Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Penuel, or Face to Face With God
OF all the thrilling scenes with which the life of the patri arch Jacob is filled, none perhaps is more graphic and cer tainly none more important than the memorable night Spent in prayer and wrestling with his heavenly Visitant. Having sent his family and entire retinue over the brook, he was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking Of the day. In the midst of seeming discourage ments and denials, he persevered till his Victorious faith laid hold of the prize he sought, and the soul-cheering words were uttered, AS a prince hast thou power with God and with men and hast prevailed.
Behold, He that keepeth Israel, shall neither Slumber nor sleep. God is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever and to the heartfelt cry of His children, Tell me, I pray Thee, Thy name, shall come the sweet assurance, God is Love.
