The Life of Isaac
Isaac was the son of Abraham and Sarah, and he was the father of Jacob and Esau. He was a man of great faith, and he is an important figure in the Bible because he shows us that God can use anyone to achieve His purposes. No matter our background or our abilities, God can use us to do great things.
