Exploring the Old Testament: the Pentateuch

Read this book and discover just how applicable these letters are to your church and to your daily life.

Deuteronomy can seem rather formidable at first sight, but it is actually one of the most important books in the Old Testament.

As in the days of Haggai, excuses for apathy are shamelessly voiced, blind eyes are turned to the judgements of God, and defiled hearts sink into unfaithfulness. And yet the LORD Almighty remains faithful to his people and true to his word. Through repeated trials he calls the backslider to repentance, with timely encouragements and gracious promises he strengthens the downhearted, and for his own glory he transforms the sins of neglect and ignorance into the servants of his purpose.

Both prophecies are a revelation of God’s character and his moral government of the world - a revelation that contains a message of hope, comfort and encouragement for every Christian: ‘The Lord reigns forever!'
