Indeed, the book goes further and details the steps we must take to ensure revival in the Church.

The story of Jacob gives me hope. Jacob is no less than a rogue. If Jacob were alive in the 21st century, he would be one of those ruthless entrepreneurs who would take advantage of their staff and pay them a pittance.

Quite simply, if God can love, choose, and accept a character like Jacob, then he will accept me, who has failed him continually for the past 60 years.

The Church is a great organisation, but it is achieving little today. Therefore, any burdened that the Church is achieving little need to study the character of Isaac and learn from him. This book seeks to recount the life of Isaac, and look for deeper meaning related to us in the 21st century, but I must confess, I found this a difficult book to write, and I hope this does not detract from the content.

Many governments are starting to talk about the introduction of Covid-19 passports. Some society members are very concerned about this, seeing the possibility of abuse of the data collected. Critics pointed to how YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter have de-platformed users who do not comply with their mindest. These mega tech companies have destroyed some businesses that they deem inappropriate. This has been very much pronounced in right-leaning news stations that have not agreed with the mainstream media.

Moses is one of the giants of the Old Testament, so much so that the Jews always talk of "the law of Moses" throughout history. If I had to liken Moses to a character today, I would place him above Martin Luther, D L Moody, The Wesleys, Billy Graham.
