With the expertise that comes from a long career of carefully reading Scripture, Arie Leder provides an insightful reading of the Former Prophets, situating them amidst themes developed in the Pentateuch and wrestling with how the church can hear them as Scripture, today. Leder develops a biblical theology for all of us seeking rest in our restless world. This book is a gift full of wisdom for the church. --Andrew Heyd, International Graduate School of Leadership, Manila, Philippines In this sequel to Waiting for the Land, Leder produces a compelling biblical theology of the Former Prophets that highlights the centrality of the 'rest' motif. It ends with an insightful hermeneutical discussion that identifies the church as a desert community called to long for God's promised rest while facing increasing challenges from post-Enlightenment Western culture. Teachers and ministers will greatly benefit from this book. --Wilson de Angelo Cunha, LeTourneau University
