Truth for Today Commentary: Numbers

Like the Israelites of old, Christians are traveling through life dealing with daily struggles and longing to reach the Promised Land. The Book of Numbers chronicles Israel's ancient journey, offering divine insight into the problems caused by their disobedience, weak faith, and discontent. Coy Roper analyzes what the text says and what it meant to the first readers, and then takes the next step of applying the lessons to readers today who want to live for God and spend eternity with Him in heaven. For those who preach and teach, the applications contain a variety of illustrations, sermon ideas, and sermonettes, as well as full-length sermons that survey the hook.

"My hope and prayer is that this commentary will enable someone to understand the Book of Numbers better and will inspire him or her to serve God more faithfully. Whatever good comes from this book, may God get the glory!"
