God's Plan For Our Success Nehemiah's Way is a new, revelatory book by Connie Hunter-Urban. The basic premise is that during the time of the Prophet Nehemiah, as he was rebuilding the gates of Jerusalem, a great level of knowledge was imparted into the scriptures that can directly apply to our Christian life today.
Out of the 12 gates rebuilt, each in Jewish culture can be proposed to represent an aspect for life today. For example, The Sheep Gate, The Fountain Gate and The Fish Gate. I will expound on one as an example: The Valley Gate. The Valley Gate is found in Nehemiah 2:13 and 3:13 and is about enduring the trials of the Christian walk. Another significant component of each of the gates are the people who hung them.
"A man named Hanun (gracious, merciful) and the inhabitants of Zanoah (forgetfulness, desertion) hung this gate. Grace takes us through here in order to help us leave behind issues that brought us to this valley in the first place."
According to Hunter-Urban The Valley Gate was placed lowest in the Jerusalem wall, just like trials are also a low point in our lives. Jesus crossed through this gate to the Hiddom Valley, which leads to the Kidron Valley and to the Kidron Brook as he was going to Gethsemeane. He passed it in depair but was victorious in his resurrection. All of this to say this is but a small portion of the chapter on The Valley Gate.
Hunter-Urban goes into much greater depth and revelation about these things. This book is a comfort to those walking with Jesus and a companion on that walk!
This is truly a unique, one of a kind book and I definitely recommend it.
