Book Review: The Prophet: Amos

The Prophet: Amos by Francine Rivers
4 of 5 stars


This was one of my favorites out of the Sons of Encouragement series so far because it took a book that most people can't even fathom or understand, including me, and fleshed it out into a story that people can connect with. We see more of the man behind the prophesies and are able to understand the world he was living with. I reread Amos after reading this book, and had an entirely different perspective. In a culture in which people are very conscious of judgment for anything on anyone, it was interesting to see into the world of a man sent to tell the world of God's judgment and then to witness the types of persecution he was willing to endure for God. It was an encouraging story for a modern Christ follower, especially a missionary sent to proclaim the Good News. Inspiring.
