You just have to love the emphasis The Gospel Coalition continues to place on biblical exposition – informed, gospel-centered, connected-to-the-Bible-Story exposition, to be specific. TGC founders D.A. Carson and Tim Keller have shaped the organization to promote and to model this kind of faithful exposition at the various TGC events, and the TGC 2014 Women’s Conference was no exception. Some 4,000+ women attended the event that featured a series of addresses from successive chapters of Nehemiah.
In this book D.A. Carson and Kathleen Nielson (director of women’s initiatives at TGC) have brought together the messages from the 2014 conference which, together, make their way through the entire book of Nehemiah.

An excellent exposition of this Old Testament book. Highly recommended!
