FOB: Amos

An Ordinary Man with an Extraordinary Message.
Amos had no claim to fame. He was not even a son of a prophet. Neither had he
had any formal training to be a prophet. Yet God called him out from a career
of overseeing Herdsman. He was sent out from the south to bring the Lord's
message to Samaria in the Northern Kingdom. Amos called to speak at the time of
national disunity; military superiority; economic prosperity and religious
activity. Amos brings home the idea of a famine. However it is not food the
people lack like we might expect but there is a famine of the Word of God.
Through this study we will be reminded of the importance of the Word of God in
our lives.
Books on the Old Testament tend to be either technical and tedious or " superficial and moralistic. Once in a while we discover one that breaks the
mould. T. J. Betts has done it! He tells us not only what Amos means but also
why it matters. He proves again that the expositor's task is not to make the
Bible relevant, but to simply show how relevant it is! - Alistair Begg"
