JAKE: JUST LEARN TO WORSHIP
By Terry Young
Paternoster. 90 pages
ISBN 0 900128 27 5

This book is a series of studies in the life of Jacob. It takes events that Jacob faced, and his responses to them, and applies them to modern day equivalents. The overall argument through the book is that God leads Jacob to stop trusting in his own efforts and scheming and learn to worship.

The strengths of the book are in its easy reading and down to earth style. It discusses real issues of everyday Christian living with lots of examples and no trite answers. At the end of each chapter there are insightful and thought-provoking questions about how our faith impacts on the nitty-gritty of life.
