Jacob’s Wish is a heartwarming tale of a small boy who carries a big secret with him wherever he goes. More often than not, he is jokingly mistaken for a little businessman on account of the rather large and obnoxious briefcase he refuses to leave behind. On a train ride to St Pancras station, Jacob meets a young girl named Abby and her uncle Eustace. After their rather awkward and playful introduction, Abby shares her love for philosophy and ‘demonstrates’ her skills in the art of deduction. Her bumptious behavior ultimately encourages Jacob to open up and divulge his own thoughts and ideas. Their shared experiences in dealing with life’s ups and downs quickly bonds the two, sparking an immediate friendship. Against all odds, they embark on a journey filled with danger and excitement, making plenty of new friends and running into old acquaintances along the way. You are invited to travel with Jacob, Abby and their companions as they make their way through the slithery underbelly of a secret and ancient organization known as The Sophic. Within the pages of this book, you will find a touching story about the power of friendship, the importance of trust and the resilience of the human spirit.

The Bible's first book contains many well-known stories, some familiar since childhood: creation and the garden of Eden; an ark full of animals adrift in a flood; Abraham and Isaac; the conniving Jacob; and the dreams of Joseph. Now hear these stories again in a new way, and in hearing, discover the knowledge that God created everything in goodness and love. Whether in the heights of paradise or the depths of exile, the human journey is never far from the presence of God. From Eden to Egypt, Genesis affirms God's love for us all. Interpretation Bible Studies (IBS) offers solid biblical content in a creative study format. Forged in the tradition of the celebrated Interpretation commentary series, IBS makes the same depth of biblical insight available in a dynamic, flexible, and user-friendly resource. Designed for adults and older youth, IBS can be used in small groups, in church school classes, in large-group presentations, or in personal study.

This work is a twofold treatise. It first concerns “Jacob’s Seed” as an exposition of Isa. 65:19, “I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’” Burroughs shows how prayer is not in vain if it is done by God’s people with a right end, though we might not see or gain what we want from prayer immediately. The second treatise is called “David’s Delight” and is an exposition from Psalm 16:3, “But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent in whom is all my delight.” Burroughs teaches that the people of God should be the delight of the Christian since Christ is in her midst. Two powerful works by a master teacher and preacher. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.
