The rulers of ancient Israel and Judah form a fascinating mosaic of human frailty. Traditional heroes like David and Solomon had brittle halos, falling prey to hypocrisy and compromise. Others, like Ahab, were shameless in their idolatry and abuse of power. Josiah and a few others led their nations back to God, but couldn't manage to make the changes hold to the next generation. In this study, we look at how God works with us, even in the midst of our own waywardness and weakness. (46pp. Faith & Life Press, 2000.)
