Arising from a forty-year war that cost millions of lives, South Sudan's leaders face the immense task not only of building a nation, but of healing the physical and emotional scars of long-term conflict. In this ground-breaking commentary of the Book of Nehemiah, Bishop Anthony Poggo highlights striking parallels between the Jewish remnant in Jerusalem, and the condition of his own nation, South Sudan, as it emerges from long-term conflict. Bishop Poggo finds Nehemiah of urgent relevance to South Sudan on current issues such as climate change, planning, leadership, reconciliation, spiritual gifts, and community renewal.
