Description
This attractively illustrated retelling of the book of Joel will teach young readers about the major lessons found in this minor prophet
An army of locusts has eaten all the crops in Israel,
and a drought has dried up their streams - what are they going to do? God had warned Israel long ago that this would happen if they did not listen to Him.
Joel cried out to God, and God told him about "the day of the Lord", when God will come with his angelic army to set things right.
He will judge the wicked but forgive everyone who is truly sorry and turns to Him.
This minor prophet offers major lessons, teaching readers about repentance and renewal, two aspects of the Christian life as essential today as when Joel first wrote.

Reviews / Votes
"With bright illustrations and lots of animal pictures, God's Daring Dozen provides a fun and helpful way to increase biblical literacy and open some less familiar parts of Scripture to young listeners.
"The Gospel Coalition
"
Brian's and John's presentation of these undervalued books captures their messages in ways that young readers can grasp and very smoothly weaves them into the larger fabric of the Gospel. An excellent tool for helping children grasp and retain the Gospel as promised in these Old Testament books.
"Daniel C. Timmer
"
What a great resource for families! Kids' books on individual books of the Bible. True to Scripture and accessible to little ones. I can't wait to read these to my own children.
"Andrew Abernathy
"
John and Brian have captured the message of these books and packaged them in a form ideal for parents who hope to train their children up in the faith.
"James M. Hamilton Jr.
"
Here is a series that introduces small children to the world and words of biblical prophets. These books fill a large gap in the Christian nurture of young children.
"Duane A. Garrett
