This excellent book, by Mrs. Walton, give much historical and geographical information which enhances the story of Nehemiah and his building of the wall of Jerusalem.
God's lessons remain fresh and living for every generation.
This carefully written account of the life of Nehemiah not only draws lessons from his life but also draws you into his life in Artaxerxes' palace, in the desert and surrounded by enemies at Jerusalem.
“This book may serve very well as a gift to a pupil in a Sunday class who has taken a liking for Biblical history. It is really a study, in sixteen chapters, of the life of Nehemiah, and these chapters partake a good deal of the character of sermons, under such appropriate titles as " The King's Table," " The Sword and the Trowel," "The Eighty-four Seals," " Having No Root," and " The Oldest Sin." Mrs. Walton is thoroughly in earnest, and has studied her subject very profoundly according to her lights. She has also, after her own fashion, made the times of Nehemiah live again, and has contrived, with undoubted skill, to introduce into her different chapters wise and inspiriting sayings from both the old and the more modern or Puritan Fathers.” -The Spectator
