Tough Love, Tender Mercies: Three Short Stops in the Minor Prophets (On the Road with Lisa Harper)

What happens when Malachi meets Scarlett O'Hara? Hello, Ladies!This road trip will take you to some parts of the Bible that are rarely traveled, but very rewarding-the Minor Prophets. And to keep the trip interesting, we're going to compare each prophet's story with a popular movie theme.In our first stop, we'll look at Julia Roberts turned prostitute in Pretty Woman and relate it to God's merciful treatment of Gomer in Hosea. Then we'll see how Morgan Freeman's tough love high school principal, Joe Clark, stacks up against God's holiness in Zephaniah. Finally, we'll visit the book of Malachi, where a pack of Scarlett O'Hara wannabees learn how to hold onto hope when their Tara is trashed. And because traveling is more fun with friends, you'll find a special DVD inside, so you can join me and my book group as we wind our way through these scenic and encouraging stops in the Minor Prophets.See you on the road!LisaLisa Harper is the author of 'Tough Love, Tender Mercies: Three Short Stops in the Minor Prophets (On the Road with Lisa Harper)', published 2005 under ISBN 9781414302775 and ISBN 1414302770.
