ANY COMPLAINTS? BLAME GOD!
God’s message for today – Habakkuk the Prophet Speaks
By Martin Goldsmith. Authentic Media. 130 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978-1-85078-812-6
Martin Goldsmith’s aim is to enable readers to understand the message of the whole of Habakkuk, rather than just know a few well-known verses. He urges readers to understand the book in its original context and, in so doing, hopes that it will stimulate and equip readers to tackle longer Old Testament prophets.
Goldsmith splits the three chapters of Habakkuk into seven sections which become the chapters of the book. The reader is taken section by section through Habakkuk and we are shown how Habakkuk’s complaints are answered by the Lord and, in so doing, how Habakkuk moves from complaining against the Lord to being full of praise to the Lord.
