The book of Joshua is the story of the Israelites conquering the Promised Land. That's just the plot. The crux of the story is how the Israelites will keep the faith alive. How will the ragged crew, having lived in the wilderness for 40 years, summon interest in reviving their parents' and grandparents' faith, and the promises God made to another generation? They do. Look to Joshua to show us how we today can keep alive kindled by people who went before us. (53pp. Faith & Life Press, 1999.)
