Behold My Servant The Servant Songs of Isaiah

The Servant Songs of Isaiah are a beautiful topic for a devotional. Set in the context of Israel's failure, few places in the Old Testament speak so clearly about the merciful Messiah. To quote Henri Blocher, 'In them our Savour found the blueprint of His mission. From them Jesus learned that He would have to suffer for us; that He would die for us, as though He were a criminal, under the weight of our sins. How holy the ground we tread when studying the songs!'

Brian Russell has again shown his warmth and pastoral experience in presenting this highly devotional, yet doctrinally rich study of the Servant Songs of Isaiah.

While the book provides a storehouse of material for a pastor considering preaching through these Servant Songs, there is a wealth of spiritual value for the Christian layperson who simply wants to grow in the blessing of the knowledge of these portions of Isaiah's prophetic book.

The writing is thoughtful and warm, and dives deep enough to satisfy the knowledgeable reader, yet is clear and straightforward, that the less experienced reader will enjoy it, as well.

This is a wonderful addition to the library of any Christian. Scott Thomas
