The Prince Protects His City
The Best White Collar Worker in the Bible
A biography-in-verse of Nehemiah, deeply researched and beautifully written.
Nehemiah had the astonishing invitation to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem with a reluctant workforce … and without any qualifications.
But he had the passion from the Lord, and so he did what needed to be done. Honest, energetic, with a deep desire to build and rebuild.
A man who prayed before he acted. A man of simple, short, pointed prayers: earnest intercession for all the people; prayers of protection for beloved Jerusalem; corporate prayers before work; prayers for personal steadfastness in the face of malice; prayers for justice; plaintive pleas before God.
“Think upon me, my God, for good.”
An encouraging, informative book about this overlooked administrator, leader, historian, employee, fund-raiser, governor, and prince.

“Seek the Peace”
As the Lord of hosts commanded,
In Babylon the people
Built houses to live in;
Planted gardens and ate of the fruit.
They married and were given in marriage,
Had children and those children had children.
As with the Israelites in Egypt,
They increased and were not diminished.
The God of Israel said to
Seek the peace of the city
And pray to the Lord for it,
For peace in the city meant
Peace for the dwellers of the city,
Both those voluntary and those forced.
And they waited for the seventy years to end,
When God would cause the people to return
To Jerusalem,
The City of Peace.
