Giants Before Us: The Canaanite Nations and God's Judgment
$37.00$27.00
When most people read the Bible, they tend to skip over the names of ancient nations like the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites. These tribes seem like footnotes in history—mysterious people who lived long ago in a land far away. But if we pause and look closer, we find that their stories reveal something profound about the character of God, the seriousness of sin, and the message of grace woven through all of Scripture.
This book is about those nations—especially the Amorites—who were judged by God during Israel’s conquest of Canaan. They were not ordinary enemies. They were giants in the land, powerful and deeply entrenched in idolatry and wickedness. God waited patiently for generations, giving them time to turn from their evil. But eventually, their sin reached its full measure, and judgment came.
Why did God drive them out? Was it just about land? Or was it about something far deeper—about God’s holiness, justice, and His plan to preserve a people through whom the Savior of the world would come?
As you read through these pages, you’ll discover that this is not just a story about ancient tribes and distant battles. It’s a mirror held up to our own world—a world still filled with rebellion, compromise, and spiritual confusion. Just like the Canaanites, modern cultures exalt false gods, sacrifice truth for pleasure, and mock the idea of divine judgment. And yet, the same God who judged sin in the past still offers grace today through Jesus Christ.
Each chapter in this book explores one aspect of the Canaanite nations’ history, culture, and judgment, drawing lessons for us today. You’ll learn about their gods, their strength, their downfall, and what their story reveals about the God who rules over all nations. Most of all, you’ll see that God is not only just—He is merciful. The giants of sin and rebellion can still fall when hearts turn to Him in faith.
May this book challenge your mind, stir your heart, and renew your awe for the God who judges righteously—and saves graciously.
