Publisher's Description

▼▲

Timothy Keller's Judges For You walks you through the book of Judges, showing how the flawless God is at work in the most flawed situations and the most failing people.

Combining a close attention to the detail of the text with Timothy Keller's trademark gift for clear explanation and compelling insights, this commentary will both engage your mind and stir your heart.

"Judges has only one hero—God. And as we read this as an account of how he works in history, it comes alive. This book is not an easy read. But living in the times we do, it is an essential one."
- Timothy Keller

Judges for You is a uniquely flexible commentary. It can simply be read as a book; used as a daily devotional, complete with reflection questions; or utilized by anyone who has a teaching ministry, to help small-group leaders understand and apply the text, and to give preachers helpful ways of connecting timeless Bible truths to today's world.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

If you're looking to feel warm and cozy, I wouldn't recommend the Book of Judges. It's a bleak story—a 21-chapter downward spiral featuring deception, oppression, idolatry, murder, gang rape, and apostasy, just to name a few sins. And contrary to what you may recall from that old Sunday school felt board, even its “heroes”—think, say, Gideon and Samson—aren't exactly heroes. The second in a series of expository guides based on the teaching of Tim Keller, Judges for You: For Reading, For Feeding, For Leading (Good Book Company) seeks to help preachers and laypersons alike understand and apply the message of this pivotal book. (There's an accompanying six-lesson Bible study guide for groups and individuals, also based on Keller's teaching, titled Judges: The Flawed and the Flawless.) -- Matt Smethurst (Gospel Coalition reviewer and Master of Divinity student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary)
