FOB: Jeremiah & Lamentations

The Death of a Dream and What Came After.
Jeremiah was set aside to be the prophet to the nations. Set apart to be a
voice that was not afraid to stand up for sharing the message of the Lord to
those aiming headlong for judgement. There are responsibilities for those who
belong to God. However God still loves his people even when they have sinned
against him. We are reassured that hope can be found even in times of
suffering. Lamentations tells Jerusalem's story of suffering, starvation, and despair,
till finally the walls are breached, the survivors deported, the goods looted
and the city torched.
It is a pleasure to commend this fine piece of commentary writing by " Michael Wilcock. Over the years he has produced many commentaries on both
Testaments, including some fine examples in the BST series. Here he has lost
none of his touch as with sure-footed exegesis, spiritual insight and elegant
writing he tackles the difficult books of Jeremiah and Lamentations. All Bible
readers will profit from reading these books with a sympathetic and
knowledgeable guide. However, they will also be of great use to preachers who
will find themselves stimulated, enlightened and emboldened to tackle these
often neglected books in the company of an experienced and erudite
preacher. - Bob Fyall
