Doom and Gloom

Book excerpt: Alone and living in a time of chaos, Jeremiah was a prophet and Levitical priest whose fellow priests and prophets wanted him dead. In fact, everyone wanted him dead-the political leaders, his neighbors, and even his family.At twenty-three years old Jeremiah was told to speak truth to power and not to worry what the consequences may be. God told him that people love to praise the Lord but refuse to do what He says. In spite of the judgments cascading upon the heads of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Lord promised a new covenant with Israel and Judah that would revolutionize their walk with Him. Forbidden by the Lord to marry, Jeremiah's story is still filled with love and adventure.
