, 1993

Overview

Wiersbe's "Be" Series on the Old Testament—Practical, devotional, and concise describes the "Be" series. Each of these mini-commentaries contains a wealth of practical insight into God's Word.

Whether we like it or not, God's people are expected to be soldiers. The Book of Joshua tells us how to be victorious soldiers and how to claim our rich spiritual inheritance in Jesus Christ. It tells us how to be strong and courageous as we face our enemies and march forward to claim new territory for the Lord.

The author of Be Strong believes the church needs the message of the Book of Joshua more than ever. Christians today often look more like prisoners of war rather than the mighty and triumphant army God intended us to be. This resource provides insight on Joshua's methodology in leading God's people into war and ultimately into the Promised Land.
