Joshua
Description
Following closely on the heels of the Exodus story, the book of Joshua recounts the mighty acts of God as he fulfills his promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is, quite profoundly, a testimony to God's faithfulness. Written by a pastor to aid pastors in their preaching, and for their churches in their reading, this accessible commentary guides readers through the history of Joshua's rise to power in Israel and God's leading of his people into their promised "rest" in the land of Canaan. With warmth and wisdom, David Jackman ultimately points readers to the true hero of Israel's story: God himself.
Part of the Preaching the Word series.
