Without the prophets our faith can grow shallow and weak, unable to stand up to the rigors and challenges of life.

You mentioned it helps to understand some of the history of the time. I once read the Bible through, using Eerdmans' Handbook to the Bible along with my reading. This is a simple commentary, attractive and well illustrated in color, easy to read for a lay person like me who has no theological education at all. The brief history of each book of the Bible, brief explanations, and pictures, all were a big help in understanding, as I read them through before, and along with, each book in turn. Needless to say, I have forgotten most of it by now. This was many years ago!! Perhaps I will give the minor prophets another reading, with my Eerdmans alongside. Highly recommended as a simple commentary. Re: reading the prophets. You mentioned it helps to understand some of the history of the time.

For right now we will start with Habakkuk and then see where that leads us. I like your idea of giving the reading out first and then posting on it.

And, with Habakkuk are you going to have a reading plan for us, the reader, and then a message for the next day? Because it has been on my heart to start learning about the prophets, but I have no where to learn from. Will you be going through all of the prophets this year then?
