If you ask Christian which is their favorite book of the Bible the answer will vary from Genesis to Revelations. However, probably very few if any would say my favorite book of the Bible is Habakkuk.

The reason they would not choose this book as their favorite is because they do not know that much about the book of Habakkuk.

In the Scriptures God tells us that the one word that summarizes the Ten Commandments is “love.” But how can that be? Aren’t the Commandments a list of “dos” and “don’ts” or ...read more
