On Jordan's Stormy Banks: Lessons from the Book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy is perhaps the last book in Scripture that most Bible readers select for in-depth study. However, the book of Deuteronomy holds many of the levers for understanding the entire biblical corpus and has even been described as the theological center of Scripture. On Jordans Stormy Banks explores these claims, as well as how Deuteronomy addresses our deepest human longings. For all those who have ever stood on the far shore of lifes river banks, forever casting a wishful eye to some promised land, this book offers a bridge of hope. James E. Brenneman, influenced by his own travels and travails through the Sinai desert, guides readers across the spiritually barren, dangerous silent void of life's desert wanderings. With humor and honesty, On Jordans Stormy Banks walks the in-between spaces of life to the rivers edge and encounters with God.
