When Nehemiah arrived in Jerusalem in 445 BC, the walls and the spiritual life of the Jewish people were in a sorry state: everything had to be rebuilt.

But the task is immense, and the obstacles numerous, how to go about it?

This book follows step by step the great work of God for the restoration of his people, through the service of Nehemiah, exemplary for us even today.

He creates a certain path where all those who wish to participate in the edification of the Church, in its consolation , and the advent of the Kingdom of God will be able to engage with zeal and conviction. In the face of poverty or the failure of many lives, there is hope for renewal: in listening to the Word and returning to God, the promise of repairing what has been destroyed by evil comes to life. , and nourishes the faith of those who cling to it.

Both practical and alive - it comes from sermons given at Mission Timothy - this commentary will be suitable for those who seek an accessible and faithful explanation of this marvelous text. They will find in it the depth of a rich pastoral approach rooted in the reality of our needs.
