Habakkuk – By Leroy Brownlow
Outline Introduction Discussion Conclusion Introduction It is somewhat frustrating to attempt to discuss the book of Habakkuk in one lesson. It is true that it contains only three chapters, but those three chapters are filled with the spiritual meat of practical lessons and glorious hope, so much so that a whole series of lessons could center around any one of a number of statements. To do justice to so much excellent textual material in one lesson is impossible. The best we can do in this lesson is to give the …

Nahum – By Leslie G. Thomas
Outline Introduction Discussion Conclusion Introduction The word “Nahum” means “comforter” or “compassion.” There is nothing known of this prophet’s personal history, except that which may be learned from the book which bears his name. Anyone who reads his prophecy carefully will be impressed with the idea that he was a man of consuming patriotism, and superb rhetorical power. His book is regarded as one of the masterpieces of the entire Bible. Bewer notes that Nahum pictured the attack on and conquest of the seemingly impregnable city of Nineveh with such …

Jonah – By Bob Barnhill
Outline Introduction Discussion Conclusion Introduction “The whale did swallow Jonah up” is the refrain of a song we have all heard children sing. Such a song does aid our children in learning a basic story told in this book. Yet, the music also cries out a sad melody when one considers that, too many the book of Jonah will always be nothing more than “a story about a whale.” Rather than going into a discussion of whether a “whale” swallowed Jonah, our concept of the book should go deeper. Upon …
