Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther

Many people have found The People's Bible to be the most reliable Bible commentary series published. It's the laypeople's Bible—down to earth, clearly written, easy to read and understand, filled with practical and contemporary applications. Each volume includes that book's complete text from the NIV Bible. The Christ-centered commentaries following the Scripture sections contain explanations of the text, historical background, maps, illustrations, and archaeological information. The People's Bible commentaries are great for personal or group study.

After 70 years of captivity in Babylon, God's people returned to Palestine. Ezra and Nehemiah relate the struggles of God's people as they returned and restored their homeland. The book of Esther tells of a beautiful Jewish woman who became queen and then risked her life to save her people.
