...and they saw the future
The twelve Minor Prophets of the Bible wrote some of the most amazing predictions for Israel and the world.  They were not called "minor" because they were not important, but because each message was short.
Their main theme involved the exile of Israel and Israel's future return to the Promised Land.  Many wrote about "the day of the Lord" which would be the time of the seventh millennium.
J. R.Church takes you, book by book through....Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.  Although this book is, by no means, a thorough study of the lives and times of these prophets, I enjoyed reading it..
My compliments to Mr. Craighead on publishing his first novel. Well done! Good character development, plausible plot. Could Google Glasses evolve into iSight3?
