Escaping with Jacob: 30 Devotionals to Help You Find Your Identity, Forgive Your Past, and Walk in Your Purpose
God loves using works in progress. What kind of people does God use to accomplish His extraordinary plans? Does He call the perfect ones? Or does He reach down into this messy world and use the people we would never expect? The grandson of Abraham was no angel. Jacob began his life in turmoil and succeeded through deception. He was a character controlled by fear, the last person we would ever expect God to use. But God saw different. He entered Jacob’s messy life and took him on an unforgettable journey towards his purpose. If you’ve ever felt like God can’t use you or like your past has kept you from the life you want to live, this book is for you. Escaping with Jacob will help you transform into the person God has called you to be so that you can live the extraordinary story He is writing for you!

Escaping With Jacob: 30 Devotionals to Help You Find Your Identity, Forgive Your Past, and Walk in Your Purpose was written by David Ramos for those who are "tired of running or hiding", "tired of not knowing God the way He wants to be known", or "feel as if your past is keeping you from the life God has for you," (Introduction). The author presumes a Christian reader and does not give a Gospel presentation. As a formatting note, I am reading this book from a .pdf file. There are no page numbers within the text itself; therefore, I'm citing direct quotes with the chapter title from the Table of Contents and the corresponding devotional day, if applicable.
This 30-day devotional looks at the life of Jacob from the book of Genesis. The author states that the "[t]he story of Jacob is a story of becoming - how one man transformed from an escape artist into an overcomer. The same offer [to guide your life] still stands," (Introduction). This statement is the overarching problem with this book; the Bible is not about you or me or how we can transform our lives. The Bible is about Jesus Christ. However, Mr. Ramos wrongly focuses the reader on himself and Jacob: "Next time you find yourself like Jacob...," (He Prepares A Way, Day 15).
The Bible shows us God's Covenant of Redemption through His Son Jesus Christ, but rather than seeing Jesus through the Old Testament promises, Mr. Ramos falsely claims that "[i]f you really take the time to look at Jacob's story you'll see a common theme appear over and over again. God always gave Jacob more than he was expecting," (More Than We Expect, Day 25). Again, the author misses the Old Testament foreshadowing of Christ when he states that "[i]t's in these trials that Jacob's story offers us a quiet hope. God knows what He is doing with your story. As simple as it may sound, it is also one of the most powerful truths in the Bible," (Our Quiet Hope, Day 30). No one living today has his life story in the Bible because ultimately, the Bible is about Jesus: "But these [Scripture] are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name," (John 20:31). The Bible also shows Christians how live a holy, godly life in order to be conformed to the image of Christ: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works," (2 Tim. 3:15).
The book of Genesis is a narrative story. Christians do not look to Jacob to be more like him because Jacob is a sinful man in need of God's saving faith just like you and me. Christians read about Jacob because he is part of the Abrahamic lineage that would bear the promised Seed [Jesus Christ] from Genesis 3:15. The author misses the fact that God has spoken to us by His Son (Heb. 1:1-2) because in his 30-day devotional, he only uses the word 'Jesus' in 3 days: Justice Verses Love (Day 16 prayer); God Loves Works in Progress (Day 22), and Inevitable Pain, Unstoppable Promise (Day 24); and he uses the word 'Christ' in 3 days: At Our Weakest (Day 2), God Loves Works in Progress (Day 22), and Uncovering Our Identity (Day 29). Christians overcome the trials of life by daily taking up their cross and following Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of the Christian faith, (Heb. 12:2). Looking to Jacob for the answers as we struggle with life and our own sin-nature is a fruitless endeavor, and ultimately, a waste of time.
Mr. Ramos gives a Bible reference for his audience to read each day. However, it would have been more helpful for the author to actually write out the verses he is discussing. Instead, he gives a brief summary of the verses filled with his own private interpretation and speculation on the emotional state of the individuals as well as their motivation. For example, in At Our Weakest (Day 2), Mr. Ramos recounts the story of Esau selling his birthright to Jacob. In retelling this event, the author muses that Esau forgot to plan ahead and was frustrated and that Esau had done this many times before. However, the Bible simply states that "Esau came from the field, and he was faint," (Gen. 25:30). The author elaborates on the Biblical text by using his own imagination and human reasoning where the Bible is silent. If the author had taken the time to write out the Scripture, his speculation would be evident. Mr. Ramos admits that he is speculating on Day 6: "We can guess from this passage what Jacob must have been feeling: anger, depression, frustration, and hopelessness." But the Bible tells us that the Word of God is Truth, (John 17:17). There is a serious warning for all men who want to alter the Bible: "For I [Jesus] testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy from this book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall ad unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life," (Rev. 22:18-19).
The most disturbing aspect of this 30-day Devotional is the author's subtle implication of the doctrine of Open Theism ("The belief that God does not exercise meticulous control of the universe but leaves it open for humans to make significant choices--free will--that impact their relationships with God and others. A corollary of this is that God has not predetermined the future. Open Theists further believe that this would imply that God does not know the future exhaustively. Proponents affirm that God is omniscient, but deny that this means that God knows everything that will happen," Theopedia.com). This belief is evident in the following statements:
* "The way God fulfills his promises to us is often unglamorous. He does not rain down fire or boom advice from heaven. Instead, he guides us softly and quietly. Like a chess player carefully placing each piece, anticipating what is to come," (The Frustrating Path to Fulfilled Promises, Day 8).
* This monumental frustration was all for Jacob's good. Remember Jacob's story when it seems like God is far away. He is not far. Instead, He is moving the pieces exactly to where they need to be," (The Frustrating Path to Fulfilled Promises, Day 8).
* "But then we also see Jacob fending for himself, seemingly by himself. These periods of Jacob's life in which God seems absent are a reminder that we are capable of changing our situations," (Solving Our Own Problems, Day 10).
* "Yes, God is the one in control and allowing or blocking certain difficulties to come into our lives. But he is also watching and giving us room to succeed or fail," (Solving Our Own Problems, Day 10).
* "God equipped Jacob with an incredible creative mind. When Jacob found himself in a difficult situation he used his creatively [sic] to solve the problem and achieve his freedom," (Solving Our Own Problems, Day 10).
* "At this moment God intervenes," (When God is With Us, Day 11).
* "There is this idea that because God allows evil in this world it must be one of the tools He uses...But we find that not to be the case...You see, God does not work with evil. He works in spite of evil," (Through And In Spite Of, Day 20).
* "We don't just serve a God who is sovereign; a sort of heavenly chess player who is shaping the world towards His purposes," (The Character Of Our Creator, Day 23).
Ironically, in his chapter Half-Time (Day 17), the author actually admits the sovereignty of God in Jacob's life: "Everything in Jacob's life happens or doesn't happen by God's hand." However, as shown above, he overwhelmingly implies than God is not always sovereign.
Due to Mr. Ramos's additions to the biblical text based on his own speculation, his promotion of the false doctrine of open theism, and his exhortation to look to self rather than Jesus, I cannot recommend Escaping with Jacob to any Christian. The author's triteness in his epilogue, Continuing the Journey, is the culminating evidence that this devotional lacks substance for the serious Bible student: "The one lesson from Jacob's story that I will never forget is this: God loves messes."

This book paints a more complete picture of Jacob, son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, father of the 12 tribes of Israel (and a daughter, Dinah, frequently overlooked).
Most Bible readers will remember than Jacob was Esau's twin; persuaded Esau to trade his birthright as elder son for a bowl of stew; deceived his blind father into giving Jacob the blessing meant for Esau; ran away to his Uncle Laban; served seven years for Laban's younger daughter Rachel, only to find her sister Leah in his marital bed; served another seven years before actually getting the bride he wanted; had 12 sons and one daughter with his two wives and their two handmaids; returned to Canaan, where he reconciled with his brother; gave a splendid coat to Rachel's older son, Joseph, which led to Joseph's brothers selling him to slavers; thought his favorite son was dead for twenty years, until a famine sent his other sons to Egypt to buy food, where they did not recognize their long-lost brother ...
Mr. Ramos follows Jacob's physical and spiritual journey, from birth to burial, through 30 daily devotionals. Each has a moral for believers today. How should we be like Jacob? In what ways should we learn from his mistakes and his weaknesses? Find out by Escaping With Jacob.

I really enjoyed getting to know Jacob's life story through these 30 devotionals. David Ramos made the devotional interesting and thought provoking. Looking forward to the next 30 days exploring how Job's life story can influence me and make me a better Christian.

Escaping with Jacob by David Ramos – Learn to see God and Jacob through new eyes
Recently author David Ramos asked if I would be interesting in reading his 30 day devotional, Escaping with Jacob, which he is rereleasing in September 2016. After reading his devotional Climbing with Abraham I was excited for this opportunity.
I found David’s devotional on the life of Jacob very insightful and encouraging. I must confess I tend to view Jacob through cynical eyes and see his faults and failings before I see his growth and changing character. Seeing God at work in the life of Jacob, a man who was deceitful and scheming brings me hope. God took this man and changed not only his name to Israel (which means God prevails), but grew and changed him. The change isn’t instantaneous; but over the course of a lifetime, Jacob grew into his new name Israel. David reminded readers that God is not afraid of the messiness of our lives.
David also keeps the reader focused on God. Who God is and who He’s revealed Himself to be in the Bible, and in Jacob’s life, and how we can know with certainty He is our faithful and trustworthy God. The One who is to be feared and reverenced for He alone is awesome.
This summer, I’ve been reading through the book of Genesis as I prepare for a fall Bible study. I’ve studied Genesis in-depth twice, so I’m familiar with Jacob. Reading David’s devotional Escaping with Jacob was perfect timing. I learned to see Jacob through new eyes and to marvel at God working in our messy and broken lives in a deeper way.
If you are going through a period waiting and aren’t sure what the Lord may be doing in your life, or you are facing huge obstacles you can’t overcome, or your life is very messy, I would encourage you to read David Ramos’ devotional Escaping with Jacob. Find encouragement as you see how God worked in the life Jacob.
I would have like to have seen David present the Gospel message and tell readers how they can be saved from their sins through Christ and His perfect atoning sacrifice on the cross. There were a few things I disagreed with about David’s interpretation about Jacob. Also, David mentioned “authors of Genesis” and it’s my understanding that Moses was the sole author under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
I would like to thank David Ramos for the opportunity to read Escaping with Jacob in exchange for an honest review. I was under no obligation to give a favorable review.

Escaping with Jacob, by David Ramos, is a rich devotional about the patriarch Jacob. There are thirty devotionals considering snippets of Jacob’s life. Each shares an element of Jacob’s narrative, interprets it, and gives an application. The devotion ends with a Takeaway, which is a summarizing thought, and a Prayer, which asks for God to implement his Word in our lives.
The story of Jacob is our story. His name means deceiver, and he lives out his name—dividing his family and bringing consequences on his life. However, even in the midst of his failures, God continually comes after him—pouring grace upon grace on his life. God eventually changes his name to Israel—the one who wrestles with God and prevails.
Ramos said this about Jacob’s story:
“The story of Jacob is the story of an unveiled patriarch. Jacob is perfectly imperfect. He makes mistake after mistake and his entire, difficult life is laid bare for us to see in the pages of Genesis. But it’s because of the story’s brutal honesty that we can have hope.
God doesn’t want veiled versions of His children. He knows the real us, He made us. He knows the temptations we fall into, the bad choices we seem to habitually make, and He knows that our first response when these things happen is to run away from Him.
But Jacob’s life shows us the better option: to run towards God. At every turn, God was there protecting, guiding and forgiving. God was reaching out for Jacob even as Jacob was running away from Him…The story of Jacob is a story of becoming – how one man transformed from an escape artist into an overcomer. The same offer still stands.”
Escape with Jacob is a hope filled devotional. It tells us that wherever we are and wherever we have been somehow fits into God’s perfect plan of making us into his image. Let’s Escape with Jacob and become the overcomers God has called us to be.

God uses our weaknesses
We hear the words author David Ramos uses to tell the story of Jacob, words like deception, broken, and pain. These certainly tell Jacob's story. But, other words are woven into the tale also. These are blessing, dream, and promises. David Ramos does a masterful job of portraying the story of a flawed man who God uses mightily in spite of his flaws. Jacob's story gives us all hope that we, also can be used by God regardless of our imperfect proclivities.

Great read
If you need encouragement, this is the book for you. Jacob was more often a mistake artist than anything else, but he also believed God could still use him - and He did. Ramos does a masterful job of weaving Jacob's story with an abundance of practical application.
