God Spoke to Them: Character Studies of Old Testament People
By: Peter Williams
The prophecy of Isaiah may seem to be a strange and even difficult place from which to write a book about comfort, but the final twenty-seven chapters are rich beyond compare for those needing encouragement and help.
Written for the people of Israel while they were in captivity in Babylon, the prophecy was given to encourage them that things would not always be so difficult. Despite all their feelings to the contrary God had not abandoned them and the promises he had made to them in the past had not been rendered invalid by their disobedience. He loved his people and would be faithful to them.
The Old Testament has many memorable characters. Some are notable examples of faith in God. The lives of others warn us against following their steps. So in this book we meet people as different as Cain who murdered his brother, Daniel a young man who wouldn’t be brainwashed, Hannah a godly mother, and Caleb a man of conviction and courage.
From their stories – and those of others – Peter Williams skillfully draws out spiritual lessons for today.
Peter Williams, now retired, was the minster of Moordown Baptist Church, Bournemouth. He is the author of Encounters with God.
