All's Well That Ends Well Book

When I was young, I identified more with Joseph. Now that I am getting older, I identify more with Jacob. The older we are, the longer our past - with so many memories and, in my case, so many regrets. The thought that all our past folly could actually 'work together for good' (Rom 8:28 AV) is almost overwhelming. That is what this book is about.' 'All's Well that Ends Well' explores the life of Jacob, revealing a three-dimensional character with whom modern readers can closely identify. Despite the fact that God had spoken to Jacob at Bethel, and had wrestled with him at Peniel, and despite the fact that he had seen angels, Jacob had a weak faith. Yet his story offers insights into human behaviour and God's character that have not changed in thousands of years. The central theme of these sermons, says Kendall, is 'letting God love us'. Through God's dealings with Jacob and his family, Kendall reveals a God who is faithful, loving and just, and he demonstrates how we can overcome our weaknesses and grow in our Christian faith.
