Description

These seven short books come from the years before Jerusalem fell and the years after the exiles came home. They hold a family’s field and its boundary stones, a village too small to count, a watchman on a wall, a fig tree with no fruit, a purse with a hole in it, a plumb line in a builder’s hand, a king riding a donkey, and a refiner sitting beside his fire.

This book walks through them in forty short poems, in five parts: Micah; Nahum and Habakkuk; Zephaniah and Haggai; Zechariah; and Malachi. Each poem sits beside a picture and under a single line of Scripture. The pictures stay with ordinary things—a stool under a fig tree, a clay lamp, a new course of stone—and leave the faces to your imagination.
