Books by Pastor Joe Davis

A life of service to God requires a lot of faith and trust. But there’s no need to fear undertaking great things for His kingdom.

Welcome to the book of Joshua, a timeless story of faith and obedience. God gave Joshua the monumental task of leading His people into the promised land after forty years of desert wandering. In Go into the Land!, Dr. Joseph Davis guides readers through the entire biblical account: the death of Moses and the crossing of the Jordan, the faith of Rahab and the fall of Jericho, the clashes of mighty armies and the day the sun stood still, and more. In every chapter, Dr. Davis illuminates key historical context, vital spiritual truths, and personal applications for Jesus-followers.

Join Joshua and the Israelites on their encounters with fearsome enemies, insurmountable-seeming odds, hidden evil, and the corrective judgment of a loving God. Discover, too, the ways God blessed their faith and obedience. You’ll discover beautiful correlations between God’s commands to Joshua and Jesus’ instructions to us in the Great Commission. Above all, see how our gracious God remains faithful to His promises, even when His people falter and seem undeserving.

Our God-given mission to take the gospel to all nations is challenging. But He has promised never to leave or forsake us on the journey—so, why would you remain in the desert of your old life another day? Stop sitting on the river bank. Let’sGo into the Land! with courage, faithfulness, and assurance that our faith-filled legacy will resound across the generations into eternity.

Is your love for God’s Word selective?

There’s nothing wrong with clinging to the encouraging and inspirational words of God. But what about the other scriptures — the ones we’d rather skip, the ones we wish weren’t even in the Bible at all? We tend to ignore the verses that, if God really means what He says, would require significant change in our lives.

So we rationalize them away. We soften them, sidestep them, or pretend they don’t apply to us. And where does that leave us? In a quiet but very real place of disobedience.

That’s exactly what the book of Jonah exposes. Jonah was a prophet who loved some of God’s word, but not all of it. He embraced the parts that fit his preferences and resisted the parts that confronted him — just like we often do.

Strong one day, stumbling the next. Cowering under the guilt and shame of your past. Suspecting you don’t love God and His word as you should.

If any of this describes you, there’s a song for that: a twenty-two-stanza psalm right in the middle of the Bible. Authored by King David, whose epic personal failures only highlight the extravagant hope he found in God’s word, Psalm 119 is more powerful today than when it was written, because Jesus Christ, the Living Word, shines clearly through the verses.

But how can God’s word give you hope when you aren’t living up to its standards? Are you ready to listen to God and learn from Him? Are you ready to see lasting change and lifelong consistency in your Christian walk? Do you need grace in the face of your failures, temptations, and suffering?

Growing to Love God’s Word invites you to receive the Bible’s antidote to the prevailing darkness and despair of this world. Let God introduce you to the gift of His word—the most incredible, transformative treasure you will ever encounter.
