In the current issue of Preach
The spring issue of Preach magazine ( issue 38 ) looks at the hidden treasures of the Minor Prophets .
Maybe it is the description as minor that causes many readers to neglect their existence , or perhaps it is because they are rarely preached on .
But what do these books have to say to us today ? We ’ ll unearth some of the treasures held in these sacred books , from justice to leadership and the very character of God and his promises .

Coming up in Preach 39
The summer issue of Preach magazine looks at the ever-deepening relational theme of ‘ steadfast prayer ’.
Talking with the God of the universe is practised by millions of people throughout the world , but what should our approach to preaching on prayer be so that it then translates to everyday life ?
When our prayers seem to go unanswered , or God appears silent , how do we respond ? Where do we begin praying for the pressing needs of our country and all its communities ? And what about fasting and the work of the Holy Spirit ?
All this and more will be tackled in this coming issue of Preach .
