Deuteronomy is perhaps the last book in Scripture that most Bible readers select for in-depth study. However, the book of Deuteronomy holds many of the levers for understanding the entire biblical corpus and has even been described as the theological center of Scripture. On Jordan's Stormy Banks explores these claims, as well as how Deuteronomy addresses our deepest human longings. For all those who have ever stood on the far shore of life's river banks, forever casting a wishful eye to some promised land, this book offers a bridge of hope. The author, influenced by his own travels and travails through the Sinai desert, guides his readers across the spiritually barren, dangerous, and silent void of life's desert wanderings. With humor and honesty, On Jordan's Stormy Banks walks through the in-between spaces of life to the river's edge and encounters with God.
