The Books of the Minor Prophets: The Twelve (the Passion Translation) - Paperback

by Brian Simmons (Author)

The books of the Minor Prophets resound with fierce condemnations of injustice and stunning examples of Yahweh's persistent mercy. Centuries-old prophecies come to pass, justice is served to corrupt leaders, and the oppressed are delivered.

The book of Hosea presents an intimate allegory of God's love. The books of Joel, Amos, and Zephaniah proclaim the judgment and blessing of the coming day of Yahweh. The book of Jonah shows God's eagerness to forgive. The books of Obadiah, Micah, and Nahum vividly warn of Yahweh's wrath on economic exploitation and the enemies of his people. The book of Habakkuk discusses why evil sometimes prospers. The books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi share prophecies of encouragement from when God's people rebuilt the temple and reclaimed hope after decades in exile.

These twelve books balance justice and mercy, inspiring us to live uprightly as we await the universal spiritual renewal and righting of wrongs Yahweh will bring one day.

I will keep watching for Yahweh to break through . . .
and I know my God will hear my cry.
Micah 7:7
