Synopsis

In unfathomable love, God chooses foolish, self-serving human beings and fits them for His divine purposes. In Jacobs case, God transformed His ""fool"" into a great nation in spite of Jacob's many flaws, his devious, manipulative, and selfish ways. What worked in Jacobs favor, according to author David Roper, was that Jacob wanted God. ""God does not foist himself on those who do not want Him,"" Roper writes, ""but he diligently looks for those who do, no matter who they are or what they have done. In seventeen chapters, with titles such as ""The Birthright,"" ""Jacob's Ladder,"" and ""The Cleansing Flame,"" Roper offers candid snap- shots of God's handiwork in the life of this schemer-turned-patriarch.
