The Books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth: Courage to Conquer (The Passion Translation

Rate this book
The books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth recount the compelling journey of Israel's beginnings and awe-inspiring history. Watch God's people transition from wanderers to conquerors as told by The Passion Translation®. Begin with the book of Joshua, which reveals the secrets of conquest and details jaw-dropping victories and devastating defeats. Then study the rich portraits of the various men and women who distinguished themselves as champions of faith, challenging the status quo in Israel when they had neither a king nor a prophet to lead them. Conclude with the book of Ruth and its enchanting love story. See mercy triumph over judgment, famine lead to harvest, and despair transform into delight. This triad of Old Testament books reveals God's sovereignty and assures us that we have the courage to conquer and will overcome the impossible for his good purposes. Do not yield to fear nor be discouraged, for I am Yahweh your God, and I will be with you wherever you go! Joshua 1:9

An awe some written history

I bought my Passion bible between Christmas and New Year and shared a little with my wife, who immediately wanted one for herself , so we did get her one as soon as possible. And now a month later have spend many hours enjoining this wonderful translation. It is so fresh and so clear .... And the footnotes so helpful and interesting! So we both can strongly recommend this bible to anyone

TPT fan

I love the Passion Translation so much! It opens up Scripture in such a refreshing way. It's been a pleasure to read these three OT books in TPT. Hoping for more OT books in this translation!

I love the Passion Translation of the Bible.
These three books were a true delight to read.
Even the footnotes were interesting.
My favorite thing about this transliteration of the Old Testament is how clearly Jesus is seen in the ancient words!
Can't wait for the next book.

New perspective on old scripture

Really value and love the footnotes in TPT. They not only help to understand the scriptures, but also bring them along with deeper contexts and themes.

I love The Passion Translation for readability and ALL THE FOOTNOTES.

Also, Ruth is the most beautiful story ever. I read it every day for about a month and every time I read it, I saw something new and lovely about my own Kinsman Redeemer, Jesus.
