From the Back Cover

The Minor Prophets dramatize the character of God as few other books in the Bible do. According to noted expositor James Montgomery Boice, they particularly highlight three aspects of God's character: his sovereignty, his holiness, and his love. The messages of the Minor Prophets and their pertinent application for our lives should not be dismissed.

This two-volume expositional and inspirational commentary on the Minor Prophets integrates rigorous scholarship with accessible writing. It will inform a wide range of readers--from serious Bible students to interested laypersons--and provide understanding and application of the truths found in the text.

Boice not only explains the meaning of the text verse by verse and section by section, he also relates the text's concerns to the world in which we live, the life of the church, and the realities of the Christian life.

Volume 2 surveys Micah through Malachi, covering such topics as:

A King for Judah (Micah 4:6-5:5)
God Against Ninevah (Nahum 1:1-2:13)
The Secret of Effective Prayer (Habakkuk 3:1-2)
God of the Nations (Zephaniah 2:4-3:8)
Former Glory, Future Glory (Haggai 2:1-23)
Call to True Religion (Zechariah 7:1-8:23)
Mirror of This Age (Malachi 1:1-5)
