Kay Arthur - Extreme Adventures with God: Isaac, Esau, and Jacob

H ey! Guess what? Molly, Sam (the great detective beagle), and I are getting outfitted for a great new adventure. By the way, my name is Max, and we want you to join us as we backpack across mountains and through forests, take on white-water rafting, and learn to rock climb as we become outfitted for Gods plan. Did you know that God has a plan for each one of our lives and that His choice is always best?

As we begin our new adventure, we will take along our map, the Bible, to learn about three guys in Gods plan: Isaac, Esau, and Jacob. WHAT lessons can we learn as we follow these three guys adventures with God? WHAT will God show us about Jacob and Esau before they are ever born? HOW do these two brothers get along? Are they close, or is there a struggle? WHO is in control? And HOW we can trust Gods choice, even when we face struggles and disappointments.

You have so much to discover about Isaac, Esau, and Jacob as you study Gods Word, the Bible, the source of all truth, and ask Gods Spirit to lead and guide you. You also have this book, which is an inductive Bible study. That word inductive means you go straight to the Bible yourself to investigate the lives of Isaac, Esau, and Jacob in the Book of Genesis. In inductive Bible study, you discover for yourself what the Bible says and means.

So pack up your gear, and dont forget Gods map! Lets get outfitted for the great outdoors and discover what it means to trust God to guide us, even in the most challenging and difficult adventures of our lives.

See you at the river!

All rightyoure here! Are you ready for the adventure of your life? Great! Grab those tent poles. The first thing we need to learn is how to set up our campsite. Then we can get started discovering just who these three guys are in Gods plan.

The campsite looks great! Why dont you give Sam a bowl of water? All that running around and yapping makes him thirsty. Now we can go sit by the river with a handful of trail mix and get started discovering the first guy in Gods great adventure. WHAT is the first thing we need to do before we get started? Do you remember? Pray! Way to go!

Bible study should always begin with prayer. We need God to be our Expert Guide on this great adventure, to lead and direct us by His Holy Spirit. Then we can understand what God says and make sure we handle His Word accurately.

So first things first. Lets pray. Then we will be ready to get started on this great adventure by following one of the guys in Gods plan: Isaac.
