Ezra and Nehemiah: A Review

This is  a new book written by  Jiri Moskala-it  may be used as a companion book to the Bible Study Guide on Ezra and Nehemiah that many are studying in this 4^th quarter of 2019.  The book also stands alone as a good study on these two Old Testament books.

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah begin with great expectations and hope.  God intervened in human history, and wonderful things started to happen.

Sometimes we may overlook parts of the Old Testament which we are not so familiar with. Just recently my wife and I read through the Old Testament in the Easy English Clear Word Bible. If you are having a challenge with the Bible, I encourage you to read this delightful paraphrase as well as use helpful books like this one entitled Ezra and Nehemiah.

Some excerpts from the introduction to this book:

The God of Ezra and Nehemiah is alive and real. He is the Lord of history and intervenes favorably with humankind because He loves us and cares for our well-being. Ezra and Nehemiah experienced this favorable intervention, and both testify that ‘the gracious hand’ of their God was on them. Like these leaders of old, we also observe how God has worked in history and are drawn to His incomparable love and providence.

In spite of the calamities that befell Israel because of the nation’s transgressions God’s people experienced His love and mercy.

The God of Ezra and Nehemiah, Israel’s Leader and Lord of the universe, dwells with those who are humble and repentant in their attitude toward Him and seek to follow His principles.

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah are precious jewels and deserve careful study. Like shining diamonds, they will bring joy to those who value them
