Book Description

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.
