Uncover the untold story of Abraham's early years in Jubilees 11-12. Forget the familiar tales – this is about smashing idols and a world-changing encounter. We'll break down the family context of the time and Abraham's rebellion against his father's idols, leading to his discovery of God and the beginning of the covenant.
Prepare to see Abraham's story in a new light.
Each story we reflect on comes from the Tanakh. I encourage you to read it in your own time — to let the words meet you where you are and reveal their light in your life.
