The book of Joshua is an epic. Conquest, battles, scandal, tribalism, deceit, land registration and farewell speeches all make up this remarkable narrative. Some of the episodes are well known, other sections are largely passed over. However behind all the twists and turns, highs and lows is the God who makes and keeps promises. The book of Joshua is profoundly relevant for today and needs to be declared faithfully in its entirety. To be repeatedly reminded through the pages of Joshua that God is faithful to his promises and sovereign over his people, guiding them by his powerful word to his promised rest, is truth we must never tire of hearing. The book of Joshua has also been a battlefield on which the Christian faith and particularly the Old Testament has been attacked by new atheism, therefore digging deep into Joshua will strengthen and resource people to stand firm amidst such opposition. Teaching Joshua is a great addition to the growing ‘Teaching the Bible’ series. Doug Johnson has done a brilliant job of both guiding the reader towards the main thrust of each passage whilst not overlooking the detail or the various complexities. Teaching Joshua will be a great aid to those who have the privilege and the joy of preaching or teaching this particular book. Whether you are a small group leader, preacher, youth worker or someone who simply wants help with their personal Bible study, this book will help you to understand and communicate the message of Joshua.

The Joshua Diet Playbook is the missing component from all other diets. It's not about eating better or exercising more. That really has very little to do with it. In order to create the lean and healthy body you desire, you must first create certain beliefs that are aligned with your desire. If your beliefs do not match your desire, you will have great difficulty manifesting and maintaining whatever it is you want. This is why diets don't work. The Joshua Diet Playbook volume one covers the first 13-week transformation period. It is designed to help tune your beliefs so that they will match the lean and healthy version of you. These written exercises performed daily will create a powerful sense of focus. When you are focused on what you want, not only will it help you achieve a better-feeling body, but by approaching life in a new way, you will receive everything else you want as well. Your body, as it is now, is a reflection of your overall set of beliefs about yourself, the world around you, and your place within it. When you alter your beliefs, your body will take a new shape to reflect these beliefs. This is why traditional diets cannot work. You might be able to lose a few pounds by sheer will power, however the results cannot last unless you have made the necessary changes to your belief system. By following the prescribed activities in this playbook, you will slowly develop new and more empowering beliefs. You will start to think about yourself in a new way. You will perceive the world around you differently. Your interactions with friends, family and all other people will improve. Everything will become clearer and brighter. Your perception of the world will be transformed by your new sense of focus and purpose. As a result, your body will return to its natural and healthy state of being.

THE JOSHUA TRAIL, the second book in The Joshua Trail Series, begins where SIX NOTCH ROAD left off. Eli Lynne is determined to end his quest for the elusive Jules Joshua despite risking the loss of his wife's love and the good life. With only rumors, tall tales and a string of back shot dead men to guide him, Eli heads to Mexico to see Jules dead and cut the last notch into his gun handle. Meanwhile, Stella begins plotting her revenge for being scorned. She knows she can hire a man to be killed for a bottle of good whiskey. She sets aside $10,000 to see Eli killed and have it done well." ... Eli Llynne had been right all along. Jules Joshua was not dead, he was in Mexico. Jules, as Eli had been, was befriended by the hard rock miners of Hornitos who thought they were rendering assistance to one of their own. Jules could talk mining lingo and they accepted him as a miner who had experienced a bad cave-in. Jules blamed the death of his brothers on "Mexican claim jumpers" and weaved a tall tale about how he had fought them off despite interference from Eli Llynne. Since Eli was unconscious, Jules story went unchallenged - until he robbed and shot the doctor who was attending him ..."" ... The horrors of the potato famine that had caused Stella's family to leave Ireland had permanently warped her soul. She had seen friends and relatives die of starvation and had vowed it would never happen to her. She had endured the terrible Atlantic "coffin ship" passage as a young woman and had known what it was like to huddle in the cold, damp darkness below the decks of the stinking overcrowded ship. She had walked among human excrement and wallowed in vomit. She had endured the vituperative scorn of those who despised her people.Stella had never known what is was like to be a child ..."" ... Jules did not take his eyes off of Maria for a second. He took his new Colt from his belt and lay it on the table in front of him. He pondered where he would place the shots that he would use to kill Juan and have her all to himself. A kill shot was to be last, after bullets tore flesh and broke bone to cries of agony. He shivered with pleasure as he thought of how he would take Maria without the slightest smile of consent. He wanted the spit of hatred to ooze on his cheek, feel her fire-red fingernails tearing at his flesh and have her screams echoing in his ears as he took her in his time and for as many times - as it pleased him ...
The book of Joshua has been received and used as Christian Scripture throughout Christian history. The challenge today, however, is how Christians should appropriately continue to read Joshua as Scripture, not least in the light of well-known historical and ethical difficulties with the narrative. In Reading Joshua as Christian Scripture, Douglas Earl draws on conceptual resources offered by recent anthropological approaches to myth and combines this with a close literary reading of the text, in order to argue that Joshua is misconstrued when it is treated as a historical account of conquest. Instead, in its ancient Israelite context Joshua functioned to reshape accepted norms of community identity, as reflected in the book of Deuteronomy, by forming a new “cultural memory.” Furthermore, Earl reconsiders the traditional notion of the “spiritual sense” of Scripture in terms of a rich account of symbol and also makes use of the narrative hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur. The result is a fresh and unexpected reading of Joshua as Christian Scripture that develops the original function of the narrative in a way that resonates with classic premodern readings and is also challenging to contemporary Christian understandings of identity and faithfulness.

Description: Many Christians wrestle with biblical passages in which God commands the slaughter of the Canaanites-men, women, and children. The issue of the morality of the biblical God is one of the major challenges for faith today. How can such texts be Holy Scripture? In this bold and innovative book Douglas Earl grasps the bull by the horns and guides readers to new and unexpected ways of looking at the book of Joshua. Drawing on insights from the early church and from modern scholarship, Earl argues that we have mistakenly read Joshua as a straightforward historical account and have ended up with a genocidal God. In contrast, Earl offers a theological interpretation in which the mass killing of Canaanites is a deliberate use of myth to make important theological points that are still valid today. Christopher J. H. Wright then offers a thoughtful response to Earl's provocative views. The book closes with Earl's reply to Wright and readers are encouraged to continue the debate. Endorsements: "There is no doubt that the Bible-and the God of the Bible-are saturated with reams of violence . . . and nowhere more frontally than in the book of Joshua. Douglas Earl wades boldly into the problem of reading Joshua theologically. He brings to the task the rich resources of the Christian tradition and the best of current hermeneutical possibilities. The outcome is a rich, suggestive approach that invites deep rethinking of how we read such texts responsibly. His book is a welcome voice in an important, vexed, unfinished conversation." --Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary, USA "This sophisticated but plainly written study is eye-opening even for highly practiced readers and teachers of Scripture. Taking on one of the most difficult cases in the Bible, Earl offers guidance for discovering the truth of Scripture without sacrificing critical acumen on historical and ethical matters." --Ellen Davis, Duke Divinity School, USA "Douglas Earl aims to revive 'spiritual' or symbolic readings of Joshua, going back to Origen, but refined in the light of modern anthropological understandings of myth and symbol. This is a timely and illuminating book, written with the highest regard for Scripture, and I commend it warmly to all who are exercised by the problem of violence in the Old Testament." --Gordon McConville, University of Gloucestershire, UK About the Contributor(s): Douglas Earl did his PhD on the book of Joshua at the University of Durham. He is author of Reading Joshua as Christian Scripture. Christopher J. H. Wright is an Old Testament scholar and the Director of the Langham Partnership
