoundly affected by two of the Cambridge Seven who were headed for China. Later he became a prime minister in the Regions Beyond Missionary Union. As a prolific writer of tracts, booklets, and some seventy books, his chief contribution to literature is a series of outstanding Bible biographies of which this book is one. {Google Books}
