War in the Gates John Parkinson

The reader is transported back in time to the days of the Judges. This book is not written as a verse by verse exposition, but rather as a narrative outline following the compelling and fascinating lives of the Judges. The book of Judges has a relevant message for the twentyfirst century. The ancient Canaanite worldview has made a remarkable comeback in our time, with many in the western world returning to pagan nature worship. Like the Israelites of old, people in our day and generation are choosing new gods - a choice that will bring terrible consequences. Man?s selfish nature and God?s patient kindness are seen within the repeating pattern of unfaithfulness, oppression, repentance and deliverance. Valuable practical lessons are applied throughout, especially on the themes of restoration, treatment of one?s fellow Christians, spiritual warfare, and the coming King.
