The book of Joshua brings to life real history during the crucial period of transition for the Israelites as they settle in the promised land and follow God's direction to found a nation. Modern readers will understand the need for discipline in the face of their new found freedom, the responsibilities of living as a covenant people, and the necessity of continuity while adapting to change. Frances Schaeffer's series of sermons about Joshua and the flow of biblical history stretch readers' minds to understand the historic, spiritual, and intellectual nourishment available for the Christian life through the examples of Joshua and his fellow Israelites. They will also inspire readers to see the hand of God present in all of history, including today.
