FACE 2 FACE- SENNACHERIB PB

'Face2face Sennacherib': Encountering Assyria's great and terrifying ruler

'Sennacherib' was once a name to send a chill down spines, yet today, relatively few have heard of him, and even fewer know much about him. Lord Byron immortalized one part of his life in a poem, but there was much more to this man than King and fearsome warrior. Coming face to face with him in this book not only reveals a complex and multi-talented man, but also the formidable enemy that the land of Judah, its king Hezekiah and prophet Isaiah were confronted with at a time of national crisis.

Today, many Christians across the world find themselves faced with situations that appear to be beyond their control. How should they react in such circumstances and what help can they expect to receive? This book, while dealing with real history, also focuses on life in the twenty-first century and gives pointers towards being faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ.

'Clive Anderson brings two great passions to bear in the writing of this book. The first is that by filling in the blanks of our map of Old Testament history the key points which God highlights would be better seen and understood by God’s people. The second is that from a clearer understanding of God’s dealings with his people would flow a clearer desire to walk in God’s ways. Both passions are plain to see throughout this book and applied with insight and wisdom by a very knowledgeable and passionate writer.'
-Chris Hughes, Pastor of Bishopstoke Evangelical Church, Hampshire, England
