From Wilderness to Monarchy offers a Latter-day Saint perspective on Israel’s spiritual and historical journey as recounted in the Old Testament. Beginning with the book of Joshua, it explores Israel’s transition from Moses’s leadership to the hardships and difficulties in the conquest accounts—focusing on covenantal duties, military battles, and moral challenges. The book moves through the era of the Judges, highlighting both general spiritual decline and the faithfulness of individuals like Ruth and Hannah. It then follows the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon, examining their leadership, flaws, and divine interactions. The volume concludes with insights into the literary, theological, and temple-centered significance of Psalms, Proverbs, and the Song of Solomon. As a companion to From Creation to Sinai it invites readers to see the Old Testament not merely as history but as a spiritual guide for modern covenant living.
