Nehemiah: The Man Who Rebuilt Jerusalem

Jerusalem lies in ruins. Her citizens are taxed, used, and oppressed in every way, by local and foreign rulers. Her altars are neglected, her houses and walls are piles of rubble, permitting jackals and thieves to enter in.When Nehemiah, cupbearer to king of the Persian empire, hears of these atrocities, he is shattered. Soon, however, he is prompted by his God to leave the safety of the Citadel and go rebuild the City of David. From the moment he arrives, enemies try to stop him.Attempts on his life increase, when local authorities realize Nehemiah has the support of the people.Made governor of Judea, he enacts widespread changes, forging ahead with the wall, but when opposing armies arrive to stop them, he arms every laborer with a sword in one hand and a trowel in the other. All Jerusalem watches, prepared, while they work.With grit, bravery, and unwavering obedience to God’s will, Nehemiah strives to rebuild Jerusalem, one stone and one soul at a time. In the process, his own understanding of God, and his compassion for his fellow man, grows, leading him on a journey he never expected.Read more
