Finished "Joshua"

Wars and genocide, taking over the land that God promised Hid people. Ick. I really don't like reading these stories. It's as if the God I know from the New Testament and my personal relationship is totally different than the one I read about here. It's always been a sticking point for me. Luckily, I found this very awesome author recently that wrote a book about these very same problems, and I'm not alone here. His explanations seem plausible but I'm praying for guidance while I read them. I'll write a post specifically about THAT book later!
