A Nation in Crisis: How the Prophecy of Jeremiah Speaks to Our Culture

by Ray C. Stedman, James Denney (Editor)

Remember. Realize. Return. Beware. These four words summarize God's message through His prophet, Jeremiah, who tried to once again point Judah to the right path. The nation was slowly falling apart, losing its strength and forsaking God, as the people elevated themselves. It was a time very similar to our own. Ray Stedman takes you step-by-step through key passages in the book of Jeremiah, showing how the prophet faithfully followed God and called the people to repentance. For us today, Jeremiah stands as an example—that having faith in the living God can set us free in the midst of a decaying society.

I'm not sure how to rate this book. The author explains the book of Jeremiah very well - he makes the complex understandable. Yet, I found it a bit of a slog for me. It is quite possible my struggle was only because of my current spiritual state - which is a bit desert-like at the moment.

Interesting that I finished the book on the 4th of July. I do feel that the health of the United States and our freedoms are under attack; this book helps explain where that attack is coming from and what the ultimate result could be.

America in the headlines of Jeremiah

Thorough, thoughtful and thankful. Brother Stedman presents a deeply comprehensive understanding of the writing of the prophet Jeremiah. The comparisons to our world are convincing and ultimately redeeming. I’m glad to have read this.

very interesting comparisons!

I believe this pastor has a good grasp o then as well now in that the comparisons can be seen spiritually in what he shares! Thank you pastor Stedman!
