It's my first children's book, published by Concordia Publishing House .  I'm so happy to see it come out.

Isaac Blesses Jacob and Esau is from the latter chapters of Genesis. It's a story of sibling rivalry, deception, and a stolen blessing followed by years of hatred and fear. After being separated for twenty years, the brothers are able to finally come together and meet in humility and forgiveness.

My hope is that you can share this with young listeners and readers. They will learn history that shows them that God's love is more powerful than our emotions and sins. We can learn to forgive others and be forgiven.

At less than $3 per book, you can pick up several for the little ones in your life and for you school or church library.

Let me know what you think of it.
