“Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lᴏʀᴅ your God is with you wherever you go.” —Joshua 1:9
From famous battles and miraculous river crossings to detailed distribution of land among the tribes, the book of Joshua follows the people of Israel as they arrive in the long-awaited land promised to their ancestors. As they took possession of Canaan, God continually reminded them of His faithfulness in their past, their present, and their future. Over four weeks, we’ll explore what God’s allegiance to both His promises and His people meant for Israel and what it means for us. The book of Joshua will remind us to reflect on God’s goodness and celebrate His faithfulness, because He is with us wherever we go. 6.5x9, perfect bound, 152 pages 28 days (4 weeks) of Scripture readings—right there in the book An introduction to the book of Joshua An exploration of the book of Joshua in the context of Old Testament history An introduction to reading Old Testament historical narrative An exploration of key moments of remembrance in the book of Joshua A comparison of the stories of Rahab and Achan A map of the twelve tribes of Israel A look at the connections between Joshua and Jesus Weekly reflection prompts Two favorite hymns IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE FORMAT OF THIS BOOK: This book includes the Joshua: Remember & Proclaim reading plan, along with a written introduction and many other helpful elements throughout, many of which are exclusive to this Legacy Book.
