My Least Favorite Book of the Bible
Joshua. I hate this part of the Bible. If it were up to me, it might not have made the Biblical cut. But there it is. Joshua tells the story of the Israelites moving into the promised land, land other people were already living in, people who were conquered and killed by the Israelites. It’s […]
