The Powerful Concluding Novel to The Restoration
Chronicles When news that the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and
its
gates have been burned with fire, Nehemiah, Jewish
cupbearer
to King Artaxerxes in Persia, seeks God's guidance. After
fasting and prayer, he's given leave to travel to
Jerusalem
and rebuild the city wall, not anticipating all the
dangers
that await him on his arrival. The leaders of the surrounding nations become his fierce
enemies, plotting to assassinate him and halt the work. A
drought, meanwhile, has left the country impoverished,
many
families resorting to selling their children as
bondservants
just to keep from starving. Capturing the rebuilding of the wall through the eyes of
a
number of characters, On This Foundation is a powerful
exploration of faith in the midst of oppression, and hope
that, in spite of appearances, the gracious hand of God
is
upon those who believe.
