God’s Daring Dozen is the first children’s picture book series ever published on the minor prophets. The twelve books between Daniel and Matthew are unfamiliar to many believers, so this series accurately introduces these inspired writings with vivid images and simple words that engage children and adults alike. Each volume both retells the prophet’s message to his original audience and relates its rich truths to Jesus and God’s people today.
This second boxed set contains:
Malachi’s Final Message
God had been so good to Israel, but they kept disobeying Him. So, God sent Malachi to tell them to turn back to him. He promises to send His messenger, who will purify the priests and judge the people who are doing wrong. He promises that if they will turn their hearts back to God, He will bless them.
And God’s promises came true – he sent John the Baptist to prepare the way of the Lord, encouraging people to repent, and he sent his Son, Jesus, to take away the sins of the world.
Brian Wright and John Brown’s colourfully illustrated retelling explains the book of Malachi in a way that 4–6 year–olds will understand, but this minor prophet has major lessons for readers of all ages.
Jonah’s Journeys
God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell the people there to stop doing bad things and turn back to God, but Jonah ran away. He took a boat in the opposite direction, so God sent a big storm and Jonah ended up in the belly of a big fish.
When Jonah told the Ninevites God’s message, they turned away from their evil ways, but instead of rejoicing, Jonah was angry.
This minor prophet has major lessons for readers today. Brian Wright and John Brown show us how Jonah points to Jesus, and teaches us about compassion and obedience.
Joel and the Locusts
An army of locusts has eaten all the crops in Israel, and a drought has dried up their streams – what are they going to do? God had warned Israel long ago that this would happen if they did not listen to Him.
Joel cried out to God, and God told him about “the day of the Lord”, when God will come with his angelic army to set things right. He will judge the wicked but forgive everyone who is truly sorry and turns to Him.
This minor prophet offers major lessons, teaching readers about repentance and renewal, two aspects of the Christian life as essential today as when Joel first wrote.
Nahum and the Ninevites
God is good, a strong refuge in times of trouble; He cares for those who trust in Him. But He will sweep away His enemies like a mighty flood and drive them into darkness. In the book of Nahum, God promises to punish the Assyrians, who had been oppressing Israel. Their capital, Nineveh, was full of murder and lies, so God destroys it.
Nahum’s name means comfort. God’s people can find comfort in his prophecy, which shows how God will defeat all our enemies. He even sent His Son, Jesus, to defeat sin, death and the devil. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Nahum is a minor prophet, but his book teaches major lessons. Brian Wright and John Brown show how we can learn about the power and mercy of God in this illustrated rendering of the prophecy of Nahum for 4–6 year–olds.
