The Book of Joel in 10 Minutes

The Book of Joel is short, vivid, and a little dramatic—in the best way. It opens with a full-blown crisis (a devastating plague), then turns that chaos into a powerful wake-up call about reflection, renewal, and collective responsibility. Along the way, Joel blends poetry, prophecy, and hope, painting a picture of loss that doesn't end in despair but in the possibility of restoration. It's a fast read with big ideas, reminding us that even after upheaval, change and renewal are still very much on the table.
