Description
Book SynopsisColourfully illustrated retelling of the book of Malachi for 4–6 year–olds
God had been so good to Israel, but they kept disobeying Him. So, God sent Malachi to tell them to turn back to him. He promises to send His messenger, who will purify the priests and judge the people who are doing wrong. He promises that if they will turn their hearts back to God, He will bless them.
And God’s promises came true – he sent John the Baptist to prepare the way of the Lord, encouraging people to repent, and he sent his Son, Jesus, to take away the sins of the world.
Brian Wright and John Brown’s colourfully illustrated retelling explains the book of Malachi in a way that 4–6 year–olds will understand, but this minor prophet has major lessons for readers of all ages.

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 (Professor of Old Testament, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois and author of ‘God’s Messiah in the Old Testament’)
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.
