Straight to the Heart of the Minor Prophets: 60 Bite-Sized Insights
The Straight to the Heart series of devotional commentaries allows people to get to grips with each book of the Bible one bite at a time. In part one of the minor prophets we study Amos and Hosea, the two prophets sent by God to confront the northern kingdom of Israel. In part two, Jonah and Nahum, two prophets who were sent to offer the same choice between blessing and judgment to the pagan superpower Assyria. In part three, Joel, Micah, Zephaniah and Habakkuk, four prophets that the Lord sent to warn the southern kingdom of Judah. In part four, Obadiah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, four prophets that God inspired after the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile to Babylon, and who spoke glorious promises about a new hope for God's people. Get ready to hear God speak to you as you read these twelve short books of prophecy. The arrival of Jesus to be our Saviour has amplified the urgent choice that they offer us. God still warns us: Blessing or curse - you decide. There will be 25 volumes in all. Although the tone is light, the text is full of useful application and backed by substantial scholarship.

I really appreciated this devotional about the minor prophets.
It is a shame that so many Christians ignore the prophets because they seem too complicated - guilty as charged for seven years.
Also, if only every church leader was as dedicated to the whole Word of God and would repent when they lead the church astray (cough, cough, Church of England bishops).
But, now that I've read through this book alongside the Word, I can see God's grace working through these twelve men who prophesied over 2000 years ago.
It is a great tool with which to start exploring the minor prophets. There are a few things that some camps will disagree with, but the overall message is super helpful.
How will we respond to God's grace: blessing or curse? You decide.
