{ "item_title" : "The Covenant Of Promise", "item_author" : [" Samuel Ashford "], "item_description" : "What does God do after judgment? In The Covenant of Promise, Samuel Ashford turns to one of the great turning points in all of Scripture: God's covenant with Abraham. After Eden, the flood, and Babel, the biblical story could have ended in silence. Instead, God speaks. He calls one man out of a judged and fractured world and binds Himself by promise. This book shows that the covenant with Abraham is not a side theme in the Bible. It is one of the central movements of redemptive history. Here the reader begins to see how God answers human rebellion, not by ignoring judgment, but by introducing promise into history. Through Abraham and Isaac, Genesis develops the great covenant themes of land, seed, blessing, inheritance, faith, testing, waiting, and the future of the nations. Written with doctrinal seriousness and pastoral clarity, The Covenant of Promise explores Abraham not as a flawless religious hero, but as a real covenant figure who walks by faith while still knowing fear, weakness, delay, barrenness, and testing. The emphasis is not on human greatness, but on divine faithfulness. God remembers His word, keeps His covenant, and carries His purpose forward even when the human bearer of promise struggles under its weight. Inside this book, readers will explore:- why the covenant of promise matters after Eden, the flood, and Babel- Abraham's call out of a judged world- land, seed, and blessing as the structure of the covenant- pilgrimage, fear, and unfinished possession in the promised land- barrenness, delay, and the weight of waiting- faith counted as righteousness- the covenant ceremony and God's binding word- Hagar and the logic of impatience- circumcision as the sign of the covenant- Isaac as the child of promise- Moriah, testing, and covenant trust- why the promise changes the story of Scripture This book is for readers who want more than inspirational language about faith detached from the biblical storyline. It is for those seeking a deeper Genesis Bible study, a stronger grasp of biblical theology, and a clearer understanding of Abraham, Isaac, covenant, promise, and God's redemptive purpose. It is especially useful for readers interested in the Abrahamic covenant, faith and righteousness, the promises of God, waiting on God, Old Testament theology, the book of Genesis, and the biblical foundation for blessing to the nations. As Book 4 in the Ashford Biblical Theology Series, this volume stands at one of the great hinges of the Bible. It explains why Abraham matters, why Isaac matters, and why the language of covenant, inheritance, promise, and blessing shapes so much of the rest of Scripture. It shows that God's answer to a broken world is not human self-repair, but divine initiative. He calls. He promises. He binds Himself by covenant. And He preserves the line of promise across generations. In a culture that often wants immediate fulfillment, Abraham's story teaches readers how to live under promise before possession, to trust God in delay, and to understand faith as covenantal response rather than motivational optimism. This book helps readers see that God's promises are historical, deliberate, and trustworthy. They move through real places, real generations, real testing, and real waiting, and they prepare the way for the larger biblical story without losing the integrity of Abraham's own place in redemptive history. If you are looking for a clear, Scripture-rooted, and theologically serious Christian book on Abraham, Isaac, the covenant of promise, faith, blessing, and God's plan for the nations, The Covenant of Promise is a strong next step in the series.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/825/410/9798254108399_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
