About this listen

Behind the men who shaped history are the heroes who forever changed it. In The Prophet, the fourth book in the Sons of Encouragement series, beloved author Francine Rivers illuminates the life of Amos. Francine examines the life of Amos and his relationship to Israel during its prosperous years. Amos' message and his relationship with God made him unpopular. But his challenge to those who were enjoying the blessings of prosperity was crucial then and is strikingly timely today as well.

I've been listening to several Francine Rivers books lately and this was the latest one. I think fleshing out Bible stories to make them more understandable and relatable is an excellent idea. However, I found this one a little disappointing. It's a pretty frustrating story overall - God calls Amos the faithful shepherd to go and prophesy to the wayward tribes of Israel, to turn them away from wickedness and back to God. Filled with God's spirit, Amos tries for 10 years to do God's bidding. He's unsuccessful, nobody listens to him, and he's ultimately murdered. So it's not a very rewarding or satisfying story! The narrator however is excellent; the only issue I had with his diction was that he pronounced Amos "Amus".

The tone of the story is actually pretty sanctimonious, especially towards the end, which gets a little bit wearing. It's like listening to a vicar preaching a sermon, with every chapter having little homilies, lessons to be learnt and symbolic meanings about shepherds with their sheep. Very much overemphasizing God's father heart for his lost sheep. As a Christian, I like a good sermon as much as the next person, but overall this has made me a little less eager to pursue Francine Rivers' books in the future....

Not one of her best
