Regular price
€22.99
A 20-unit interactive Bible study of Joshua’s arrival in the Promised Land. The life of Abraham and God’s promises to him plus Moses’ leading a weary bunch of grumblers in the wilderness become familiar.
In the action novels Shepherd, Potter, Spy—and the Star Namer (2015) and The Star Namer and the Unchosen (2019), Consolver introduces a family of potters among the Gibeonites of Joshua 9 & 10 who post spies over Jericho, becoming eyewitnesses to the conquest. Each unit contains four parts: Bible, Bible Places, Research, and Expressing Yourself. Visit the “Bible Places” through map exercises, YouTube links, Satellite Bible maps, and virtual tours, etc. Research inquiries range from “How to Sling a Slingstone” or “Braiding a 7-Cord Rope” to choosing among “Thirty Amazing Fortresses” featured in Popular Mechanics and finding out more. Students will gain confidence in expressing themselves through describing how they perceive the characters, the story, or the assignment. Any age Bible student will relish this study. All ages will more clearly see, hear, and feel the action in Joshua’s saga by engaging with two brothers Keshub and Eskie, young Gibeonites who meet Joshua and become believers in the Most High God of the Hebrew Bible.

After years of teaching Sunday school, coaching Bible bowl teams and reading through the Bible chronologically, the enigmatic Gibeonites of Joshua 9 and 10 ignited the author’s quest to learn more. Building upon her background of having grown up in a large family on a wheat farm in southwest Oklahoma, she added years of research including participating in archaeological digs in Israel at the biblical sites of Ai in 2010 and at Shiloh in 2017. Standing on the mount of Gibeon, and also on the Hill of Evil Counsel in Jerusalem where the second story takes place, enabled her deep point of view of a large Late Bronze Age family in Canaan and of Joshua’s report from the southern campaign in the Promised Land. The Gibeonites’ eyewitness accounts and this interactive study will take you there with her. Peggy resides in Plano, TX.[
