My Review:
My
go-to commentaries are the "Be" series by Warren Wiersbe. I have had Be Concerned for years but had never read it. It focuses on the Minor Prophets: Amos, Obadiah, Micah, and Zephaniah.
I always learn so much from commentaries and this was no exception. I love that Wiersbe's commentaries are easy to understand and not overly academic. Wiersbe takes small sections of each chapter and breaks them into manageable nuggets of truth. One of the messages of Amos is for us to "hear this word." Wiersbe points out, "If we don't open our hearts to hear His Word and obey Him, we're in grave danger of hardening our hearts and incurring the wrath of God." It's a simple, yet profound truth.
If you want to dive deeper into the books of the Bible, I highly recommend Wiersbe's commentaries!
★★★★/5
Synopsis (Goodreads):
The truth in God’s word illuminates the sinful
state of our fallen world. And throughout history that insight has moved
believers from conviction to action, to share His truth with a world in
need, to burden us with a deep concern for people. But how can we
translate that concern into effective ministry? The prophets Amos,
Obadiah, Micah, and Zephaniah were each called to deal courageously and
honestly with the sin around them. This study explores how their concern
for people shaped their life-changing messages of repentance and
redemption.
Part of Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe’s best-selling “BE”
commentary series, BE Concerned has now been updated with study
questions and a new introduction by Ken Baugh. A respected pastor and
Bible teacher, Dr. Wiersbe encourages us to take a balanced approach to
personal evangelism, and challenges us to lovingly share truths that
offer both conviction and hope.
