Day by Day Through the Bible: The Writings of Old Testament Historical Books (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781959099635)

Are you able to avoid the mistakes of history?

In Day by Day Through the Bible: The Writings of Old Testament Historical Books, Allen J. Huth explores the Old Testament historical books of Job, Ruth, 1 & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings, and 1 & 2 Chronicles. You'll examine the lives of Israel's first three kings-Saul, David, and Solomon-after learning important life lessons from Job and Ruth.

In the longest volume of Huth's eleven-part series (though easily digested one chapter a day), you'll witness the ups, and mostly downs, of Israel's and Judah's history. You'll learn:

- To avoid worldly temptations if you continue to rely on the blessings of God.

- God allows us to suffer the consequences, or benefits, of our spiritual decisions.

- You may suffer, like Job, for no apparent reason.

- Starting well, like kings Saul and Solomon, is much easier than finishing well like Job, Ruth, and David.

The lives of Job, Ruth, Saul, David, and Solomon show us the importance of staying near to God. If we don't, we're doomed to repeat the mistakes, and suffer the consequences, clearly outlined in Old Testament history.
