As Walter Chantry shows in this absorbing book, Habakkuk lived out his name by wrestling with God in prayer in the midst of a national and international situation resembling our own in many respects. As we read his prophecy, we hear Habakkuk pray, then listen as the Almighty responds. The divine response at first seems overwhelming. Yet at its centre is a glorious revelation of the very heart of the gospel. In this brief exposition, previously published in the <em>Banner of Truth<\/em> magazine, Chantry draws out themes that are timely, challenging, but ultimately full of comfort.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Introduction<\/td>\n<td>vii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>A Prophet\u2019s Burden (1:1\u20134)<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>Divine Instruments of Justice (1:5\u201311)<\/td>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>Great Prayers in Devastating Times (1:12\u20132:1)<\/td>\n<td>23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>A Revelation for All Time (2:2\u20134)<\/td>\n<td>33<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>God\u2019s Great Purposes of History (2:15\u201317)<\/td>\n<td>45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>The Ultimate Ridicule of the Proud (2:18\u201320)<\/td>\n<td>55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>Habakkuk\u2019s Third Prayer (3:1\u201319)<\/td>\n<td>65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>Spectators of Divine Majesty (3:3\u201316)<\/td>\n<td>75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>Habakkuk: A Book for Times of Extreme Crisis (3:17\u201319)<\/td>\n<td>85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Appendix: Calvin on Quietness in Adversity<\/td>\n<td>95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chantry draws out themes that are timely, challenging, but ultimately full of comfort. 112pp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":128256,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1228],"product_tag":[5595],"class_list":{"0":"post-484","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-sermons-and-expositions","7":"product_tag-ebooks","8":"pa_binding-ebook","9":"pa_binding-paperback","10":"pa_binding-paperback-ebook","11":"pa_theauthor-chantry-walter-j","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-variable","17":"has-default-attributes"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
