Our price: £5, by Clive Anderson (Day One)
A book which traces the rise and fall of Assyria’s most terrifying king, Sennacherib. Using his knowledge of archaeology and the Scriptures, the author weaves a colourful picture of this ancient ruler.
We see how Sennacherib rose to power, how he advanced his empire and came against Jerusalem. We see his arrogance and cruelty and yet his failure to fulfil all he said he would do and his eventual return to his capital and his death. We see what became of his empire and history’s verdict on Sennacherib.
Many lessons are brought out along the way, which are of great benefit. We are caused to all the more rejoice in the God whose kingdom “shall never be destroyed…and shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.”
