    A new favorite author 👍
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024*

Wonderful, wonderful book…one of the best I’ve read in years. I love the way this Hebrew scholar expresses profound spiritual truths in such relatable, down-to-earth terms. It seems to me that there are many Christians who seem to see little correlation between the Old Testament and the New…(even discounting the Old as less important at times). This author makes those connections, and I’m thinking, “Yes!” with every turn of the page. Order arrived in great condition, I ordered more for gifts.

    Not only my NEW "FAVORITE" Chad Bird book; also in TOP TEN Theological/Inspirational books ever!!!
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023*

What's so exciting about the patriarch Jacob? How interesting could an extended Bible study about Jacob really be?!? Well... a whole lot more interesting, inspirational, relevant, and even fascinating than I ever imagined!!! This book "Limping with God: Jacob & the Old Testament to Messy Discipleship" is now officially my FAVORITE Chad Bird book; and more, it is in my TOP 10 Theological/Inspirational books ever!!!  The short chapters at first seemed too short and choppy to me; but having the discussion questions for each chapter right at the end of the chapter rather than jammed in a end-of-book section made the questions so much more important and easy to use and in fact helped me to see how utterly relevant each little chapter was and pregnant with ponderable thoughts and insights!! I now love each of these little chapters and think that all of my future hearing/reading about Jacob will bring one or more of these chapters and insights to mind!!  I never would have imagined that such little chapters would facilitate such a deep dive into the life of a Biblical character such as Jacob!! But this is in fact a deep dive with deep insights and practical application to our lives today and yet is absolutely accessible to the non-clergy/non seminary-trained lay person who can read and understand this great book!! Yet I imagine that most pastors and biblical scholars will also learn quite a bit by this book if they will!!  I also seemed to have forgotten how very much of Jacob's life is told in so much of the book of Genesis; and I certainly had overlooked some very significant verses with huge implications in what is recorded about Jacob in Genesis!! Chad Bird did a masterful job not only indicating and explaining the context of all these verses and chapters but was totally outstanding at connecting the dots of Jacob's life/significance to our life and faith today -- certainly a parallel "messy discipleship" indeed!! In fact, I would say this books deserves a place in the seminary curriculum as a model for future pastors to connect God's Word to the lives of God's people. And in that light I certainly hope Chad Bird will write a whole series of books with similar scope on other OT lives, like Moses, Isaiah, Esther, etc.

One of the best books I have read in a very long time. Jacob's issues are relevant to today's struggles and conflicts.
