Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: JW Dundee's Honey Brown Lager
Wednesday, March 22, 2023
Books read in 2023: No. 10 - The Book of Obadiah
Started: March 22
Finished: March 22
Notes: As this is one of the shortest books in the Bible, I thought I'd go ahead and read it before moving on to other material.
Mini review: This short book focuses upon God's punishment of the kingdom of Edom and his promise to restore Israel.
Books read in 2023: No. 9 -- The Book of Amos
Started: March 21
Finished: March 22
Notes: Here's the next of the prophetic works from the latter part of the Old Testament. Doing a little digging, I discovered that scholars generally believe this to have been the first written of the prophetic works of the Old Testament.
Mini review: Speaking through the prophet Amos, God basically tells of how He will punish various nations including Israel for their sins against Him, though at least Israel will eventually be revived.

Tuesday, March 07, 2023
Books read in 2023: No. 5 -- The Book of Joel
Started: March 7
Finished: March 7
Notes: If I'm ever going to finish reading this Bible, I need to get to it. This being one of the shorter books, I thought I'd slip it in between my other readings.
Mini review: Early in this book are warnings of tragedies to come, but most of the rest of the book are warnings to nations other than Judah and Israel. There's not much context here, so it's difficult to pinpoint a period of when these prophecies and warnings would be important, but in my opinion the latter part of this book seemed to about the Second Temple Period or at least the post-exile, but there really isn't enough information to say for sure.

Tuesday, January 31, 2023
Books read in 2023: No. 3 -- The Book of Hosea
Started: Jan. 30
Finished: Jan. 31
Notes: It's time to get back to some Bible reading. I'm near the end of the Old Testament now, entering the shorter works of the later prophets.
Mini review: Most of this is the prophet Hosea and God calling upon the Israelites to return to God or to face awful consequences, which seems a common thread for most of the prophets.
