Opening up Amos

The LORD roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds dry up, and the top of Carmel withers. So begins the prophecy of Amos Why does the Lord roar? What had led to such abuses of privilege on the part of the people of Israel in that day? What happens when Gods holiness is offended and when his voice is ignored? Michael Bentley competently leads us through the prophecy, opening it up and applying it powerfully and relevantly to readers today.
