What do you make of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, whose story stretches out over half of Genesis? Although he lived thousands of years ago, Jacob faced some very modern dilemmas. From his perspective, we can look at the struggle for success, the pressure of work, the stress of the family, risk and uncertainty. It may seem a far cry from the blessing he was promised but this book encourages us to follow Jacob through the wreckage of his relationships until he has to stop running. And when he stops running, he starts to find time for worship.
