Description: " You will live the grand story of the descendants of Abraham in this  capstone of the Roberta Kells Dorr biblical fiction series. This work is a new,  previously unpublished title, of Abraham's descendants featuring Isaac's sons, Jacob and Esau,  told with the same critical eye and careful study Dorr is known for. In it, faith  keeps Abraham from accepting the king's daughter as a wife for Isaac, but fear almost  keeps Rebekah from leaving her home to become Isaac's spouse. When God tells Rebekah  that she will bear Isaac twin sons and the youngest will serve the older, Jacob  is skeptical. But that revelation will mark the lives of Jacob and Esau and influence  generations to come.This tale of family love, greed, jealousy, hope, manipulation,  stubbornness, idol worship, famine, and faith in the one God, Elohim, is taken from  the pages of biblical history but sounds like a headline from today's magazines.  It ends much like it begins, when Jacob blesses two of his grandsons, Manasseh and Ephraim,  saying that the younger will become greater than the older, a theme that is seen  throughout The Sons of Isaac.
