It started as a rivalry between two brothers. Promised twins destined to be a nation with the older serving the younger. Esau, the elder of the two men whose loins produced the country of Edom, would often have conflicts with Jacob, whose group of sons formed Israel. Due to internal problems and strife, these two tribes, bonded by blood, would become a fester of pain and struggle towards each other in a land full of hostile empires and nations. During an exile of Israel, a message was sent by the prophet Obadiah to the people who lived on Mount Seir, known as the Edomites.

These testimonies of the soul are simple as true, commonplace as simple, universal as commonplace, natural as universal, divine as natural. I don't think they can appear frivolous or feeble to any one, if he reflect on the majesty of nature, from which the soul derives its authority. If you acknowledge the authority of the mistress, you will own it also in the disciple. Well, nature is the mistress here, and her disciple is the soul. But everything the one has taught or the other learned, has come from God--the Teacher of the teacher.

This book is for parents or carers, those with faith or no faith, to share with their children. This is the second book in the series.

The doctrine of Hermogenes has this taint of novelty. He is, in short, a man living in the world at the present time; by his very nature a heretic, and turbulent withal, who mistakes loquacity for eloquence, and supposes impudence to be firmness, and judges it to be the duty of a good conscience to speak ill of individuals. Moreover, he despises God’s law in his painting, maintaining repeated marriages, alleges the law of God in defense of lust, and yet despises it in respect of his art. He falsifies by a twofold process—with his cautery and his pen.
