Product Description
How do I find greater wholeness in my life and in my family s life? The stress of late-20th-century living only brings new variations to timeless personal struggles. The people described by the biblical writers of Genesis were in situations and relationships very much like our own, and their stories still speak to us because they are about the same basic problems we deal with every day. Learning from Adam and Eve , can we find the courage not only to face our other side, but to draw strength from it? Learning from Leah and Rachel, can we stop competing with our loved ones, and begin to accept them and find ourselves? Cain and Abel, Ishmael and Isaac, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers; these six stories are first retold and then explored, offering us new ways of understanding ourselves and our families and healing our lives.
