Jacob El Hanani

Jacob El Hanani

Adam Kirsch

Rizzoli International Publications
2021
sidottu
Jacob El Hanani (b. 1947) was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and was raised in Israel. He produces highly intricate works through the painstaking repetition of miniscule marks, often Hebrew letters repeated thousands of times using ink on paper or canvas. He draws these images without magnification. The end result is a work of extraordinary detail that appears to be a pattern from a distance and speaks of the passage of time and the link between the microscopic and the infinite. Inspired by Albrecht Durer and minimalism, El Hanani practices the ancient art of micrography, in which tiny calligraphic letters are repeatedly drawn to create abstract designs. Jewish scribes used this technique to transcribe holy texts. El Hanani sees his work as part of this continuum and himself as a champion of the handmade.

Letters of Jacob Burckhardt

Letters of Jacob Burckhardt

Jacob Burkhardt

Liberty Fund Inc
2001
sidottu
Burckhardt was the most renowned of the historians of the nineteenth century to predict, with astonishing accuracy, the totalitarian direction that history could take -- and which history in fact did take in the twentieth century. It was in his letters, rather than in his lectures or longer works, that Burckhardt most directly addressed the currents of intellectual thought and social and political order -- or disorder -- of Europe in the nineteenth century. It was in his letters, for instance, that he warned that these currents portended the rise of a new kind of demagogue unique to the modern era. Such demagogues would, Burckhardt feared, respond to the complexities and confusions of modern life by becoming 'terrible simplifiers', marshalling masses of people into totalitarian regimes for simple solutions to complex challenges that would wreak havoc upon numerous countries and millions of lives. Not only are the letters addressed to some of the most important thinkers of the time (Nietzsche, Burckhardt's younger colleague at the University of Basel, among them), but also they address the most pressing issues and the most important personages of the era.

nidottu
Jacob & Esau's War takes you through the last four thousand years of two brothers' struggle for the Father's love. One wanted to obey the Father - at any cost. The other wanted to take the place of the Father - at any cost.This struggle began when two real brothers wanted their father's blessing - the blessing given to their father Abraham by God. One brother stole the birthright of the other - but the older brother gave it away freely, at first despising it, but then later claiming that his birthright was stolen from him. They are twin brothers who have been at war with each other since they were inside their mother's womb - good and evil at battle from creation - this is really the story of the world. It is also God's ultimate plan for His people.This epic story may sound familiar, but may not end the way you think. Come join this wild ride through history, and on into this present day - and even further. An End Times story you won't want to miss Beyond The End touched on the possibilities of an End Times scenario, based on a few facts, but mostly imagination. But Jacob & Esau's War takes you deeper - into a very real possibility, based on current events and researched expert projections.

Jacob's Plan

Jacob's Plan

Peter David Shapiro

Penlane Press
2019
pokkari
Jacob Morais is just a normal kind of guy. He enjoys his life, with no big worries and certainly no dark forebodings of the kind that torment tinfoil-hatted survivalists. Then comes the shocker, the election of a dangerous buffoon as US president, a grotesque incompetent who's manifestly unfit for office. Foreseeing wide scale disaster, Jacob stores emergency supplies in his basement and buys a gun. Meanwhile back in his day-to-day world he is recruited by an old friend to join her hot e-commerce start-up. When evidence surfaces that sketchy Russian investors are using the start-up as a front, Jacob agrees to help his friend expose the investors' criminal scheme. The investors are suspicious and homicidal and Jacob's life is on the line. It's not the collapse of public order for which he prepared but it has the same imperative: Do what you must to survive.

The Book of Jacob

The Book of Jacob

Jacob Grovey

Global Genius Society

The world of poetry can be quite pretentious. Many times, we will read prose from writers who would like us to believe they are not flawed. They talk to us about subjects as if they've mastered them all. Often, it actually seems some poets condescendingly "talk at" their audience instead of "talking to" us. "The Book of Jacob" does not fit that mold. This collection is a journey similar to what many of us have experienced in our lives. Sadness is in an emotionally epic game of tug of war with happiness. Just when we think we've found love, we discover we've found heartache. When we reach points of being ready to give up, a higher power tells us why we shouldn't. We are all perfectly imperfect and accepting that is what "The Book of Jacob" is all about.

Jacob's Encounter With GOD

Jacob's Encounter With GOD

Vinu V Das

Tabor Press
2025
pokkari
This book explores the transformative encounters Jacob had with God, which not only shaped his personal journey but also laid the foundation for the nation of Israel. Through dreams, visions, and direct confrontations with the Divine, Jacob's story reveals God's purpose, guidance, and the power of spiritual transformation.The book begins by establishing Jacob's significance in biblical history, tracing his journey from a man known for deception and struggle to one who wrestles with God and emerges with a new identity-Israel. His encounters with God are examined in detail, each marking a crucial turning point in his faith and destiny.The first divine encounter occurs at Bethel, where Jacob dreams of a ladder reaching heaven, symbolizing God's presence and promise to bless him. This dream reassures him of God's covenant and sets him on a path of faith. Later, in Haran, Jacob experiences another divine revelation, reinforcing God's guidance and protection in his life.The most intense and transformative moment comes at Peniel, where Jacob physically wrestles with a mysterious figure-God Himself. This struggle leads to his renaming as Israel, signifying his transition from a self-reliant man to one who prevails through God's strength. Finally, at Bethel, Jacob encounters God once more, reaffirming his calling and the promises given to his forefathers.Each encounter is analyzed in terms of its purpose, its spiritual significance in Jacob's life, and its relevance for believers today. The book draws practical applications, showing how Jacob's struggles and faith journey mirror the challenges faced by Christians in their walk with God.In the appendices, the book delves into the theological connections between Jacob's experiences and the broader biblical narrative. It explores how Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of Jacob's ladder, serving as the bridge between heaven and earth, and examines the identity of the Angel of the Lord who appeared in Jacob's life.Ultimately, Jacob's Encounter with God: The Beginning of Israel is an invitation to reflect on God's transformative work in our own lives. Just as Jacob was changed through his encounters with God, readers are encouraged to seek deeper faith, surrender to God's will, and embrace the spiritual identity and blessings God has for them.
