Here are six men, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah, who stand shoulder to shoulder in the inspired canon of scripture. They never would have been in the same room together, separated by time, travel, and task. They could each tell personal tales of heartache, sacrifice, and trial, disappointment and disbelief. Their message, to the man, was piercing and convicting. We know almost nothing about the personal history of a couple of them. A couple of the others have their personal lives intertwined in their message. The diversity is more than fascinating. It is proof of the Divine hand in their writing. From these men, we learn much about God, man, and man's relationship with his God. Upon the pages of this volume, you will find a thorough explanation of the biblical text as well as rich application for our lives in today's world. Though ancient by date, the material examined by these writers is thoroughly modern by way of relevance. We invite you to read its contents and build your appreciation for the major messages of these minor prophets.
