The book of Amos begins with a roar. In the opening verses, God makes His voice heard, calling all people to repent from their evil and seek life in Him. In the time of Amos, the nations were acting in violent disregard for human life, oppressing women and slaves, and seeking salvation from created idols. The people of God failed to do much better, ignoring God’s Word, abusing their status, and acquiring wealth at the expense of the most vulnerable people. The prophet Amos was called to share the words of a God who does not sit by idly while His name is dishonored and His image-bearers are abused, wounded, and broken. Instead, Amos prophesied how God’s perfect love demands justice. In this two-week reading plan, we’ll read how this shepherd-farmer was called to challenge God’s people and the nations to reject complacency and seek abundant life in God’s perfect goodness. Join us as we’re reminded that no sin or evil can escape God’s justice—and that every guilty person is invited to seek and find restoration in a life honoring Him.

She Reads Truth is a worldwide community of women who read God's Word together every day. Founded in 2012, She Reads Truth invites women of all ages to engage Scripture through curated daily reading plans, as well as online conversation led by a vibrant community of contributing writers. This community of “Women in the Word of God every day” represents a long list of cities and countries, a variety of backgrounds and traditions, and countless real-life stories. But there is a commonality that binds us: we believe God's Word is Truth. So we read. Every day we read a new passage together—working our way through books of the Bible, topics that matter, and seasons of the Church calendar. We engage with God's Word and with each other. And we keep coming back, on the hard days and the good days, because God and His Word never change, regardless of our circumstances. Source: https://shereadstruth.com/about/
