The Book of Ezra: A Story of Provision and Protection (Daily Bible Reading Series 5) Kindle Edition

The Book of Ezra: A Story of Provision and Protection by Deborah H. Bateman is a Daily Bible Reading Study of the book of Ezra. The book of Ezra is found in the Old Testament of the Bible. After seventy years of Babylonian captivity God commissions King Cyrus to write a decree allowing the Jewish people to return home for the purpose of building the second temple at Jerusalem.

God is faithful to provide all their needs and protect them on their journey and throughout the process of the building of the temple despite the opposition and their own disobedience.

Each lesson consists of a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scripture, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. The Book of Ezra: A Story of Provision and Protection is a great Bible study for personal or group Bible study.

For those of you interested in Bible journaling, may I suggest you pick your favorite Bible verse from each lesson and journal about it. This will be a great reminder of the lessons you learn as you read and study this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Study to Dig Deep Into the Old Testament!
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2012

Sometimes I hear people say that reading the Old Testament is boring. However, God speaks through His Word to us powerfully through the Old Testament. And Deborah, the author of this book leads us through the book of Ezra and helps bring it to life by applying it to our own lives as well as digging deeper into the scripture.

There are 17 lessons total and I like how she formats each lesson as follows:

*She starts with an introduction to the lesson.
*Then, posts the Bible scripture reading for that lesson.
*Next she has a section, "Things to Think About" which offer reflection questions for personal study or group discussion.
*And she closes with a short prayer that you can personalize if you choose.

She also includes a few pictures and a map to help bring even more clarity to the study. This is a great study for both individuals and groups - recommended!

This is an interesting book. I am so glad that I have it in my possession. How many folks really look at the book of Ezra? Well, here is your chance. Any biblical writing that promotes provision and protection has my vote. A must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learned about Ezra
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013

I see this author has written a collection of books with the same cover, just different title. Not that familiar with this story in the Bible, and rarely taught. However, I took some passages from the book for my virtual ministry teaching on DYRP Midnight Hour to share with listening audience and also playback on iTunes.

I also loved the photo illustrations concerning the ancient Israelite horned altar used as sacrifice. I was able to finish it in one sitting. She not only told the story per chapter in layman terms, but provided scriptural readings that the story derived from and then a prayer in which we can do if we related to that chapter in our lives.

I got this book when author offered a free copy via Kindle.

Dedication
The Book of Ezra: A Story of Provision and Protection is dedicated to all the men and women who became before us to ensure that the cause of Christ was passed down from generation to generation. I am so grateful for them. The sacrifices they made preserved the canon of Scripture and laid the foundation for us to continue to worship God freely in our present-day churches. May their dedication and determination give us the courage to persevere for the LORD.
My humble thanks also goes to God for His provision and protection of them and of us, His followers today. I would like to invite you to join the Facebook page for The Book of Ezra: A Story of Provision and Protection

What I loved about this study is that it is easy to understand and do...
not too long yet enough to learn more about Gods Word!!!

There are 47 pages in the e-book study and I wish I had it in print but, it is a great study that would help anyone from younger years and up. New Christians and old Christians too.

No matter where you are in your walk or just beginning your walk this study will BLESS you beyond measure.I learned more then I thought i would and HIGHLY recommend this study and ALL the studies she has written.
May Yahweh continue to use you Deborah to bless others by sharing His word.
In Jesus Name Amen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bible study on Ezra
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2012
This is a daily Bible Reading aid (or Bible study) for the Book of Ezra in the Old Testament. I would recommend it more for Christians who have studied the Bible for a while. This one is not a study I'd recommend for new Christians or those unfamiliar with reading the Bible.
The Israelites had been given the blessing and temporal goods from the king of Persia (Artaxerxes) to return to Israel and rebuild the temple which had been destroyed when the Babylonians took the Israelites captive. When Ezra arived there, he found that the remnant who had stayed in Israel had intermarried with the Canaanites, who led them astray to worship other gods.
In this study, Deborah Bateman strives to give readers a deeper look into God's purpose and Ezra's leading. Insightful questions at the end of each lesson guide the student into an analysis of his or her own life and how an impulsive action outside of God's will could lead to hurt to those around, including to those we love.
