Becoming Israel is a five-week Bible study journey with Jacob. It will surely bring encouragement and healing to anyone who has struggled feeling they have made too many mistakes or that their promises will never come. Jacob's story will reveal God's extravagant love, which reaches beyond mistakes and failures to bring calls and promises to fruition. Let Jacob's story restore hope and ignite your passion for kingdom purposes. Jacob was born to wrestle. He was born to parents who had wrestled with barrenness. He entered the world wrestling for position as he grasped his twin brother's heel. From there, he wrestled with his call and identity, continuing to grasp for what he felt was his. He would try to fulfill God's call and His promises in his own strength. Jacob's wrestling led him away from home and into a new set of challenges to wrestle. He wrestled with in-laws, wives, work, and still with his call and identity. Finally, he wrestled with God, received a new name, and was forever changed. "Becoming Israel: Jacob's Struggle is a unique and encouraging Bible study introducing to us one of the biggest rascals in the Old Testament, Jacob, Isaac's younger son. If you are interested in family dynamics or whether you know how crucial good parents are in their responsibilities to their children, you will be blessed by this study. Shepherded by Jacquie, we journey through family tensions, deceitful actions, betrayal, and fraud. But God is involved with us all and we come to experience with Jacob, the undeniable, inescapable grace of God in such a way that Jacob becomes our blessing. The patience of God in ministering to Jacob in the discipline he had to endure, will bless you as will Jacob's gradual transformation from cheat to patriarch. I can wholeheartedly recommend this study." - Lesly Ezelle Ladies' Events Speaker Retired British Foreign Missions "Wow. I really enjoyed the study. I saw Leah from a new point of view. I also discovered how much Rebekah's scheming cost." Devon Stone, Sunday School teacher "I loved this study on Jacob. Jacquie is a gifted writer and teacher." Pastor Lorraine O'Neal "Thank you for the Becoming Israel study and the look at Jacob- revisiting my calling, holy places, and God's plans, blessing, and faithfulness to my children."
