THE STORY OF FOUR PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED ONE OF THE GREATEST POLITICAL COUPS IN HISTORY. The Old Testament features the stories of thousands of characters; many of whom struggled to walk the path of God and others who denounced his ways and turned to evil. We can learn from all of them, but with Finally in the Land, part of the MacArthur Old Testament Study Guides, the stories of Rahab, Deborah, Gideon, and Ruth are the focus. By learning about the historical period in which they lived and how their individual personalities affected the world around them, you�ll gain a deeper understanding of the overtaking of Canaan and the judges of Israel.
