The Joshua Factor

About the Book

Why, after 40 years in the wilderness, were the people able to enter the Promised Land under Joshua when they could not do so under Moses? Joshua’s leadership was the necessary ingredient. Joshua generated the nation’s transformation from wanderers to conquerors because he was oriented in his purpose. In part one of the book, Krogh explores the principles of change, integrity, and discipline In part two, he studies eight principles found in Joshua’s last lecture. Expectations of miraculous manna inhibit disciplined growth and claiming what God has given; but Joshua leaders push beyond the present stagnation into the promised future.
