    En forfærdelig nyhed ryster det jødiske samfund i Babylon. Uden forvarsel eller nogen som helst begrundelse har perserkongen udstedt et dekret om, at alle jøder i alle rigets provinser skal udryddes på én bestemt dag – om mindre end et år. Pludselig bliver den skriftlærde Ezra, der mest er kendt som en indadvendt mand, kaldet til at lede folket og samle en forsvarshær. Med Guds lov i hånden kæmper han for at give folket håb og finde Gud i en tid, hvor alt håb synes ude, og alle fremtidsdrømme er slukket. I Pagtens vogtere væver Lynn Austin et smukt billedtæppe, hvor både jøders og hedningers historie flettes sammen. Hun beskriver troen, tvivlen og de ubærlige tab i menneskers liv, der må have fulgt de begivenheder, som skildres i Ezras Bog og Esters Bog. Gennem de landflygtiges historie ser vi, hvordan Guds urokkelige kærlighed til sit folk viser sig på de underligste måder og giver håb selv i de mest håbløse situationer.

    We all encounter times when our spirit feels dry, when doubt looms.The opportunity to tour Israel came at a good time.

Even my weekly worship experiences and daily quiet times with God have felt as dry and stale as last year's crackers. I'm ashamed to confess the malaise I've felt. I have been given so much. Shouldn't a Christian's life be an abundant one, as exciting as Christmas morning, as joyful as Easter Sunday?With gripping honesty, Lynn Austin pens her struggles with spiritual dryness in a season of loss and unwanted change. Tracing her travels throughout Israel, Austin seamlessly weaves events and insights from the Word . . . and in doing so finds a renewed passion for prayer and encouragement for her spirit, now full of life and hope.
