Why Get This Book

For the Bible reader who gets lost in all the kings and wonders what it means for today. Iain Provan reads 1 and 2 Kings as one story inside the whole Bible, in light of the prophets and the New Testament, and as a narrative written to teach us about God and His ways. He traces themes like God's promises and how they come true among His people, and makes Kings easier to follow. Good for small group leaders and serious readers. Honest note: it's a commentary, not a devotional, so you'll get more out of it with your Bible open beside it. Next step: read 1 Kings 8:56.
