Product Description:
Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai…It can be hard to pronounce the names of the Minor Prophets much less understand the issues they wrote about. With their talk of judgement upon obscure cities, strange imagery and sometimes cryptic language, it can be tempting to assume that the twelve books at the end of the Old Testament really aren’t important for Christians. In Taking God Seriously, seasoned pastor Stuart Briscoe challenges this notion as he examines each of the Minor Prophets, providing both helpful historical context, and demonstrating the relevance of each prophet’s message to believers today.
