Poetic Profiles of the Minor Prophets: Depicted in the Old Testament By: Dr. Brenda L. Taggart Writings of the minor prophets comprise a large part of the Old Testament. These prophets were referred to as minor, not in reference to the role they played, as compared to the major prophets, but the content of the book they wrote. Each prophet was called individually by God and relayed the messages God gave them. Each had their own personality and relayed their messages in their own style. They were not always popular with their messages, as they were often harsh, as they confronted people with their sins warning of their coming judgment. Poetic Profiles of the Minor Prophets: Depicted in the Old Testament, written in poetic form for more pleasurable reading, will surely entice you to open your Bible and read more about these special men.

His mother and his sister Murphy try to keep him grounded in the real world. But when his mother dies in a car accident and her horrible husband tries to adopt them, Lee and Murphy flee to their grandmother’s ranch, which they’ve only heard about in stories. But is there a reason why their mother never brought them there? And what horrid truths lurk behind Lee’s haunting visions? Thrilling, twisty, and poignant, Minor Prophets will keep readers guessing until the final page.

First Testament Profiles in Poetry is a companion volume to New Testament Profiles in Poetry published in 2023. By comparison with the New Testament, the First Testament (or Old Testament) is much less often read and therefore less known. This manuscript features the main actors in the story of the people of God, before Jesus came to earth. There are one hundred biblical people profiled in this book. Many of their individual stories express what God is saying to humanity as a whole. Each person tells their story in their own words. With a little imagination, join them in building an ark, facing a powerful king, battling against great odds, administering justice, and listening to God’s voice. These people from ancient times have much to share with a modern audience. We may live a millennia or three later, but we face the same issues today. Poetry is the medium of communication, the vehicle for people to tell their stories succinctly and interestingly. Enjoy seeing through the eyes of patriarchs, judges, kings, prophets, and the Apocrypha.
