Provocative and practical lessons from the Minor Prophets-books small in size but immense in faith-building messages for any believer. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Dan Schmidt uncovers the truths of the 12 little prophets placed towards the back of the Old Testament. Their names, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi don't recieve star billing like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Schmidt explores the hidden wisdom and discernment and true nature of the situation. I think Schmidt did a great job in digging into these writings and shows us that the little prophets' messages are spiritually time-tested truths. The messages in each book illustrate many themes of grace, wisdom, suffering, courage and hope. All of them have something in common. They let the reader know that God loves His children and He always calls His people back to Him.The message of regaining faithfulness in the life of Hosea. A grace of forgiveness in Jonah, after being swallowed by a big fish, reluctantly went to Nineveh and found that people there were responsive. Encouragement and hope in Zechariah urged God's people to build the temple that pointed toward the coming Messiah (Jesus). Wisdom in Malachi who faced a nation that had grown indifferent to God. He sought to turn them back. Each prophet was an example of God's Love and Grace. You'll be saying, "There are BIG things happening in little places!"
