In the Cool of the Day

In the Cool of the Day centers on the Lord's choice of Immanuel, "God With Us," as one of his names when he came to live among us and die for us. Based on the conviction that the Bible is the actual Word of God written by men led by the Holy Spirit, the book looks first at the wonders and logical sequence of creation. Moving on through the disaster of Adam's sin, the tragedy of the flood, and the new start in Noah, the book leads up to the call of Abram, his years of waiting for God's promise, and at last the miraculous birth of Isaac. The reader sees how Abraham's faith that God could raise Isaac from the dead opened the way for God to send his own Son to die for us. The history of Abraham's descendants through good and bad times led to the conditions for God's rescue plan to be put in motion. The birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ each have chapters of their own, as do the gift of the Holy Spirit, the thousand year reign, and the final day toward which God was working from the beginning.
