Jeremiah

Jeremiah served as God's prophet through Judah's final forty years, delivering a message no one wanted to hear: Babylon is coming, and resistance is rebellion against God himself. Called as a young man and forbidden to marry, he was beaten, jailed, dropped into a muddy cistern, and branded a traitor, and his prayers lay bare the anguish of it, earning him the name the weeping prophet. Yet at the book's center burns its brightest promise: a new covenant, God's law written on the heart, sins remembered no more. Jeremiah watched Jerusalem fall, still trusting God's future.
