The minor prophets aren’t called this because they didn’t major in major themes; it's because their books are shorter than those by prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, or Ezekiel.
In this fourth volume of the God’s Masterwork series, Chuck Swindoll majors in the minors. God’s Masterwork, Volume Four: An Invitation to Return—A Survey of Hosea–Malachi will introduce you to the little-read and little-understood prophets who deliver big messages in a small amount of space.
Recently in Judah (the southern kingdom), a plague of locusts had devoured every green thing, leaving only desolation in their trail. Joel announced his conviction that God had sent the plague because of the sin of His people Judah. But Joel also announced hope beyond their present circumstance. His message is certainly needed today.
Hosea was a prophet to the 10 northern tribes called Israel. His contemporaries were Amos, Isaiah, Jonah, and Micah. Hosea’s was a pathetic, tragic life. In fact, few men in Scripture inspire such pity as Hosea.
Your personal nourishment is crucial during times of storm. In panic moments, you'll cut a corner on your meals. You'll also fail to get sufficient sleep. It won't be long before you will set aside prayer altogether and you'll find yourself drained, spiritually. Increased emotional pain mixed with decreased spiritual renewal can be lethal to your faith.
