"Few experiences are more enjoyable for a Christian than listening to a skilled biblical scholar who is full of faith in Jesus Christ and love for his people expound passages from the Old Testament and help us grasp the big picture of what God was both doing and saying. But then imagine being further helped to discuss the themes of those passages with friends in a way that equipped you to apply everything you were learning to daily life. That would be something worth having! Thanks to Jonathan Gibson, that is exactly what Isaiah: Good News for the Wayward and Wandering provides."Sinclair B. Ferguson, Visiting Professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary"This is definitely the best study guide on Isaiah for home groups that I have seen. It is written in a very accessible style and from a pastor's heart. Jonathan Gibson includes just enough detail to make clear Isaiah's message to the people of his own day, its fulfilment in Jesus, and excellent suggestions for group discussion that bring its relevance right home to our everyday lives as Jesus's followers today. I'm sure you will be blessed by using this book."Barry Webb, Senior Research Fellow Emeritus in Old Testament, Moore Theological College, Sydney"The sheer size and scale of a book like Isaiah can make even a seasoned pastor or small group leader hesitate before tackling its lofty heights. Written by a scholar with a pastor's heart, this book provides a clear guide to the terrain, meaning we never lose sight of the big picture, nor fail to be refreshed by the grace on offer at the various resting places along the way. Good news indeed for the wayward and wandering." Jonty Rhodes, Minister of Christ Church Central, Leeds, UK"There's no doubt that Isaiah is an intimidating book, but to overlook or skip by it is to miss out on so much beauty and so much encouragement. Jonny Gibson's guide will lead you through its most wonderful highlights and equip you to better understand and apply it to your life."Tim Challies, Author of Seasons of Sorrow"When you turn to God's Word, you'll find that Isaiah is a theological masterpiece. Jonathan Gibson is reliable and trustworthy guide up this mountain. His book Isaiah: Good News for the Wayward and Wandering combines rich biblical insights and thoughtful practical application. I walked away strengthened in my faith."Deepak Reju, Pastor of Biblical Counseling and Family Ministry, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC; author of The Pastor and Counseling, Rescue Plan, On Guard, She's Got the Wrong Guy, and co-author of Build on Jesus
