Excellent Work
Major Points from the Minor Prophets exceeded my expectations. It is one of the finest commentaries I have ever used. Scholarly, yet layman friendly, this work can be appreciated by all desiring a deeper understanding of “the clean pages” of the Bible!!

Very good exposition of the "brief" prophets
This was a very good exposition on the minor prophets. These books should be known more as the "brief" prophets. Their message was by no means minor. The author calls them the "clean pages" of the Bible, that is, the pages that are seldom read. We used it in our men's group Bible study. God's message through the minor prophets is pretty consistent throughout. A Major Point for each Bible book was helpful so that we could focus in on a unique message in each book. There is quite a bit in the book to connect the prophecies with our current situation. Sometimes, however, the author went on trails that took us a bit too far outside the message of the prophets. There is a tough balance between audience engagement and focus. One other suggestion: He quoted others quite a bit. I would have liked to have citations so that those who were interested could study them further. Another thing I'd suggest for the Kindle edition: Please put page numbers that line up with one of the print editions. That is a common problem with most Kindle books that are used in a study situation.

Minor Prophets
This was a good overview of the minor prophets. It didn't really get into a verse by verse commentary but was really helpful for a brief description of the books.

Well Written
Blanchard has done it again. This book has helped me immensely in my bible study planning on the minor prophets. His points are clear and understandable. The book printing is a nice size and the text does not cause me eye to strain. Its an easy book to carry around with plenty of margins to write in notes.

An absolute must read for any true Christian
Words can not convey the depth of John Blanchard's book of the Major Points from the Minor Prophets. ..he is astounding as he explains the plight of the prophets as his explanations leap off of the pages and into ky heart.

An easy read.
This is not a verse by verse commentary but rather picks out themes in each book and discusses them. It would form a good base for group studies or to be used along side the Bible in personal devotions.

Major Points . . . John Blanchard
John Blanchard never disappoints! A challenging yet inspiring treatment of the minor prophets, well written with some fascinating and original insights -- one of which was so provocative that I e-mailed the author to ask for clarification!

John Blanchard - Minor Prophets
John Blanchard's books are always very rewarding to read. He has a rare ability to distill significant things in the simplest of language without detracting from core values. A helpful book on a neglected subject.
