No other book in the Bible compares with the wonder of the sacred collection of inspired worship songs known as the Psalms. Considered by many to be the most loved portion of Scripture, the Psalms have been a bedrock of comfort and a tower of strength for believers in every experience of life. This is the second of two volumes in the Holman Old Testament Commentary given to the Psalms, that provide commentary on Psalms chapters 76-150. Some of the key Psalms receive an added in-depth treatment that includes exposition, illustrations, and teaching plans. - http://www.christianbook.com
Twenty-first century children crave something new and fresh. What better way to give them what they want than to introduce them to a book of the Bible that typically is not included in Sunday school curriculum? The walls of Jerusalem had been destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC. The walls were still in ruin 140 years later when Nehemiah came to Jerusalem. Upon hearing that the wall of Jerusalem was down and destroyed, along with the gates being burned down, Nehemiah cried. He mourned, fasted, and prayed for days, seeking God on what can be done to fix this problem. He was so upset because he cared for the people, and Jerusalem was the holy city of the Jewish people. With the walls being destroyed, this meant that the city of Jerusalem was wide open to intruders, and the people were left defenseless without the wall for protection. God used Nehemiah to accomplish the task of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. Nehemiah had many leadership qualities, such as being concerned for others and self-sacrificing. He put aside his life and his job as being cupbearer to King Artaxerexes to fulfill God's purpose. This book is an interactive series that contains skits, games, crafts, puzzles, memory verses, inductive study questions, and fun activities. The Nehemiah curriculum teaches children about making the right choices and how to find real treasures in life.
Expository Bible-study guide to Nehemiah. The book of Nehemiah chronicles a key moment in the history of God's people: the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem after the return from exile.

It teaches us, ultimately, about Jesus and his mission. A pastor with decades of experience in cities, Dr. Eric Mason unpacks this rich book verse by verse. He explains the context, gives plenty of application for our lives today, and shows us what it looks like to get involved in God's work to build his kingdom.
