Quotable Quotes

The book of Joshua records one of the most interesting and important portions of Israel’s history. It is the capstone to the books of Moses, the foundation of those which follow. Omit Joshua, and there is a gap left in the sacred history which nothing could supply. — A. W. Pink

As I have studied Joshua, I have become convinced that this is a message very much needed in our time. We have many professing Christians in our day . . . but we do not seem to have many Joshuas. We do not have many who, without trying to be novel or spectacular, determine to obey the law of God in every particular and then actually do obey it throughout a lifetime of faithful service. —James Montgomery Boice

I think the church needs the message of the book of Joshua more than ever before. . . . The book of Joshua tells us how to be victorious soldiers and how to claim our rich spiritual inheritance in Jesus Christ. It tells us how to be strong and courageous as we face our enemies and march forward to claim new territory for the Lord. —Warren W. Wiersbe
