Reforming the Heart

A 40-Day Devotional on the Book of Ezra

Beschreibung

What happens when a covenant people, chosen and blessed by God, turn their backs on Him? The Book of Ezra tells the powerful story of the Jewish exiles, a people who lost their land and temple due to disobedience, yet were graciously restored by God's sovereign hand. In this engaging 40-day devotional, Steven R. Martins, founder of the Cántaro Institute, guides readers through the historical account of Ezra, exploring its profound relevance for today. More than a chronicle of ancient events, Ezra offers a vision of renewal for God's people, revealing timeless truths about repentance, perseverance, and the redemptive purposes of God. This devotional uncovers the deeper connections between Ezra's narrative and the gospel of Christ. It invites readers to see how the restoration of Jerusalem foreshadows the church's mission to rebuild and thrive amidst worldly opposition. Whether you long for spiritual renewal, seek to rediscover the church's missional calling, or desire to build faithful community, Reforming the Heart provides wisdom and encouragement for the journey. Perfect for personal reflection or shared study with family and friends, this devotional will inspire you to listen to the Spirit's voice and embrace the transformative power of God's Word.
