Strong and Courageous: Studying God's Promises in Joshua

By Donna Snow

Book Overview

Awarded 2025 Bible Study Book of the Year by the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, Strong and Courageous draws courage for today's battles from God's promises in Joshua.

Joshua's story is more than an ancient account of conquest and conflict. It is a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness as He leads His people from wilderness wandering to promised rest. In this eight-week Bible study, Donna Snow combines historical insight, biblical scholarship, and practical application to help readers discover how God's promises in Joshua still strengthen believers today.

Journey alongside Joshua--from his beginnings in Egyptian slavery to his calling as Israel's leader--and discover how his life points to Jesus Christ, the true and better Joshua who leads His people into eternal rest. Through verse-by-verse teaching, thoughtful reflection questions, and the signature "Go Quiet, Go Deep" sections, you'll engage deeply with Scripture while applying its truths to your own challenges, fears, and callings.

As you work through this Christ-centered Bible study, you will:

Trace God's promises from Abraham to the conquest of Canaan. Discover what faithful leadership looks like under pressure and uncertainty. Explore difficult questions about judgment, mercy, obedience, and grace. Recognize your own "Jerichos," setbacks, and victories through the lens of God's faithfulness. Learn to rest in Christ rather than striving through life's constant demands. See how Joshua's story ultimately points to Jesus and God's plan of redemption.

Written in an encouraging, conversational style, Strong and Courageous blends rich historical context, theological depth, and practical application for personal or group study. As walls fall, giants are defeated, and God's promises prove true again and again, you'll be challenged to trust Him more deeply and encouraged by the certainty that the God who was faithful to Joshua remains faithful today.
