Called to Rebuild examines Ezra, Nehemiah, and others to draw applications for those who would be the spiritual descendants of that remnant in this generation. This book is for those who have a heart to rebuild and see the church become what God has always intended for it to be.

Over 2,500 years ago a Jewish remnant returned to Jerusalem after 70 years of Babylonian captivity to rebuild the house of God, which had been laid waste by Nebuchadnezzar. They faced opposition and countless challenges. Sometimes the task seemed impossible. But God never gave up. He wanted a restored temple, a rebuilt wall, and a repopulated city where he could once again dwell among his people.

As we read the New Testament we see glimpses of the glory of the first-century church. But even then, in the decade leading up to the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, the church had already begun to lapse into a period of decline. As in every generation, however, God’s heart is to restore. With the parallels concerning the spiritual condition at the time of the remnant and that of the church in our day, what better books could we turn to than the “remnant books” of Ezra and Nehemiah, along with the other related books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi to gain insight into what God would have to say to his church today?
