ALC Recommends: "There is More" by Dr. Randy Clark

“Caleb drove out the three groups of Anakites—the descendants of  Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons of Anak. From there he went to fight against the people living in the town of Debir  (formerly called Kiriath-sepher). Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the one who  attacks and captures Kiriath-sepher.”

Joshua 15:14-16 NLT

“The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place  and rest a while.” Many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by  themselves.” 

- Mark 6:30-32 ESV

“They answered Joshua, “Because it was told to your servants for a  certainty that the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you—so we feared greatly for our lives because of you and did this thing. And now, behold, we are in your hand. Whatever seems good and right in  your sight to do to us, do it.” So he did this to them and delivered them out of the hand of the people of Israel, and they did not kill them. But Joshua  made them that day cutters of wood and drawers of water for the  congregation and for the altar of the Lord…”

- Joshua 9:24-27 ESV

“At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and that they lived among them. And  the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day…” 

- Joshua 9:16-17 ESV

“But the people of Israel did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the  congregation murmured against the leaders.”

- Joshua 9:18 ESV

“So the men took some of their provisions but did not ask counsel from the  Lord. And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them,  to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.” 

- Joshua 9:14-15 ESV

ALC Recommends: Winning the War in Your Mind by Graig Groeschel

“As soon as all the kings who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country  and in the lowland all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the  Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the  Jebusites, heard of this, they gathered together as one to fight against  Joshua and Israel.” 

- Joshua 9:1-2 ESV

“But Joshua commanded the people, “You shall not shout or make your voice heard, neither shall any word go out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.” On the seventh day, they rose early, at the dawn of day, and marched around the city, in the same manner, seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times. And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets,  Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city." 

- Joshua 6:10, 15-17 ESV

“So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the  people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout,  and the wall fell down flat so that the people went up into the city, every  man straight before him, and they captured the city.”

- Joshua 6:20 ESV

“And just as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Lord went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord following them. The  armed men were walking before the priests who were blowing the  trumpets, and the rear guard was walking after the ark, while the trumpets  blew continually.”

- Joshua 6:8-9 ESV

“So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the  ark of the covenant and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’  horns before the ark of the Lord.” And he said to the people, “Go forward.  March around the city and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the  Lord.”

- Joshua 6:6-7 ESV

“You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days. Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. And  when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound  of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the  wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, everyone  straight before him.”

- Joshua 6:3-5 ESV
