Digital Logos Edition
The Face2Face series provides a close-up look at the lives of important biblical figures, making connections between the ways God worked in their lives and how he’s at work in yours. More than detached, historical overviews, these practical volumes reveal how everyone—then, and now—fits into God’s plan. In this upgrade, Paul Mackrell looks at the life of Esau, asking what modern Christians can learn from his negative example. In Face2Face with Jeremiah, pastor Roger Ellsworth overviews the ministry of Jeremiah, “the weeping prophet,” calling Christians to make a similar stand in a world that’s turned its back on God. These books are well-organized, clearly written, and include discussion questions for further reflection.

The Scriptures label Esau as a model of godlessness, so why should Christians study his life? Paul Mackrell says, if we are to avoid Esau’s example, we must know what made him so offensive to the Lord. Mackrell examines Esau’s self-reliant and passionate character, showing how he sums up all that we admire in our heroes today—and drawing us to humbly assess our own lives lest we develop the same traits. Esau was an ordinary man, and his example is a powerful and relevant warning to us all.
Paul Mackrell is a civil servant living in London, England. He is the author of Opening Up Jonah.
God enlisted Jeremiah to confront the people of Judah with their sins, call them to repentance, and assure them of God’s judgement if they ignored his warning. Known forever after as ‘the weeping prophet,’ Jeremiah remained faithful to his task—despite incredible suffering in the many years of his ministry. His life is a powerful testimony to Christians today, who are called by the same God to stand for him—even as they see more and more people abandoning the things of God.
