The Early Minor Prophets: Hosea. Joel. Amos. Obadiah. Jonah. and Micah (The Amazing Collection: The Bible. Book by Book) (Volume 6)

The Bible is simply a love letter compiled into sixty-six books and written over a period of sixteen hundred years by more than forty authors living on three continents. Although the authors came from different backgrounds there is one message one theme one thread that runs throughout the entire Bible from the first book Genesis to the last book Revelation. That message is God?s redeeming love for mankind?a message that is as relevant for us today as it was two thousand years ago.The scope of The Early Minor Prophets (Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah and Micah) is broad indeed. Chronologically they span more than four centuries from approximately 848 to 425 BC. Geographically they touch Israel Judah Syria Moab Ammon Edom Egypt Ethiopia and Assyria. Thematically they explore such topics as love mercy compassion wrath judgment holiness obedience disobedience hope repentance and many more.As you begin your study of these books be prepared for gripping and graphic portrayalsof both God and man: Hosea?s picture of God?s love for his adulterous people symbolized by the prophet?s love for his adulterous wife; Jonah?s portrayal of himself as a disobedient runaway prophet pursued by a patient God; Amos?s colorful visions of God?s judgment that would come because of his continued disobedience; and Obadiah?s classic portrait of pride.The setting of these books may be ancient but their message is modern. You will meet the eternal God in them ? and you will meet yourself. Welcome to the Minor Prophets whose message is major.
