In our series, 50 Books of the Bible in 50 Weeks, we transition to the books of the prophets. The first of these books is the book of Isaiah, written by a man who is not just a prophet, but likely also a priest, evangelist, and perhaps even a statesman. He is called by God to prophesy in a dramatic way. And he ministers through the reign of four different kings.
