A Fiery Prophet and a People of Wood

"A Fiery Prophet," that is what Jeremiah was. He worked with "a people of wood." His messages often burnt them to a crisp! What a thankless job he had. Nobody likes to get burnt. His listeners tried to kill him. They threw him in prison and put him in stocks. He did not have many friends. He never married and had no children to carry on his name. For forty years, however, he faithfully proclaimed the word of the Lord to a people who turned their backs and blocked their ears. He is an example of faithfulness and perseverance. This study examines the key events and messages of this great man of God
