A Minor Prophet Story - Zechariah’s Encouragement
ISBN: 9781527111691This attractively illustrated retelling of the book of Zechariah will teach young readers about the major lessons found in this minor prophet.
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.
Brian Wright and John Brown show how Zechariah's prophecy ultimately points to Jesus. This minor prophet offers major lessons, teaching readers about grace and encouraging obedience, two aspects of the Christian life as essential today as when Zechariah first wrote.
