Matthew's Reviews > Joshua: No Falling Words

The Old Testament tends to be avoided by many preachers because of the difficulty in connecting its narratives and seemingly sterile passages to modern life, but Davis succeeds in Joshua in bucking this trend. He makes even the apparently tedious passages come alive with truths about our God and his faithfulness to his people. He also brings those truths into the present and provides relevant and interesting application for us today. His scholarly wisdom is clear throughout, but it is his pastor’s heart and ability to explain complex doctrines at the level of the layman that makes this book invaluable as a pastoral resource. For personal edification, as an example of preaching well from the Old Testament, and as an example of how a pastor should engage God’s word, I truly enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it.
