Who was Jacob? He was overshadowed by his grandfather, Abraham, and eclipsed by his son Joseph. And yet Jacob's story stretches over half the book of Genesis, enabling us to understand him as a real person. From Jacob's perspective we can look at the struggle for success, the pressure of work, the stress of the family, risk, and uncertainty. This 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. Jake: Just Learn to Worship takes a fresh look at this biblical character and opens up his dilemmas and difficulties for Christian living today. Questions for personal study or group discussion are found at the end of each chapter
