Unexpected Wisdom: Major Insight from the Minor Prophets

Minor Prophets, Major Lessons What is the basic theme of the Book of Obadiah? What does Hosea's allegory about the faithless Gomer teach us about the relationship between God and the Church? In Unexpected Wisdom: Major Insights from the Minor Prophets, Dan Schmidt answers these questions and more, bringing the oft-neglected words of Amos, Habakkuk, Haggai, Joel and others to the foreground and providing contemporary applications. He leans toward the moral, rather than the philosophical, approach; Malachi's message, Schmidt says, is to ""radiate integrity"" and Micah's is to ""use power well."" It's a different position, and one that will work well for individual or group study. ( Jan.)
