Here is a safe and strong pair of hands to guide new and older readers through the treasure and the uninspiring bits of First Kings. Rev Dick Lucas The Proclamation Trust LondonRobust thats the word a robust understanding defence explanation and application of First Kings as the Word of God. Here is no First Kings in my own words the boring fruitless fate of most commentaries on Bible History but a delicious feast of truth proof that the ancients were right to call the historians prophets.Dr Alec Motyerthis exposition enables the contemporary reader to breath the air of 1 Kings relive its challenges and above all to encounter the personally the God who speaks and acts throughout its pages. This is a book to unsettle spiritual complacency and challenge us to a deep integrity in our relationship with the living God. David Jackman The Proclamation Trust London |
