Joshua

The book of Joshua was written in 1405-1390 B.C. and the purpose of this book was obedience to God being the Key to a success-filled life with the theme being possessing the Inheritance. Joshua is basically a blood and guts kind of story, too violent for a G rating but to inspiring to overlook. While the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt other people settled on their land, this meant the homeland was home to more than one group of people. That is never good. So the Hebrews had to fight to get their land back. The book of Joshua is a record of these battles. Joshua was actually the name of the person who led the Hebrews into battles. He was a soldier, a diplomat, a negotiator, and a strategist. He was a good man who believed God even when the odds were stacks up so high against his people that almost everyone was too scared to press forward. Joshua was a real hero. Over and over God showed the Hebrews that it takes as much courage to believe in the power of God as it does to fight under your own power. When you believe the results are better each and every single time.
