Favored Cheat

The Life of Jacob

Scripture devotes more space to the story of Jacob than Abraham and Isaac’s combined. He is the father of the twelve tribes and the man from whom the nation of Israel derived its name. Yet he is one of the most flawed figures in the Bible, whose name Jacob, or “cheat,” suits his early life.Favored Cheat examines the life of the Bible’s third patriarch through his own eyes. Written in first person, this unique study of Jacob’s life will help readers see Jacob’s story in a new way.This edition includes a thirteen-lesson study guide for personal devotions, small groups, or Bible classes.
