With wisdom and sharp biblical insight, John White points to the life of Nehemiah, showing us a man of prayer and a man of action; firm leader and servant of his people; realist and visionary, and above all, man of God.

Commendations

"In my early days in the ministry I preached more sermons on Nehemiah than he needed days to build his wall! I was happy to find that John White had discovered many of the gems I had - and thrilled that he had discovered many more! Super illustrations, spiritual common sense and straight-from-the-shoulder, right-from-the-heart applications cascade through the book. With discussion material at the end of each chapter, this is an excellent book for both individual study and smaller groups." Steve Brady

"This book is ... gripping, relating as it does a perceptive analysis of the challenges facing Nehemiah and his response, to the pressures on anyone aspiring to Christian leadership today. John white's conclusions are the fruit not only of his own acute observations but of his personal experience as a leader who has wrestled himself with the issues raised by Nehemiah's experiences."
