Amos

"Wrestling with Amos is worth it. My hope is that by the time we have travelled together through this small, strange, and supremely interesting book of the Bible, you would be more enthralled by what we have in Jesus and more committed to living as his disciple."

Matthias Bible Guides assist in personal and group study of various books of the Bible, one book at a time. In this volume, well-known Bible teacher and pastor David Jackman brings his decades of experience in expository ministry to the letter of 2 Corinthians. David is a sure guide to this important letter, with his incisive comments on the text matched by the warmth of his pastoral insight.
