Called to Rebuild: The Restoration of the House of God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780966974713)

Over 2,500 years ago a Jewish remnant returned to Jerusalem after 70 years of Babylonian captivity to rebuild the house of God, which had been laid waste by Nebuchadnezzar. They faced opposition and countless challenges. Sometimes the task seemed impossible. But God never gave up. He wanted a restored Temple, a rebuilt wall, and a repopulated city where he could once again dwell among his people.As we read the New Testament we see glimpses of the glory of the first-century church. But even then, in the decade leading up to the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., the church had already begun to lapse into a period of decline.But as in every generation, God is a God of restoration. With the parallels concerning the spiritual condition at the time of the remnant and that of the church today, what better books could we turn to than the "remnant books" of Ezra and Nehemiah, along with the other related books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi to gain insight into what God would have to say to his church today?Called to Rebuild examines these precious books and draws application for those who would be the spiritual descendants of that remnant in this generation, . This book is for those who have a heart to rebuild and see the church in our day become what God has always intended for it to be
