Why This Book Matters for You Today
Many Christians avoid the books of Judges and the Prophets because they seem confusing, harsh, or distant from modern life. But in reality, these books may be more relevant now than ever.
Wisdom from the Past helps you see that the struggles of ancient Israel-spiritual drift, cultural pressure, leadership failure, and misplaced trust-are the same struggles believers face today. This book does not just explain Scripture; it helps you understand yourself through Scripture.
You will discover:
• Why faith often fades slowly, not suddenly • How compromise begins long before collapse • Why God disciplines-not to punish, but to restore • How Christ fulfills everything the judges and prophets could only point toward • What it means to live faithfully in confusing times
This is not an academic textbook. It is a spiritual guide. It is written for believers who want more than surface-level faith. It is for readers who want to grow, reflect, and walk more closely with God.
If you are tired of shallow devotionals and want something deeper-but still accessible-this book will meet you where you are.
