One Was Avraham, Rabbi Trugman’s 21st book, explores in great depth the life of the first patriarch Avraham – shedding light on the enormous effect he has had on humanity while presenting the author’s assertion that Avraham is in fact the most influential person in all of history.

Rabbi Trugman convincingly shows in a myriad of ways how Avraham influenced not only Judaism but also Christianity, Islam, the Western world and even the East. Not only was Avraham a trailblazer, influencer and visionary but his descendants, the Jewish people, based on his teachings and example have made major contributions in virtually every area of human development far beyond their small numbers. This book will not only surprise, intrigue and inspire but its teachings are eminently relevant as a guide and beacon of light for each and every person regardless of religion, nationality or race. 

"This work is thorough, informative, inspiring, and easily read. I commend Rabbi Trugman for yet another quality work that will enhance and amplify Torah knowledge and Torah ideals". –Rabbi Zev Leff
