Whispers of the Prophets is unlike any other book about the Minor Prophets. It differs from what you typically read to understand the prophet's words. This volume is divided into four sections because the Minor Prophets are divided into four sections. The Early Prophets: Obadiah, Joel, and Jonah The Eighth Century Prophets: Amos, Hosea, and Micah The Seventh Century Prophets: Nahum, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk The Postexilic Prophets: Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi The divisions are arranged by the specific periods of Israel's history in which God called the prophet. The order in which each prophet is discussed differs from the order in which they are presented in most, if not all, versions of the Holy Bible. I purposely arranged them to be in the period in which they appear in Israel's history. Each prophet discussed follows a similar pattern in the book. This is intentional so that you can read and study each one independently. We did not do a verse-by-verse commentary or explanation. This book should serve as a companion to your version of the Holy Bible. You should first read the prophet's writings in Scripture, then review the relevant section in the book. Using a study Bible can also be helpful and may provide additional insight into the meaning of individual verses. This book is written as a narrative about each prophet, and therefore, very few references are made to actual verses unless necessary for the narrative. I pray that you will deepen your understanding of each prophet and his role and grow in your walk with our Lord and Savior.
