Book of Jonah Summary: The Reluctant Prophet and the Boundless Mercy of God. Jonah is one of the Bible’s best-known stories — the runaway prophet swallowed by a great fish. But beyond the children’s tale lies a book of stunning depth. Jonah shows us a God whose mercy stretches further than human prejudice, a prophet whose heart struggles against God’s compassion, and a message that points directly to Christ’s death and resurrection.

Book of Obadiah Summary: The Fall of Edom and the Kingdom of the Lord. Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament — just twenty-one verses — but its message is sharp and weighty. It is a prophecy against Edom, Israel’s neighbor and rival, warning that pride and violence against God’s people will lead to downfall. Yet Obadiah also widens the lens: what begins as judgment on Edom becomes a vision of the Day of the Lord for all nations, and the ultimate triumph of God’s k

Book of Amos Summary: The Roar of Justice and the Famine of God’s Word. Amos was no priest, no prophet’s son, no insider. He was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamore figs when God called him to speak a word of fire to Israel. His message is blunt: God despises empty worship when it is divorced from justice, and He will not ignore the corruption of His people.

Book of Joel Summary: The Day of the Lord and the Outpouring of the Spirit. The book of Joel may be short, but it speaks with thunder. A devastating locust plague becomes the backdrop for a message about judgment, repentance, and restoration. Joel warns of the Day of the Lord — a time of reckoning when God confronts evil — but he also promises a future when God’s Spirit will be poured out on all people.

Book of Hosea Summary: The Faithful God and the Unfaithful Bride. The book of Hosea is one of the most shocking and tender portraits of God in the whole Bible. The prophet’s own marriage becomes a lived-out parable of the covenant between God and His people — a covenant marked by love, betrayal, judgment, and unrelenting grace. Hosea’s message forces us to face sin with brutal honesty, but it also reveals a God whose love will not let go, even when His bride has wandered.

The Rapture Myth: A Biblical and Historical Takedown. If you’ve spent any time around prophecy books or Christian movies, you’ve probably heard of the rapture: a secret event where Christians are suddenly “taken” out of the world before a global tribulation. This idea dominates popular end-times teaching today.

Bel and the Dragon: God Exposes False Gods. Bel and the Dragon is one of the lesser-known but most striking narratives in the Bible of the early church. Preserved in the Greek Septuagint (LXX) as part of the Book of Daniel, it tells two stories: the defeat of the idol Bel and the destruction of a dragon worshiped as a god in Babylon.

Susanna: Justice, Wisdom, and the God Who Sees. The story of Susanna is one of the most powerful narratives of integrity and justice in the Bible of the early church. A faithful woman is falsely accused of adultery by two corrupt elders who lusted after her. Facing death by false testimony, she cries out to God — and the young prophet Daniel exposes the lies, delivering her from condemnation.

The Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Young Men. Most readers of Daniel know the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace (Daniel 3). But in the Bible of the Early Church, the story contains more than just their silent faith. It includes a prayer of confession (the Prayer of Azariah) and a hymn of praise (the Song of the Three Young Men).

Book of Daniel Summary: Kingdoms, Christ, and the God Who Rules History. The Book of Daniel is one of the most captivating and contested books in the Bible. It tells the story of a Jewish exile who rises to prominence in Babylon through wisdom, faith, and visions from God. For centuries, Christians have seen Daniel as a book that not only reveals God’s sovereignty over empires but also points powerfully to Christ.

Book of Ezekiel Summary : Wheels, Bones, and the Glory of God. The Book of Ezekiel is one of the most vivid and unusual books in the Bible. Written by the prophet Ezekiel during Israel’s exile in Babylon, it combines visions, symbolic acts, strange parables, and soaring promises. If you’ve ever wondered where the Bible’s strangest imagery comes from — wheels within wheels, dry bones coming to life, or a prophet cooking bread over dung — Ezekiel is the book.

The Letter of Jeremiah: A Warning Against Idols. The Letter of Jeremiah is a short book that many Protestants have never read because it’s not in most modern Protestant Bibles. Yet it was part of the Bible of the early church, included in the Septuagint and found in early Christian manuscripts right alongside Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Baruch.

Baruch: Wisdom and Confession in Exile. The Book of Baruch is not found in most Protestant Bibles, but it was part of the Bible used by the early church and remains in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles today. It was written as if coming from Baruch, the scribe and companion of Jeremiah, during the time of exile in Babylon.

Book of Lamentations Summary: Tears Over a Fallen City. Lamentations is one of the saddest books in the Bible. It was written after the city of Jerusalem was destroyed by Babylon in 586 BC. Imagine a city once filled with life, worship, and families — now reduced to ashes, with its people starving or carried off into exile. That is the scene of Lamentations.

Book of Jeremiah Summary: The Weeping Prophet and the Promise of a New Covenant. The Book of Jeremiah is one of the most sobering prophetic works in Scripture. Jeremiah, often called the “weeping prophet,” ministered during the final decades before Judah’s fall to Babylon (late 7th–early 6th century BC). His calling came in 627 BC, in the thirteenth year of King Josiah’s reign, and stretched through the reigns of Jehoiakim and Zedekiah until Jerusalem was destroyed in 586 BC.

Eastern Orthodoxy: Tradition, Icons, and Division. The Eastern Orthodox Church presents itself as the purest and most faithful expression of the “One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.” It claims to preserve the unbroken tradition of the apostles. But just like Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy is not the one true faith. While Orthodoxy preserves valuable aspects of early Christianity, it also layers human traditions, Byzantine culture, and iconography onto the gospel.

Catholicism: Tradition, Division, and the Gospel. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest branch of Christianity, with over one billion adherents worldwide. For centuries, it has claimed to be “the one true Church” founded by Jesus Christ, the only reliable custodian of salvation and authority. But history and Scripture tell a different story. Far from being the one true church, Catholicism is one branch among many — a branch that elevated human tradition and papal authority

Mormonism: Another Gospel and Its Errors. Mormonism—officially The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS)—is not Christianity. It is a counterfeit faith offering a different gospel, another Jesus, and another path of salvation. The danger is not just in Mormonism’s growth worldwide, but in its recent cultural acceptance through partnerships with projects like The Chosen. What once was rejected outright as a false religion is now slipping quietly into Christian spac

The Chosen: Why It Misrepresents Jesus. Few Christian media projects have captured as much attention as The Chosen. With hundreds of millions of views worldwide, its polished production, emotional storytelling, and crowd-funded grassroots popularity have made it a phenomenon. But popularity doesn’t equal biblical faithfulness. For all its artistry, The Chosen misrepresents Jesus and departs from Scripture in ways that are dangerous to the faith.

Book of Isaiah Summary: The Gospel of the Old Testament. The Book of Isaiah is often called the “Fifth Gospel” because of its unmatched vision of God’s holiness, His judgment on sin, His promise of redemption, and its prophetic anticipation of Jesus Christ. Written across turbulent decades of Judah’s history, Isaiah’s words stand as a towering theological mountain range in the Old Testament.
