They not only possessed religious authority but also exercised political control. This book gathers and assesses the surviving evidence about each of the fifty-one men who served as high priest from about 515 BCE until approximately 70 CE when the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Following closely on the heels of the Exodus story, the book of Joshua recounts the mighty acts of God as he fulfills his promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is, quite profoundly, a testimony to God's faithfulness. Written by a pastor to aid pastors in their preaching, and for their churches in their reading, this accessible commentary guides readers through the history of Joshua's rise to power in Israel and God's leading of his people into their promised "rest" in the land of Canaan. With warmth and wisdom, David Jackman ultimately points readers to the true hero of Israel's story: God himself. Part of the Preaching the Word series.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Biblical characters like Joshua, Caleb, and Rahab come alive, and their experiences of faith, tragedy, and triumph are made real. Joshua was twenty when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. He became a minister to Moses, and before he died, the great Prophet Moses anointed Joshua to lead the people to the promised land. Joshua must overcome self-doubt and uncertainty through faith and trust in God's plan. He becomes a leader who is greatly feared and also loved. He takes sixteen-year-old Tal into his care after the young man's parents perish in a landslide. Tal is not yet of age to join the warriors of Israel on the battlefield but is commissioned to remember all he sees. He becomes Joshua's minister, and they share a passion for fulfilling God's allocation of the territories to the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Joshua's first task is to take the people across the Jordan River and seek victory at the Battle of Jericho. Tal witnesses the incredible fight and accompanies Joshua on to Ai, Makkedah, Libnah, and all the places God promised to the people. Over the years, they encounter ferocious battles, miracles, and personal triumphs and defeats. Finally, after many bloody victories, Joshua and Tal reach the place of Joshua's inheritance, Timnath Serah, in the land God allocated to the Ephraim tribe. They make a home and build a welcoming city in the shade of majestic oak and cypress trees. Joshua seeks peace within his soul and strives to live out his remaining life with his family, never giving up hope for God's chosen people. This story is based on historical events, times, and places. The characters are actual and imagined.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Joshua: A Story of Biblical Times depicts the life story of Joshua, relating the biblical account of Moses and the subsequent Exodus, and entry into the Promised Land for the Israelites._x000D_ "Bai, the second prophet of Amon, who acted as the representative of the aged and feeble chief-prophet and high-priest Rui, went into the holy of holies, the throng of inferior servants of the divinity pursued their various duties, and the frenzied mob rushed through the streets of the city towards the distant Hebrew quarter. As the flood, pouring into the valley, sweeps everything before it, the people, rushing to seek vengeance, forced every one they met to join them. No Egyptian from whom death had snatched a loved one failed to follow the swelling torrent, which increased till hundreds became thousands. Men, women, and children, freedmen and slaves, winged by the ardent longing to bring death and destruction on the hated Hebrews, darted to the remote quarter where they dwelt. How the workman had grasped a hatchet, the housewife an axe, they themselves scarcely knew. They were dashing forward to deal death and ruin and had had no occasion to search for weapons—they had been close at hand."_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
