Gerard Troise’s King Josiah: A Heart in the Hand of God artistically portrays the life of King Josiah Dolphins Cordrea Tankersley Jersey , the man who reinstated faith and God’s blessing to Judah and Jerusalem, restored the temple of Jerusalem, and found the Book of the Law, which had been missing for many generations, bringing God’s wisdom and guidance back to his people. Troise honors the great ruler of Judah through his work and sheds light on someone about whom we are given little information.
At the outset of the story Dolphins Raekwon McMillan Jersey , Troise describes his efforts to help readers to understand the significance of King Josiah in the land of Judah; “Within the broad scope of old testament history, King Josiah has but three and a half brief chapters dedicated to his thirty-one-year reign on the throne of Judah and Jerusalem, yet few historians have fully grasped the tremendous significance of his contributions, for without him, the five books of the Mosaic Law themselves and other prophetic writings may well have been forever lost to us.” King Josiah assumed the throne at the tender age of eight Dolphins Charles Harris Jersey , following his father, King Amon’s untimely death-which was brought about by placing his trust in man and his advisors who manipulated him, rather than placing his trust in God. King Amon’s rule brought idolatry and the immorality of prostitution and other lewdness that accompanied it back to Judah, destroying the moral fiber of the nation and precluding the people from God’s blessing, which ultimately resulted in times of drought and hunger.
