. . .of the first six Minor Prophets written specifically for the teacher or preacher. While not an in-depth scholarly commentary (and this is not the purpose of the series) major issues and questions concerning the reading and interpretation of these books is well-presented.
The professional student is probably going to wish to look elsewhere for more depth, but the pastor, looking for a preaching aid, or the adult Bible study facilitator will find the volume most rewarding.
Recommended.

Good but not great

Would be an excellent commentary if the author did not skip 3 chapters. This commentary is one of the best for leading Bible study. The author writes well and I was disappointed to see that whole chapters are skipped.
For that reason I cannot recommend the book for leading a Bible study.

I know the author personally and so I am not at all surprised at the warmth and usefulness of this volume in the middle of the minor prophets. Useful is not the word for this. Extremely warm and lively is more like it, and very useful in the preparation of classes or sermons. You can tell that the author has taught students for many years by the way he breaks things down and keeps topics alive. GMM
