With contributions from popular Bible teachers, including Tim Keller, John Piper, Nancy Guthrie, D. A. Carson, and more, this collection of nine biblical expositions walks readers through Nehemiah—a biblical book that powerfully illustrates God's faithfulness. Each chapter recounts part of Israel's return from exile chronicled in the book of Nehemiah, showing how this Old Testament narrative connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption. What's more, this practical volume applies the message of Nehemiah to our lives today, emphasizing the many ways God uses imperfect people to accomplish his plans. Readers will feel encouraged to turn to God in prayer, repent of their sin, and trust in his grace—confident in his gracious plan for the world revealed in Scripture.
