Last Friday at 9:00 PM

Welcome to our monthly book review for, The Twelve- A Transformational Journey Through The Minor Prophets, by Parker Bradley.  Drawing from the insights of the Minor Prophets in the Bible, The Twelve, is an encouraging, but also challenging resource for followers of Jesus, and anyone wanting to honestly understand how God reveals Himself in Scripture.

We covered the chapter on Habakkuk, last month, and are covering the chapter on Zephaniah in this episode.  Parker calls this chapter, God Versus the God We Make Him Out to Be.
