You Can Make a Difference in Tough Situations

"In war there is no substitute for victory." - General Douglas MacArthur

God isn't looking for volunteers, because every Christian is a soldier in the army of the Lord. Some are "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" while others are AWOL or casualties on the battlefield of life.

Joshua was one of God's early soldiers on the winning side. Thrust into leadership when Moses died, Joshua took to heart God's instructions about the keys to victory. Putting fear aside and realizing the Lord was his true source of strength, Joshua became God's instrument for bringing the Israelites safely into the Promised Land.

As you study the Book of Joshua, you will learn:

• The secret of victory over the enemy
• How to turn defeat into victory
• How to claim your spiritual inheritance now
• The dangers of being a "borderline believer"

This review is from: Be Strong (Joshua): Putting God's Power to Work in Your Life (The BE Series Commentary) (Paperback)

long i had searched for a study on the book of joshua (out of personal reasons), and so my heart leaped as i saw it in a bookshop. i immediately bought it. it was worth every €.

what i like on the book:

* on the whole: sound doctrine, balanced and biblical
* pulls information on the person joshua out of the biblical
text and context
* describes the parrallels between the entering of the promised
land for the israelites back then, and in our days through
jesus christ. (joshua-jeshua)
* it renders clear how a personal walk with god can get boosted
through radically submitting every area of life to our maker.
* brief and contentful, not a scholars review, everyone can read
it. seems to be written by someone who knows what is worth
mentioning

dislikes:

* at times a bit too war-promoting ?
there is definitely a time/place/setting for reading books on
discipleship, peace and love, but also a time for such a book.
especially in our occidental 21st century culture and
its "christianity"

* a few repetitions ( on special details that the author
emphasizes) which are not really a minus but help to remember
things worth being remembered.

on the whole i am really thankful that wiersbe took a lot of work off my back, for i would have studied the book of joshua on myself deeper otherwise, but now he already pointed to some very interesting details, i feel much more at ease now, feeling like i understand the purpose of this book of the bible, and also now everytime i read the study bible notes in the book of joshua i somehow have the feeling of knowing more than the bible comment :)

great book.

This is an excellent book to help in the study of the old testament Bible book of Joshua. The author points out many similarities to events happening today in the church. In this study book of Joshua, you will learn that God wants us to seek Him/His face everyday for the guidance/direction in our lives.
