Go to the capital city of just about any nation, and you’ll find the faces of founding fathers etched into marble and limestone. But it’s not uncommon for some of the most influential people to be overlooked. They may be obscure but effective nonetheless. Alistair Begg reminds us about the unrecorded heroes in Nehemiah’s day.

God's Work, God's Way, Volume 1
The people of Israel returned from exile and joyously rebuilt the temple, but joy gave way to discouragement as the city of Jerusalem lay in ruins. Enter Nehemiah: a gifted leader moved to action by compassion for his people and concern for the glory of God. But the Book of Nehemiah isn’t a tutorial on leadership. It’s the record of God’s faithfulness to His people as He equipped them to do His work for His glory. In Volume One of this series, Alistair Begg explains that God accomplishes His purposes through His people as they depend on the resources He provides. We see the significance of prayer in the life of the Church, the vitality of God’s Word as it realigns our hearts, and the necessity of taking practical steps to achieve what God has called us to do. God’s people must remain unified and committed to the task that God has given, secure in the conviction that God’s work done in God’s way will display God’s glory.
