The book of Nehemiah records the restoration of Jerusalem's walls, but the account also provides insight into prayer, obedience, leadership, perseverance, community, and the character of God.
The Sword is a 52-day devotional that follows Nehemiah's experience from his initial response to Jerusalem's condition through the rebuilding of the walls and the spiritual renewal of the people. Each day's reading examines a portion of Scripture, considers its historical and theological significance, and connects the passage to questions readers encounter in everyday life.
The devotionals address subjects including discerning God's direction, responding to difficult circumstances, dealing with criticism, exercising patience, confronting injustice, maintaining integrity, and remaining faithful when circumstances become discouraging.
Each entry also includes six elements designed to encourage reflection and practical application.
The Sword can be read independently or alongside The Trowel, which examines the leadership and organizational lessons found throughout Nehemiah.

A look inside
Excerpt
Fifty-two days from now, the circumstances around you may look exactly the same. You may still have the same job, live in the same house, deal with some of the same people, and carry some of the same responsibilities you carry today. But look what God would have built in you?
