Book Review: Sovereign Hope

I chose to do a review of Claudia Barba's Sovereign Hope:  A Study of the Minor Prophets.  As I prepare for a Bible study on the book of Hosea, I was looking forward to using this as a resource.

Barba does an excellent job of presenting the central themes of each book of the Minor Prophets.  She gives a brief overview of each book and highlights some things that can be applied to daily life.  In each chapter, Barba poses several questions to guide the reader in their study and does a great job of  incorporating supporting Scripture.  If one is seeking a book to give main ideas an a general overview of each book of the Minor Prophets, this book is an excellent starting point.

Covering 12 books of the Bible in approximately 140 pages does not allow for much depth.  I would have loved to see Barba cite her sources, in order to use them for further study.

Thanks to NetGalley for making this book available for an honest review.
