The lives of the patriarchs can teach us many things about character, commitment, and the walk of faith. In this brief look at Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph in their historical context, Michael Norten has done a splendid job of explaining the biblical doctrine of sanctification. The give-and-take between the author and Rabbi Jake Cohen enables the reader to more easily understand all the nuances of sanctification. Michael Norten puts this doctrine on the lower shelf where anyone can see it and profit from its study.

Michael Norten experienced the saving grace of God as a child and has continued to walk in that grace for many years. His explanation of God's grace that saves and sanctifies believers today, paralleled in the lives of the patriarchs, will encourage any modern pilgrim who is trekking through the valley of life on to glory. Michael's personal stories of experiencing that grace are fascinating and his heart to help others understand the grace of God in truth is soul stirring. Our Redemptive Journey is a must read.

Thank you, Michael Norten, for this wonderful book, a treasure from now on to any Christian pilgrim, from one who is young, growing in the faith, to a knowledgeable biblical scholar. I wondered if the character, Rabbi Cohen was a metaphor for our Lord Jesus. He invites us to sit across the table with us daily, having coffee, as we hear from Him in His Word and can now, with more understanding, discuss the wonders of the different types and promises of sanctification with the author of our salvation Himself! I was so enriched, lavishing in the loving truths explained.
