Joel and the Locusts
The Minor Prophets, Book 7
Brian J. Wright and John R. Brown
Book of Joel in storybook form
Part of God’s Daring Dozen series
Teaches about repentance and renewal
An army of locusts has eaten all the crops in Israel, and a drought has dried up their streams – what are they going to do? God had warned Israel long ago that this would happen if they did not listen to Him. Joel cried out to God, and God told him about “the day of the Lord”, when God will come with his angelic army to set things right. He will judge the wicked but forgive everyone who is truly sorry and turns to Him.
