Living in the Grip of Relentless Grace: The Gospel in the Lives of Isaac and Jacob
"Our God delights in writing straight with a crooked pencil," says Iain Duguid. The lives of Isaac and Jacob are vivid examples of that principle. Time and again God displays his grace and glory by overcoming their weakness and sinfulness. Readers can take encouragement in the midst of their own shortcomings that the gospel triumphs not through human might or goodness but through God's relentless grace.
