The Assyrian people living in Nineveh had escaped by the skin of their teeth. If not for the message of a reluctant Jewish prophet named Jonah, they would have faced God's wrath. But God had given them another chance.Now, just a short time later, the Assyrians are cruelly oppressing God's people again.

So God introduces a new prophet: Nahum. This time the prophet is not coming to help Assyria escape; he's coming to bring "good news" for God's people. But what's the news? Why is it good? And what does it tell us about God and his character?

The short book of Nahum is not only fast-paced and action-packed; it also holds much for us to learn as Christians living in a world opposed to God.

Storming the City is an ideal guide to Nahum for individual Bible study or for use in small groups.
