Author: Mark E. Petersen
When the Lord decreed that Moses would not lead his people into the Promised Land, the overwhelming responsibility of the leadership of Israel had to be placed upon a man of faith, strength and steadfastness. The man chosen for this important calling was Joshua, son of Nun.
Joshua: Man of Faith tells the story of this Egyptian slave who became a prophet in Israel. It shows the determination of a man who fought against the idolatry, superstition, and faithlessness of a nation to bring it into the choice land promised by the Lord.
”Joshua was a prophet extraordinaire,” says the author, Elder Mark E. Petersen. “Few ever drew nearer to God than did this new leader of Israel. Yet he was a mighty warrior and farsighted governor as well.”
Elder Petersen’s careful study of the many facets of Joshua’s character makes an interesting story from a historical standpoint, but there is much to be learned from Joshua’s experiences also. As the author puts it, “Many lessons were taught in the Lord’s call to Joshua – lessons of faith, courage, endurance, devotion, and keen attention to the detail of the Lord’s commandments.”
This inspiring book may help many to say, as did Joshua, “… as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
