Ezra and Nehemiah tell how God stirred his people to return from captivity to rebuild the temple, restore the walls of Jerusalem, and renew their covenant around the reading of the law. This study follows the work of faith that both trusts God and labors and watches, and the joy of a people gathered again to the word of the Lord.
