ISBN: 0310219558

Jacob spent most of his life striving to grab what he could only receive as a gift from God. Jacob's story is our story--we spend our lives getting better degrees, better jobs, better homes, better relationships, and even a better spirituality. But no matter how much we accomplish, we are never satisfied. Hustling God is the story of our spiritual journey as seen through the life of Jacob. Offering a reflective, biblical look at what it means to accept life as a gift, this book is filled with true anecdotes of men, women, and families like ourselves, who have populated the churches Barnes has served.
