The return of the exiles in Ezra alongside the commentary of Haggai has become one of my favorite neglected OT narratives. Haggai is very well suited for speaking on distraction. They were distracted by the technology of their day, cedar panels, just as we are distracted with ours.

Yes, Ezra/Nehemiah both are very underrated - and very neglected. I'm blessed to be at a church that has preached through Nehemiah and Haggai both in recent years. The circumstances are definitely not the same, but they both speak to many things that are very relevant to modern audiences today!
