THOUGH HIS JOURNEY IS TANGLED WITH DECEIT, HIS PASSION FOR GOD SEEKS A NOBLER PATH...  
  
Twin boys emerge from the womb, the second gripping the firstborn's heel. So begins the lifelong struggle of Jacob with his older brother, Esau. A prophetic vision claims the dominance of the younger over the older, but such a prediction goes against everything in the ancient tradition. Must Jacob take the initiative to fulfill the prophecy and help God accomplish His purposes?  
  
When Jacob's trickery leads to outright deceit, the result is a downward spiral of deception, betrayal, and animosity. Will Jacob succumb to his own ambition or will he finally trust the God he encounters at the very gate of heaven?

Much-loved storyteller Gilbert Morris turns an imaginative pen to the lives of the patriarchs. Combining extensive research with an action-packed and skillful plotting, Morris creates believable scenarios in which his fictional characters parallel their biblical counterparts.   
  
The Gate of Heaven follows the dramatic journey of Jacob, from deceiving his brother and being deceived in his choice of wife, to his life-changing encounter with God. Meanwhile, Jacob's only daughter, Dinah, buys a slave who is actually an aristocrat from Crete. Will he come to love Jacob's God as well as his daughter?
