Old Testament Readings & Devotionals: Volume 11

Volume 11 features Ezra, Esther, Nehemiah, Malachi, and a Psalm.

The book of Esther covers part of King Ahasuerus of Persia’s reign, and Queen Esther’s saving of the Jewish people. Nehemiah, in his book, recounts the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall. The book of Malachi reminds us of God’s covenant love for his people.
