About the Book:

Book: Leaders, Nations, & God

Author: Marta E. Greenman

Genre: Non-Fiction, Christian Bible Study

Release Date: September 19, 2013

LEADERS, NATIONS, AND GOD invites readers to a six-week journey to explore the Bible’s message for the nations of the world, their leaders, and for Christians who live as citizens of those nations. By focusing on the biblical history of Israel and the United States, the reader discovers the nature of true, faithful leadership and the consequences when a leader compromises, as well as the sorts of nations that God may bless. Marta E. Greenman helps readers understand how scriptural principles apply to nations and to individuals alike.

By asking and answering these questions, the paths of humble obedience for individuals and nations become clear.

Each day’s study begins by encouraging the reader to write their prayer before they begin to examine the biblical history of Israel and/or the United States. The reader gathers insights from scripture to bring understanding of God’s ideal for nations and leaders. Questions dig deeply into lessons from the Bible, history, and the influences on one’s own life. Each day’s study comes with highlighted “Questions to Ponder” and ends with prayer.

If you find yourself drawn to explore God’s will for nations and individuals, if you wonder what biblical obedience might look like in your daily life, then Leaders, Nations, and God will meet your need for a study grounded in the Bible and focused on God’s desires for His people.

More from Marta

What a profound statement made by George Santayana, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” As Christians we need to learn those who have gone before us. In Leaders, Nations, and God we look at the history of the Children of Israel and America’s Founding Fathers to become men and women who understand the time and know how to navigate the troubled waters of today. We look at questions like “Who does God consider to be a leader?” What kind of nation does the Lord bless?” “Did America’s Founding Fathers really set up our country on Judeo-Christian values?”

I found this study to be quite interesting and filled with lots of historical facts. I love history and learned many things I didn't know about figures that shaped our nation. The biblical stories were nice to read and I liked how the author included scriptures that shows us what God's word says about leaders. From the beginning God planned for Adam and Eve to rule over the earth. We know that plan didn't quite work out. When we don't listen to God, there are consequences which Adam and Eve found out about.

The study is designed for six weeks. There are scriptures to look up and questions to answer to help you retain what you have read. I enjoyed reading about Abraham and Moses to name a few. Their leadership was well defined in the study and I thought the author did a nice job of tying the study together. I especially liked the week about Thomas Jefferson.

Overall I liked the study but will have to say I need to spend more time on it. I did read through all of it, but I want to go back and really do all the homework to get the benefits of the study.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
