For anyone who has read this far, but whose sense of Amos is vague, one of the joys is that it is very focused. Nine chapters, easily read in an evening. (hint, hint)

I spent many years as one of those people who make Rosemary sad - dismissing the Old Testament God as rash, judgmental, angry. I still have to fight that lazy tendency sometimes. But events of recent months have driven me back to the Old Testament where I have found great solace - and grace - in the struggles and insights of the Israelites. Amos is pretty amazing.

Amos was the first book of the OT they put us to study in the old OT1 course @ aberdeen University, alongside Hosea. It was an eyeopener, which really got me into the OT and brought it alive.

Yes, Amos is remarkable. Amos is there like a bed rock. It makes me so sad when readers of the Bible dismiss the ‘O.T. God’ on a superficial basis of a part understanding of the Pentateuch and Judges - and fail ever to discover Amos.
