An attractive storybook retelling of the book of Amos which will introduce 7–10–year–olds to the major lessons from this minor prophet. In a land filled with good things, there lived a shepherd named Amos. God called him to tell His people that He had seen the bad things they were doing – and the pain and suffering they caused. Although God had been so kind to Israel, and tried to warn them again and again, they mistreated people and rejected God’s word. Amos brings them a warning of judgement – but also a message of hope. Brian Wright and John Brown show how Amos’s prophecy ultimately points to Jesus. This minor prophet offers major lessons, teaching readers about repentance and promoting justice, two aspects of the Christian life as essential today as when Amos first wrote.
This book introduces readers to three Hebrew prophets of the eighth century BCE, Amos, Hosea, and Micah. After a survey of the historical background for these prophets, and a brief introduction to each, five selected prophecies of Amos, Hosea, and Micah are discussed in detail. At the conclusion of each passage questions are provided for reflection, making the book suitable for Bible study and small group discussions.

The arc of Amos Alonzo Stagg's life spanned the presidencies of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. His career flourished on the Chicago Midway and found an encore on California's Pacific coast and in Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Valley. During his life, Stagg witnessed great change in the world; in the sphere of collegiate sports, he was responsible for much of that change. Stagg pioneered use of the tackling dummy, the huddle, the forward pass, the shift, the man-in-motion, the quick kick and the short punt. He developed the raw talent of young men with little or no athletic background long before the age of scholarship athletes, and his championship teams at the University of Chicago established the school's national reputation before it became famous for producing Nobel laureates. He helped shape the modern Olympic Games, and the coaching tree he nurtured continues to bear fruit in football programs across the country. Author Jennifer Taylor Hall traces the remarkable life of the "Grand Old Man of Football."
