Born and educated in Scotland, Brian worked as a government scientist until God called him into full-time Christian ministry on behalf of the Churches of God (www.churchesofgod.info). His voice has been heard on Search For Truth radio broadcasts for over 30 years (visit www.searchfortruth.podbean.com) during which time he has been an itinerant Bible teacher throughout the UK and Canada. His evangelical and missionary work outside the UK is primarily in Belgium and The Philippines. He is married to Rosemary, with a son and daughter.

Bible teacher, missionary and radio broadcaster, Brian Johnston's conversational and down to earth approach provides an informative biography and commentary of one of the most important characters in the Old Testament of our Bibles - Abraham the nomad. Abraham was known for his great example of faith and for being a "Friend of God", but his life was far from plain sailing. Brian draws out a number of lessons for our discipleship today in this helpful Bible study.
