Download or read book They Walked with God written by Gena Duncan and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to walk with God? Enoch knew. In fact, he knew so well that one day he walked right into Gods eternal home without dying. Now that was a walk! A life walk involves all the activities that intersect with our lives every day. If we walked like Enoch or like righteous Noah, what would those intersections of appointments, meetings, meals, sport games, telephone conversations, text messages, meetings with friends, and discussions with family members look like? All those giants of faith listed in Hebrews 11 walked with God and are examples to us of walking in faith with God. Noah believed God would send a flood and built an ark even though he had never seen rain. Joshua and the Israelites, Deborah and Barak, Jephthah, and Gideon had faith for miraculous victories in battle. Rahab choose to leave her life of prostitution, married, and became part of the lineage of Christ. Samson asked for one last triumph of strength and fulfilled Gods plan for his life. The author unmasks the lives of eight less-known giants of faith and reveals their triumphant acts of faith and the head-hanging weaker moments not mentioned in Hebrews 11. What can these unbelievable stories mean to us? Open these pages and see.
