In the Old Testament alone we have the writings of at least sixteen prophets. What kind of people were they: eccentric doomsayers or faithful truth tellers? And why were their messages so crucial that God appointed them specifically to speak? More importantly, do they have anything to say to God’s people today? From Elijah to John the Baptist, this studyguide will help you listen anew to God’s truth as you look at the lives of thirteen prophets and the major themes of their messages.
Vinita Hampton Wright, a writer and editor, is the author of numerous books, including several Fisherman Bible Studyguides such as Angels and Proverbs: Wisdom That Works. She also conducts creativity and spirituality workshops at conferences and retreats across the country. Vinita and her husband, Jim, live in Chicago. View titles by Vinita Hampton Wright
