This is another great book by David Roper. He is a gifted writer, encourager, teacher and minister. Describing the life of Jacob, and how God could continue to love him, with all Jacob's sneakiness, failures and human solutions is a great encouragement to me in my daily walk with Christ. What a wonderful description of why and how God can love us in all our repeated failures and sinfullness. The format of the book is just right for a short daily bible study - it takes about 15 minutes. I can't wait for Pastor Roper's next book!

This book is dear to my heart. It teaches me that YHWH can use such a flawed person as Yacov, and an even more flawed person like me. It has changed my understanding. This narrative is for flawed, foolish people only. Great people need not apply.

This is one of the best topical Bible studies I have ever read! It is easy and entertaining, yet thoughtful and reflective. It would make an excellent group study book. I would like to see David Roper do a similar study of many of the Bible characters.

I was really blessed by this book. Great insight into the life of Jacob. I recommend this book for those that God chooses.
