Faith in the Face of Danger
An Introduction to the Book of Nehemiah
£10.99
Christians the world over are under pressure, facing difficulties and dangers of all kinds. Nehemiah was raised up to lead God’s people at a critical moment, and the story of his practical realism and courageous faith is vital for Christians today. Providing an overview of the Nehemiah story, this book explains the critical importance of choosing God’s priorities and truly hearing and responding to God’s word. It tackles essential themes for Christian living, including how we can know God’s protection under pressure, how we can build Christian community, and how we must live by God’s standards.
Faith in the Face of Danger is structured with sections and subsections that provide a clear set of preaching units that will serve preachers in building a sermon series but this is also an ideal book for individual or group use with questions, discussion points, ideas for action and further study suggestions.

Jonathan Lamb at his heart-warming, challenging best. Life-changing stuff.
Richard Cunningham

We need sermons that are authentic to the text of scripture, lucid in conveying its truths, and courageous in applying the word of God to our lives today. In the expository ministry of Jonathan Lamb, you will find all of these characteristics, and the sermons contained in this book bear witness to this commendation.

In this book, the message of Nehemiah, which is so relevant for today’s church, is explained and applied with great skill.

Faith in the Face of Danger by Jonathan Lamb bring alive God’s Word in a clear, faithful and relevant manner. It challenges us to live consistent, authentic Christian lives in a morally bewildered and spiritually confused world, with God’s purpose and for his glory. I highly recommend it to you.
