Joel, Obadiah, and Micah are three of the smallest yet most influential prophets in the Tanakh.  All three prophesied at a time when the Jewish people faced  imminent danger and threat to their existence, and together, they outlined how the Jewish people, through the proper performance of justice and prayer, could overcome the difficult challenges and create a better future.  Rabbi Yaakov Beasley outlines the historical background in which they lived, and drawing heavily on both traditional and modern approaches, unlocks these books for the contemporary readers.
