Uplifting and encouraging single sit read
As one might expect this reads as a great homily/sermon on the story of Gideon. Can be read in a single sitting. Explores the virtues (humility faithfulness, courage, and magnanimity)and snares of the man himself and ties it well to other moral lessons in the Bible and anecdotal historical stories. A wonderful expanded analysis for anyone who enjoys or draws inspiration from the Scriptural story.
