A Quick Read...for Unsettled Hearts...in Troubled TimesThe phrase, "yet I will rejoice" was first uttered by a Jewish prophet about 2600 years ago. What makes it astounding ... and particularly relevant for today ... is that he wrote these words in the midst of civil and cultural chaos and demise. Even more incredible, God had just revealed to him that his nation was about to experience catastrophic collapse; everything was about to change in ways that he could never have imagined. Still, in the midst of frustration, angst, and perhaps even horror, he was able to stand and find cause for joy.A...
A Quick Read...for Unsettled Hearts...in Troubled TimesThe phrase, "yet I will rejoice" was first uttered by a Jewish prophet about 2600 years ago. What makes it astounding ... and particularly relevant for today ... is that he wrote these words in the midst of civil and cultural chaos and demise. Even more incredible, God had just revealed to him that his nation was about to experience catastrophic collapse; everything was about to change in ways that he could never have imagined. Still, in the midst of frustration, angst, and perhaps even horror, he was able to stand and find cause for joy.As I write, many are distraught over the prospect of impending doom. We've entered an era that is entirely unfamiliar at least, unsettling at best, and perhaps unnerving for most. This current threat will diminish, but others are certain to follow ... personally and individually, if not nationally or globally.So, how are we to respond? How do we as God's people keep our wits about us while facing the prospect of such gloom and despair?It may surprise you to know that throughout the Bible God's people often lived in dark times of uncertainty and under the prospects of doom. For many, it was the norm rather than the exception. In fact many Christians throughout history have lived in such settings.For many of us, especially in Western culture, it seems we've been spared ... until now. Yet, God has not left us to face these dark days alone.I would like to introduce you to five very special people from the Bible who faced the reality of impending doom and were drawn closer to God. In this series you will find the personal testimony of a desperate prostitute, a terrified and broken warrior, a frantic king, a humble prophet who had seen God, and a frustrated prophet who had challenged God. Yet I Will Rejoice is a series of five books providing the first-hand accounts of Rahab, Gideon, Jehoshaphat, Isaiah, and Habakkuk ... ordinary people like you and me who faced the very real prospect of doom and who came to know, appreciate, and serve God more deeply as a result. Through their ordeals, each one learned essential lessons about God and faith, lessons that transcend the millennia to address our very fears and frustrations today ... lessons that apply directly to those who live in alarming times.Each book gives careful attention to relevant biblical, historical, cultural, and archeological details surrounding the character. It is written in first-person style designed to illustrate the human frailties, fears, struggles, and weaknesses of each biblical character ... but even more, to demonstrate the consistency of God's plan and protection in the midst of fear and uncertainty. In compiling these accounts I have been very careful to make sure the fictitious elements of the stories are entirely consistent with the biblical, historical, and archeological data. Of course there is a level of speculation inherent in such a work, but while I don't present every aspect of these accounts as actual, they are indeed presented as plausible.John Revell, AuthorSMALL GROUP DISCUSSION GUIDE INCLUDEDALL PROFITS FROM THE SALE OF THESE BOOKS GO TO HELP PROVIDE CHAPLAINCY SERVICES TO FIRST RESPONDERS.
