With this inductive study of five of the Bible's minor prophets--Hosea, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah--readers will discover the light of God's truth shining in even the darkest circumstances. As they learn to observe, interpret, and apply the text themselves, they will see God's answers for problems in Israel and Judah that were similar to ours today:
- materialism hiding spiritual poverty
- external piety covering inward depravity
- religious legalism masking social evils
Hope abounds as God's Word through the prophets continues to rings out: "The righteous shall live by faith." This study highlights God's invitation to a personal, intimate relationship that cuts through hypocrisy and softens hard hearts.
Classes, small groups, and individual readers will enjoy using the tools of inductive Bible study to find God's message of hope for difficult times.
