Even amid our failures, God remains faithful.
The book of Judges records one of the darkest times in biblical history—and its pattern is familiar. Like ancient Israel, our world today rejects God’s authority and does what is right in its own eyes. Yet, when His people cry out for mercy, the Lord proves faithful.
In his new book, Light in the Darkness, Dr. Michael Barrett reveals the enduring relevance of Judges, reminding us of God’s faithfulness, our weakness, and the hope of Christ, who never fails His people.
A Look Inside the Book
“To miss seeing Christ in the prophetic book of Judges is to miss the principal message: Christ is the light in the darkness.” —Michael Barrett

What Others Are Saying
“This book is what I call a ‘gripper’—that is, neither a superficial survey nor a dense technical tome but a study that gives the reader a real grip on the book of Judges. And Dr. Barrett believes in ‘overspill’—he constantly points out implications for the believer’s life and always has his eyes fixed on Jesus. Ideal for church study groups.” —Dr. Dale Ralph Davis, Professor of Old Testament (Retired), Reformed Theological Seminary
