Ezra is rarely if ever preached on. Haggai gets even shorter shrift: if anything, Haggai 1 ispressed into service to encourage a reluctant congregation to give to an ailing fabric fund.But the message of these books, and their emphasis on building for God and the need ofobedience to his Word and openness to his Spirit, is one which needs to be heard clearlytoday.This commentary by Robert Fyall highlights the contemporary parallels of the challenges Israel faced to those of today's church and demonstrates the relevance of the books of Ezra and Haggai for God's people in all times. With passage-by-passage exposition of the biblical text, this resource will be helpful for pastors, teachers and anyone who wants to dive deeper into these seldom discussed Old Testament books.
