I know that there are many books about Nehemiah (the book) and Nehemiah (the person), practical study books about leadership and management and non-professional religious people. I know that they exist, but I’ve not read any of them, nor have I written one.

On the other hand, I have looked at several commentaries about Nehemiah to make sure that my conversations are consistent with what is known about Nehemiah.
