I can never remember the order of the ‘minor’ prophets in the Old Testament. And looking a book of the Bible up using the contents page, whilst at theological college, is not the best look ; ).

Here’s a mnemonic I’m finding helpful as I preach through Jonah (and thus have a good reason to finally learn the order):

“How jaded are our juvenile minds, never having zeal, having zero motivation.”

Catchy, if a bit negative.

And here are the books in order, for practice:

Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
