It's Isaiah-this and Isaiah-that all the way through the readings for Advent. Why? Well, consider this —Jesus began his ministry by quoting Isaiah. When it comes to Messianic prophecies, no one nails it like Isaiah and, of course, Jesus knew it.
I was really pleased to hear recently about a father who was reading bits of my chapter about Isaiah to his 5th and 6th grade sons to help them understand the Isaiah-Jesus connection.
If you've got prophet questions or prophet blocks, Thus Sayeth the Lord might be just what you need. It's accessible, it's accurate (complete with Nihil Obstat and and imprimatur), and it might help you see that the prophets still matter right here, right now in 2020.
You can read the Jonah and Deborah chapters at the links. The Amazon sample has the first couple of chapters.
It makes a great Christmas gift — for yourself or others! Pick it up in paperback or for the Kindle at Amazon.
