Leading the Way Through Joshua: A Devotional Commentary for Everyone

by Michael Youssef

Overview

The book of Joshua contains some of the most compelling and relevant truths for our lives today. It is the story of "trembling heroes"-people filled with fear who overcame those fears and accomplished the impossible through reliance on God.

In Leading the Way through Joshua, Michael Youssef translates the challenges Joshua and the nation of Israel faced into challenges that are familiar to everyone. God calls people to follow Him, to conquer the Jerichos in their lives, to stand against the idolatry in our land. God calls Christians to tell the world about His covenant love, expressed through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Readers of this devotional commentary will discover how to turn the insights of Joshua into action in their own lives. It will motivate them to step up, to be strong and courageous, to obey God, and to go wherever God sends them.
