The Old Testament 7: Judges

After Joshua's death, the tribes of Israel continue their conquest of the southern regions of Canaan, but they are unable to cleanse the land thoroughly of its native inhabitants. God declares that these remaining people will be an impediment to Israel's enjoyment of the promised land.

I pray with my whole heart that these readings will be a blessing and an inspiration to many."
