Functional Dysfunction: Rachel and Leah
Functional Dysfunction: Rachel and Leah is a practical biblical workbook that invites readers to examine their own lives through the experiences of Rachel, Leah, Jacob, and Esau. Drawing from the book of Genesis, Keith Copeland explores how family conflict, unhealthy thinking, jealousy, favoritism, distrust, poor choices, and broken relationships can shape a person’s life. Rather than focusing on condemnation, the workbook encourages honest self-reflection, personal responsibility, and lasting transformation through Scripture.
Designed for both individuals and group settings, each chapter combines biblical passages with thought-provoking questions, guided reflection, relevant Scriptures, and prayer. Readers are encouraged to identify patterns that may be preventing personal growth, understand how past experiences influence present behaviors, and develop healthier emotional, relational, and spiritual habits.
Originally created to help individuals involved in or affected by the criminal justice system, the workbook is equally valuable for anyone seeking restoration, stronger relationships, and a deeper understanding of themselves through God’s Word. The emphasis is not on labeling people as good or bad, but on recognizing that while everyone makes mistakes, positive change is possible.
With more than four decades of experience as a licensed psychologist and years of pastoral ministry, Keith Copeland offers a compassionate, Scripture-centered resource that inspires readers to pursue healing, restoration, forgiveness, and positive function in every area of life.
