Product Description

Amos was a pretty normal guy. He lived on a small farm outside the hustle and bustle of the big city, tending to his sheep and growing sycamore-figs. (Sycamore-figs are special figs found in the Middle East and have a yellowish-red colour.)

But God had a big job for him to do one day! How would he respond? Learn more about the farmer prophet and how he bravely stood up to wayward kings and false priests, in this heroic showdown of good versus evil.

This Tale of Old is based on the true story found in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, in the Book of Amos. Be sure to check out all 12 minor prophet books in this Tale of Old collection series. Each book also comes with a simple art & craft exercise questions for parents to solidify the main points of each minor prophet book.

PREFACE

The Tales of Old collection came to mind when we were systematically going through the Old Testament with our young children. Although there are countless children’s books about David & Goliath, Jonah & The Whale, etc., we were hard-pressed to find any good resources on the minor prophets as a whole. As Christian parents, we believe that all Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching… yes, even the obscure and often neglected minor prophets!

Breaking them down was not an easy task, as these prophets spanned centuries and covered various periods of time such as the United Monarchy of Israel, Divided Monarchy of Israel, Assyrian Invasion of Israel, Babylonian Invasion of Judah, Babylonian Exile, and The Return. The most beautiful part however, is how they all point to Jesus Christ. We pray that this simple resource will be a blessing in your home, as it has been in ours.
