The Abundant Life Bible Amplifier: Hosea-Micah

“What this church needs is reform!”

“God’s people need to get back to the practice of following God!”

Does this sound like something from the last sermon you heard? As current as these questions seem, they come right out of six little books near the end of the Old Testament—Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Johan, and Micah.

These small books, written by prophets we know very little about, seldom get the study or attention they deserve. But their messages are real and meaningful. Through the miracle of inspiration, their message can still be heard and applied to our lives.

Prophets are radicals—especially these six prophets. Their radicalness shows itself in the strong flavor of their language and their often extreme actions and lifestyle. The crises of their days demanded leaders who were not afraid to be different.

As you study their messages don’t let the strong words and disturbing ideas turn you away. These radical reformers can lead us to renew God’s church today, if we only allow them to speak.

The Abundant Life Bible Amplifier series is aimed at helping readers understand the Bible better. Rather than merely offering comments on or about the Bible, each volume seeks to enable people to study their Bibles with further understanding.

Busy church members, pastors, teachers, and both beginning and seasoned Bible students will find the Abundant Life Bible Amplifier to be one of the most valuable, user-friendly study tools they’ve ever owned.

Use it in small groups, personal study, prayer meetings, and home fellowships.
