Product Description

According to the Oxford Dictionary, a locust is "a large and mainly tropical grasshopper with strong powers of flight. It is usually solitary, but from time to time there is a population explosion, and it migrates in vast swarms that cause extensive damage to crops".

A giant locust swarm is exactly what happened in the Southern Kingdom of Judah during a period of intense sin and wandering! The locusts destroyed all of the crops and the people had very little to eat, leading them to their knees and the only One who could save them. Learn more about Joel, the locust prophet, and his ancient but ever-true message of repentance and restoration.

This Tale of Old is based on the true story found in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, in the Book of Joel. Be sure to check out all 12 minor prophet books in this Tale of Old collection series. Each book also comes with simple art & craft exercise questions for parents to solidify the main points of each minor prophet book.

PREFACE

The Tales of Old collection came to mind when we were systematically going through the Old Testament with our young children. Although there are countless children’s books about David & Goliath, Jonah & The Whale, etc., we were hard-pressed to find any good resources on the minor prophets as a whole. As Christian parents, we believe that all Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching… yes, even the obscure and often neglected minor prophets!

Breaking them down was not an easy task, as these prophets spanned centuries and covered various periods of time such as the United Monarchy of Israel, Divided Monarchy of Israel, Assyrian Invasion of Israel, Babylonian Invasion of Judah, Babylonian Exile, and The Return. The most beautiful part, however, is how they all point to Jesus Christ. We pray that this simple resource will be a blessing in your home, as it has been in ours.
