Jacob

[from the back cover] "Jacob is one of the most interesting individuals found in the entirety of the Word of God. In him, if we look closely, we will see ourselves, and what we see most of the time will not altogether be pleasant. But yet we see Jacob coming from that which could only be labeled as crooked to that which could be labeled as straight. Only the Lord could do such a thing. In it's fullness, Sanctification is a New Testament Doctrine, but yet, the life of Jacob portrays this all important work in every capacity. We would do well to learn from him."
