Joshua Is About Keeping Promises 
Even promises made to prostitutes. Even promises made to conniving Gibeonites. For better or worse, richer or poorer, a promise is sacred. 
After a lifetime as a desert nomad, Joshua, with no military training, is told to take his rag tag army, cross the Jordan, and overthrow the fortified cities of Canaan. "I will give you every place where you set your foot," God promised. "No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life" (Joshua 1:3, 5, NIV). 
Author Roy Adams brings Joshua to life. He explores the underlying historical, geographical, and psychological subtexts, providing a strategic understanding of Israel's military campaign. He grapples with the divine command to slaughter every man, woman, child, and animal. Can ethnic cleansing be reconciled with the sixth commandment? The author makes an important contribution to understanding violence in the Old Testament at a time when our society is preoccupied with questions of terrorism and jihad. 
Adams provides evidence of the utter depravity of the Canaanites from their own literature. He explains the covenant form with the help of ancient Near Eastern suzerainty treaties. He tackles the ethics of Rahab's deception, along with historical issues, such as the long day. How did the Jordan stop flowing in flood stage? Why were parts of the land left unconquered? Did God, in the end, keep His promises? 
The story of Joshua reminds us that "the Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" (Deuteronomy 31:8, NIV). This book will bless all who face impregnable walls or raging rivers; all who have experienced an embarrassing Ai defeat after a Jericho victory; all who wait on the verge of the Promised Land, seeking a city whose builder and maker is God.

Kedleston Hall, situated four miles north-west of Derby, stands in 800 acres of landscaped gardens and parkland. An outstanding example of the neo-classical style, the Hall was designed and built in the third quarter of the 18th century as a great showpiece for the Curzon family. The north facade - 107 metres long, is arguably one of the grandest of its kind in Britain. In the early 1960s, Roy Adams arrived at the imposing entrance of Kedleston Hall to take up the position of houseman. His duties included stoking the boilers twice a day and ensuring that fires were laid and lit in all rooms. Roy eventually progressed to the position of butler and went on to work for the Scarsdale family at Kedleston Hall for the next 25 years. "Tiaras and Tantrums: Twenty-five Years in Service at Kedleston Hall" is a response to requests and urgings from family and friends to recount his memories from his time at the Hall. By the time of his retirement, Roy had nursed the sick, changed babies' nappies, placated irate cooks, dealt with amorous intrigues, buried family pets, acted as chauffeur and had been expected to know the answer to everything - even to crossword clues! Sadly, Roy died in Cheltenham in 2008, aged 86, so his wife has shaped his memoir into the pages of "Tiaras and Tantrums: Twenty-five Years in Service at Kedleston Hall". This book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in a behind-the-scenes look at society life in Kedleston Hall.
