Who was Jacob in the Bible?

The story of Jacob is the heartbreaking narrative of a dysfunctional family.

Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebekah, who deceived Isaac into giving his birthright to him—instead of to Esau, Jacob's older brother. After receiving his brother's birthright through conspiracy and deception, Jacob feared for his life and fled to a faraway land. Despite all this, God was with Jacob.

Jacob's story is an essential part of biblical history. It has meaning for you today as well. Through this book, you'll be reminded that God is in control of all things—even when people work against his will.

If you're wondering who Jacob was, or want to know how Jacob's faith journey impacts your own, this book is for you!

Jacob is part of the God's People series by Northwestern Publishing House. It's a wonderful collection about the lives and times of some of God's chosen people. Plots and settings have been taken directly from the Bible, and each book features beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations.
