The Commands of the Prophets, Extra Large Edition

Extra large print edition of The Commands of the Prophets in Michael Phillips Commands series.

Nearly 10 years elapsed between the release of the first two volumes of commands and this final book of the trilogy. Michael confesses that the task of organizing and assimilating the commands of the Old Testament was so daunting that he delayed embarking on it year after year, waiting, he says, for just the right time when he felt the leading that would carry him through to the end. When that time came, as he wrote, daily he prayed that God would show him what command to focus on, and what he would have him say about it. It was during those two years that the prayer, “Lord, what do you have for me today…what do you have for me to communicate from your heart?” became a regular part of Michael’s prayer life. Two years later, after the book was completed, both Michael and Judy have grown to love this final installment of the series more and more. They recognize it in many ways as the foundation of whole series, seeing how the commands of Jesus emerged out of the tone and temper and ethos of the entire Old Testament in which Jesus had been steeped. Though chronologically coming first in the Bible, they see that the foundational message of The Commands of the Prophets needed the intervening years after the first two volumes to synthesize and focus in Michael’s thoughts and heart until the time was right.
