Near the end of World War II Jacob and his parents were stranded on a remote farm in Africa when he contracted diphtheria. Wheezing through a blocked throat, he became weaker by the minute. Suddenly, a doctor made a surprise stop at the farm. He saved Jacob’s life with an emergency tracheotomy—a godsend! This expression of God’s love planted the seed of service to God in Jacob’s mind. He bought a Bible with gift money and started a long relationship with God and His Word.
Jacob studied Greek, Hebrew, psychology and theology. After serving as pastor for a few years, he worked as pastoral counselor at a clinic for addicts for twenty-five years. His research at the clinic earned him a doctor’s degree.
After retirement Jacob continued working as a part-time counselor for several years. Then God showed him the next step: sharing his Bible studies with others. He has finished a trilogy of daily Bible studies recently: The Yearning of Yahveh (about the Old Testament), The Yoke of Yeshua (about the four gospels), and The Yeast of Yerushalaim (about the rest of the New Testament). The whole Bible is explained to the whole world, one page per day.view less
