[NQP] Strong and Courageous: Studying God's Promises in Joshua

What does it mean to be strong and courageous when the future is uncertain?

Winner of the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association Golden Scroll Award as 2025 Bible Study Book of the Year, Strong and Courageous invites you into a rich study of God's faithfulness through the life of Joshua.

Joshua stood on the edge of the Promised Land facing an impossible task. Called to lead God's people after Moses, he would need courage not rooted in his own strength but in the certainty of God's promises. In this eight-session Bible study, author Donna Snow guides readers verse by verse through the book of Joshua, tracing God's covenant faithfulness from His promise to Abraham through Israel's entrance into Canaan. Along the way, you'll discover how Joshua's account points beyond itself to Jesus Christ—the true and greater Joshua who leads His people into eternal rest.

In this study, you will:

• Explore God's covenant promises from Abraham through the conquest of Canaan.
• Examine Joshua's leadership and what faithful obedience looks like under pressure.
• Study challenging passages on judgment, mercy, sin, and grace.
• Discover how Joshua's account foreshadows the saving work of Jesus Christ.
• Learn to see God's faithfulness at work in both victories and setbacks.
• Grow in confidence that the Lord who kept His promises to Israel remains faithful today.

Drawing from historical research, careful study of Scripture, and practical application, Snow examines Joshua's journey from slavery in Egypt to faithful leadership in the Promised Land. Difficult questions about judgment, mercy, obedience, and God's purposes are addressed with honesty and care, while the study continually points readers to God's grace revealed in Christ.

Through engaging teaching, thoughtful discussion questions, and the signature "Go Quiet, Go Deep" reflection sections, you'll be encouraged to trust God's promises in every season of life.

Whether used individually or in a group setting, Strong and Courageous offers a deeper understanding of the book of Joshua and a renewed confidence in the God whose promises never fail.
