Description
*Condition Note: Book is very clean and lightly used.*
"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? Or a discussion around a casserole at the church potluck? 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, Jonah, 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 with the assistance of professor and theologian, Jon Dybdal, 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.
