2.0 out of 5 stars A lot of reviewing, January 31, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Men of Character: Jacob: Following God Without Looking Back (Paperback)
Unfortunately this book did not keep my interest. It was a lot of reviewing of the plot without saying much. I have enjoyed Gene Getz's writing in the past, but not this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction to the Life of Jacob, August 28, 2007
This review is from: Men of Character: Jacob: Following God Without Looking Back (Paperback)
"Jacob: Following God Without Looking Back" is another installment by Gene Getz in the Men of Character series. This title is on Jacob, whose original name meant "Trickster" and whose actions got him into a lot of trouble.

The book consists of 13 chapters with the following titles:

1. It All Begins at Home
2. A Tricky Plot
3. A Beuatiful Novella
4. The Great Deception
5. A Born-Again Experience
6. Reaping What We Sow
7. A Modern-Day Opera
8. Change Points
9. A Difficult Confrontation
10. Solving Problems God's Way
11. Wrestling With God
12. Reconciliation and Forgiveness
13. Back Home Again

While the book is more tailored towards the lay reader, pastors can also benefit for their own personal lives and also for sermon preparation.

Read and be encouraged to know that God is powerful enough to use anyone He chooses!

Recommended.
