Learning How to Wrestle Like Jacob: A Leader’s Journey from Striving to Surrender($14.74Value)

Description

What if the struggle you are trying to escape is the very place God is forming you? Leadership is often portrayed as strength, clarity, and momentum. Yet Scripture tells a different story. At the heart of biblical leadership lies a night of wrestling — a moment when self-reliance gives way to surrender. In Learning How to Wrestle Like Jacob , David Food explores the profound encounter of Genesis 32 and shows how Jacob’s struggle with God is not an isolated event, but a pattern repeated in the lives of leaders today. This book is for: Church leaders navigating pressure and responsibility - Business and marketplace leaders facing complexity and change - Christians experiencing delay, disappointment, or uncertainty - Anyone longing to lead from grace rather than striving Through rich biblical reflection and practical insight, David unpacks: The crisis of the call - Wrestling with identity and God’s timing - Leading through misunderstanding and opposition - The “limp of leadership” — why weakness becomes strength - How to wrestle for others in prayer - Why the struggle is never wasted This is not a book about avoiding difficulty. It is about recognising that divine formation often happens in the dark. Honest, reflective, and pastorally grounded, Learning How to Wrestle Like Jacob invites you to stop striving for blessing and start surrendering for transformation. The wrestle may leave a mark. But it will also leave a blessing.
