This is one of the most readable of the Joshua commentaries. I think if you are going to preach Joshua, this would be a good resource. It is suggestive and challenging in a few places and Creach has some interesting reads on some of the stories. The weakness of this commentary is that it is so short. So whereas Creach has some provocative arguments, he really doesn't develop them. So good for preaching, but not so good for deep exegesis, unless you want to use this as a springboard into deeper research. (
