Book 30 - Amos

A forgotten key to relating to the time leading up to the rejection of ancient Judea? The book shows that God can use ordinary individuals, like the shepherd and farmer Amos, for His purposes.

The Book of Amos is also a powerful call to stand up for the oppressed and vulnerable, which includes fair business practices, honest dealings, and caring for the needy.

The seldom-cited book emphasizes that true worship involves living out righteousness, compassion, and justice, not just empty rituals. The book calls people to seek God by seeking good for others and contains a final, hopeful promise of future restoration and the rebuilding of Jerusalem.

Amos's message is still relevant, serving as a reminder that God's anger is provoked when people cause others to suffer and that He calls people to live out their faith in all areas of life.
