This set of attractively illustrated, biblically faithful retelling of the Minor Prophets will point young readers to Jesus including the books on Hosea, Amos, Micah and Zechariah.
God’s Daring Dozen is the first children’s picture book series ever published on the minor prophets. The twelve books between Daniel and Matthew are unfamiliar to many believers, so this series accurately introduces these inspired writings with vivid images and simple words that engage children and adults alike. Each volume both retells the prophet’s message to his original audience and relates its rich truths to Jesus and God’s people today.
This third boxed set contains:
Hosea and God’s Love
God gave Hosea an unusual mission – to show the people of Israel the depth of God’s love by marrying an unfaithful woman. Hosea married Gomer, but she made choices that hurt Hosea deeply, leaving him heartbroken. Yet even in the pain, Hosea’s love for Gomer never stopped – just like God’s love for His people never stops.
This minor prophet offers major lessons, teaching reverence and inspiring hope, two aspects of the Christian life as essential today as when Hosea first wrote.
Amos and God’s Roaring Voice
In a land filled with good things, there lived a shepherd named Amos. God called him to tell His people that He had seen the bad things they were doing – and the pain and suffering they caused. Although God had been so kind to Israel, and tried to warn them again and again, they mistreated people and rejected God’s word. Amos brings them a warning of judgement – but also a message of hope.
Brian Wright and John Brown show how Amos’s prophecy ultimately points to Jesus.
This minor prophet offers major lessons, teaching readers about repentance and promoting justice, two aspects of the Christian life as essential today as when Amos first wrote.
Micah’s Hope
Micah told God’s people three times to fear God’s judgement for sin but to hope in His faithful love. God says because the people’s sin has ruined the land, He will allow the Assyrians to destroy their towns. But one day God will rescue Israel from their enemies, and lead them back home to a place of perfect peace where everyone will thrive.

Zechariah’s Encouragement
Long ago in Israel, God sent a young prophet named Zechariah (whose name means, “the Lord remembers”) to encourage his people. They had stopped rebuilding God’s temple and had become distracted and discouraged, so God showed Zechariah eight visions to encourage the people to finish the temple and live right.
