Pastor Stephen Davey takes the reader on an exciting biographical journey through the life of this ancient hero of the faith. This work is a chapter by chapter exposition intended to motivate believer's to complete the tasks God's gives them.
Emphasizing expositional preaching, Stephen Davey is an influential pastor, professor, and author living with his wife, Marsha, in Cary, North Carolina. Serving as pastor-teacher at Colonial Baptist Church since founding it in 1985, his pulpit ministry is extending around the globe through the media/radio ministry, Wisdom for the Heart. Stephen is also president and founder of Shepherds Theological Seminary, where he serves as professor of Biblical Exposition and Pastoral Theology. He and Marsha have four grown children and three grandchildren.
Stephen Davey preaches through Nehemiah. And I mean it just like that - the writing is basically a transcribed series of sermons from Pastor Stephen Davey (Senior Pastor of Colonial Baptist Church in Cary, NC, where I am a member), which means it is well done, insightful, Scriptural, convicting, intense, amusing. It also means it reads like a transcribed sermon, which isn't always the best in terms of grammar, flow, and formatting.
Like other great preacher's sermon texts, the spoken sermons have a greater impact than the written word. Not there was anything wrong with the book. It was well worth my time, with the advantage of the written format to allow indexing, research, review, and rereading.
