The bundle covers the stories of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob with a bonus book on Lot, Abraham's nephew.

The Bible tells us that Abraham was God's friend and he was chosen to head up all of God's people, including us in the Church today.

They were not a perfect family, indeed, these stories will raise your eyebrows at times, they are so dysfunctional.

The story of Abraham is a journey through life. It is a journey all of us are called to make. The circumstances may be different, the location most certainly will not be the same route as Abraham took, but the journey we take will face the same problems and same distractions which would seek to sideline us. Therefore, it is crucial to study these characters. As Solomon said, “Nothing is new under the sun”. We can learn from these scriptures, which God has provided for us.

Isaac is like the Church today. He is a great man but achieves little.

The story of Jacob gives me hope. Jacob is no less than a rogue. If Jacob were alive in the twenty-first century, he would be one of those ruthless entrepreneurs who would take advantage of their staff and pay them a pittance. He would outwit his competitors and pull every trick in the book. Jacob would be the JR Ewing.

Lot escapes from Sodom and Gomorrah by the skin of his teeth.
