First Rest - Then Victory: Joshua

First Rest - Then Victory definitely increases one's understanding of the meaning, message, and relevance of the book of Joshua. It is so practical that the reader will find it useful as a personal devotion, but above all, it makes the reader think. And it could be one of the things that helps the reader experience the "success" God promised to Joshua."

When they are in trouble, more people turn to the Book of Psalms than to any other part of the Bible. And not just for consolation, but for insight and guidance. It is a wealth of wisdom for the meek and hungry.

A Very Present Help: Psalms For Today

Written more than 3,000 years ago, the Psalms are as current as our daily newspaper, and as timeless as God Himself. They are His very word to us, both individually and corporately.

Some people may be intimidated by what they suppose is a collection of archaic and irrelevant--and, therefore, obscure--writings. No assumtion could be further from reality. What has been said of the entire Bible may be said most particularly of this Wisdom Literature: It is not so much a difficult book as it is an inexhaustible book. The more often you read it, the more fully you plumb its contents, the more it yields its treasure to you.

But you must read it "on your knees." It hides itself from "the wise and prudent," and has no truck whatever with the wisdom of this world. Again, like the whole of Scripture, it is not addressed to proud "scribes and pharisees," but to believers! Obedient believers.
