""Jack Lundbom provides helpful notes to introduce readers to three 'minor' but significant Hebrew prophets. These notes showcase his well-regarded expertise in the rhetoric of the Hebrew Bible as well as his sensitivity to the intricate connections between these prophets and the rest of Scripture. Readers will find in the reflective questions concluding each section helpful prompts to consider the relevance of these passages for Christian theology and contemporary life."" --Mark J. Boda, Professor of Old Testament, McMaster Divinity College, Ontario ""Professor Lundbom invites us to reflect on the relevance of the message of the Old Testament prophets along with its interpretation in the New Testament. Combining great scholarly insight with long experience of teaching and preaching he shows how this message can help modern believers to define their lives and identity. The fine survey of the historical background and the verse-by-verse commentary are indispensable for understanding these old texts. Lundbom's book is worthwhile studying."" --Karl William Weyde, Professor Emeritus of Hebrew Bible and Old Testament, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society ""Jack Lundbom, a renowned scholar of Hebrew prophets, has written a book that will greatly be appreciated by readers who are interested in understanding the Bible and its relevance to everyday life. This book is concise and well-structured, providing insight into the complex post-exilic prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi."" --Nicholas H. F.
