Wrestling Jacob

Since reading Abraham: Father of the Faithful, I have also read Wrestling Jacob by the same author, H.A. Whittaker. Another profound study that I highly recommend to those desiring to learn more about the character and life of Jacob. There are many lessons to be learned from Jacob's life to be applied to our lives today.

"But, alas, the pilgrim of today is only another Jacob in modern dress, just as prone as he to assume that God needs his scheming and labour in order to bring the pilgrimage to a successful end. Yet the words of God remain an undying guarantee that God can make a success of the inglorious efforts of the weakest of His creatures." p. 34
