How to Make Your Study of The Bible More Effective and Enjoyable

JOSHUA  had to lean a nation of Israel into the Promised Land.  This was going to be very difficult.  However, Jehovah strengthened and encouraged him by saying:  "Be very courageous and very strong." He told Joshua that if he read and obeyed the Law, then he would make wise decisions and be successful. - JOSHUA 1:7, 8.
