God's Word: Amos by ric gustafson
The author of this book is Amos. He was a shepherd from Tekoa. The book was written around the 760's BC. The book discusses how real religion isn't just ritual. Real religion is treating people with justice. Amos a lowly shepherd took on the rich and powerful of Israelite society. Amos condemned their idol worship, the persecution of God's prophets and the cheating of the poor. God was going to judge the people for their sins. But God was also going to give the people justice and righteousness. Amos told the people seek good and not evil. God knows our true spiritual condition.
