Strategy
A Diving Blueprint for Spiritual Battles
Victory is not a thing of the past; you can defeat opposition. Learn how through the writings of Nehemiah.
In less than 52 days, Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, drew the crowds to work together, re-established righteousness in the land of Israel, and brought revival to the people of the Lord, all under the scrutiny of the public eye. How did he do it all? This book, Strategy: A Divine Blueprint for Spiritual Battles, will reveal Nehemiah’s strategies and how we can implement them to win and save many in modern spiritual battles.
A quick search online will show that Nehemiah is often cited for his leadership capabilities. Although these are undeniable, research still needs to study the strategic aspect of Nehemiah’s mission and his considerable skills in devising plans and overcoming opposition. This Bible commentary on the book of Nehemiah aims to research and analyze the strategic behavior that animated Nehemiah, eventually driving him to succeed in his endeavor for the LORD. It also explains how, today, we can do the same and win in spiritual battles.

As far as I can remember, books have always surrounded me. One of my earliest memories is of my mom taking me to the public library to check out books for myself and her. One particular event comes to mind: when I was in kindergarten, I was captivated by those large books with pages filled with signs I could not yet decipher that, in some way, told a story. I remember picking one book in particular and wanting to read it. It was L’âne-culotte (Culotte the Donkey) by Henri Bosco.
As I grew up, all that reading inspired me to create stories in my mind. Being an only child, I shared these stories with my dolls or recited them to myself at night, which helped me fall asleep faster. Naturally, they often kept me awake more than they helped me doze off. I quickly became both a storyteller and a story creator. This passion, which I held for so long, truly came alive when I became an elementary school teacher. One of my favorite activities in the classroom was reading picture books, acting out the scenes, and using different voices.
However, books were not the only form of writing in my early life; I was also a letter writer. To this day, I keep a box filled with all the letters, postcards, and Christmas cards I have received since second grade. They serve as my archives, and I hope to pass them down to my daughter someday.
My academic journey carried me from the benches of a French university to the leather-clad hardwood tables of the French School of Archaeology in Athens, passing through Scotland, Niger, and Morocco. Today, I live with my family in Louisiana, nestled between crawfish ponds and sugarcane fields.

My Earliest Memory About Books
I don’t have many memories of my early life. I was so focused on living the day that the first eight years are like a blur, like for most children. However, there are a few not-so-blurry moments that jump back up clearly. Not surprisingly, some of them are related to...
On Book Covers as Art
I counted them not too long ago. I am the proud owner of over 1,200 pieces of art. That’s a collection worthy of a small museum! You might think I own a castle to keep all this art safe and on display. Well no. My house is of average size, and my walls are not covered...
