Author Description

Against incredible odds, Nehemiah motivated others to accomplish a remarkable feat -- the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. In this careful study of the biblical example of Nehemiah, Charles Swindoll shows how to overcome discouragement, apply the biblical "bricks" of self-motivation, and answer God's challenge to "rise up and build." Clearly and engagingly, Swindoll tells how to: relate to "a boss who won't budge," cope with unwarranted criticism, help yourself and others through a financial crunch, resolve personality conflicts and strained relationships, balance faith in God and personal planning. - Back cover.
