| 0:00.0 | Can you name the 12 minor prophets? |
| 0:07.0 | Well, today we have someone in studio who not only can name the 12 minor prophets, |
| 0:29.2 | but who's written a book about the 12 minor prophets called 12 faith journeys. |
| 0:36.3 | His name's Nathan Jones, and Nathan Nathan it's good to have you in |
| 0:39.3 | studio here. |
| 0:40.3 | Oh thank you sir. I appreciate you having me on. |
| 0:42.3 | And we're going to talk about the minor prophets. They're not minor at all. In fact they're |
| 0:47.3 | quite major and let's just start with your motivation in putting together a book like this. |
| 0:54.6 | Okay, well, it's funny. |
| 0:56.4 | It's not that something is inspired from God to write a book on the minor prophets per se. |
| 1:02.6 | It actually came probably as a hint from God at first, and that was, |
| 1:05.9 | is that I'm on the second floor at Lamb and Lion Ministries |
| 1:08.8 | where I serve as the Associate Evangelist and Web Minister. And there is a little three foot door at the top of the stairs. And every day I go back and forth past that little door. And before my time, because I've been at the ministry a little over 11 years, someone had put over that door minor prophets. A little sign that said minor prophets. And I was like, why in the world would they put |
| 1:27.9 | this? Because, you know, the minor prophets are considered minor because they wrote real short books. |
| 1:31.9 | Right. But I wondered what's on the other side of that door. Well, I looked one day and I realized |
| 1:35.8 | it was an attic. It was a dirty, dusty, unused piece of area in the building. And it got me |
| 1:41.7 | thinking, Gary, I started thinking that the minor prophet section |
| 1:46.3 | of the Bible, the 12 books of that, the end of the Old Testament, are treated just the same way |
| 1:51.1 | by most Christians, unused, dusty, unimportant, old history that has no relevancy today. And it got |
| 1:58.2 | me thinking that maybe we should teach on the minor prophets. So I teamed up with a pastor friend of mine, Steve Howell, and we began a book on the minor prophets. |
| 2:06.9 | Now, what's the thrust of the 12 minor prophets? That is, when you put this together, where are you going with it? What do you want people to know? And by the way, I think this is a very important question because |
| 2:18.6 | honestly, when you read the minor prophets, you can sort of go off track. You say, well, |
