" Inspire and callenge us today"

if you read the conclusion, you read the whole book. this phrase occurs no less than 100 times in every single chapter. the book reads like it was written by a robot. this book may be suitable for early middle school reading. finally, the book of Zephaniah is summarized by quoting a verse from micah, demonstrating the authors lack of familiarity with prophetic books.
