A revolutionary new offering from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life.In We Who Wrestle with God, Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites. What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction? It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies; and to see ourselves and others as if for the first time. Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience and Jonah confronting hell itself in the belly of the whale because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim, and purpose as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Dr. Peterson through the greatest stories ever told. Dare to wrestle with God.

The Nature of Wrestling with God
In life, many of us find ourselves in a constant struggle, and sometimes, that struggle is with our faith. We Who Wrestle with God captures the essence of this internal conflict. When we question our beliefs, seek answers, and struggle to understand the mysteries of faith, we are actively engaged in wrestling with God. This wrestling can be uncomfortable, but it often leads to deeper understanding and growth.
Lessons from Biblical Stories
Many biblical figures faced moments of doubt and struggle, illustrating the theme of wrestling with God. For instance, Jacob famously wrestled with an angel until dawn, and in that moment, he was transformed. Stories like these remind us that wrestling with God is a journey shared by many. They teach us that it’s okay to confront tough questions, because through these struggles, we gain a better perspective on our faith.
Personal Growth Through Struggles
Wrestling with God isn’t merely an act of doubt; it is a pathway to personal growth. As we confront our questions and fears, we develop resilience and deeper faith. Although the journey can be challenging, it enriches our spiritual lives and helps us to grow closer to God. Therefore, embracing our struggles is essential, because it is through these experiences that we can find peace and understanding.
