"In The Roar of Justice, Vanessa K. Hawkins invites us to listen closely to God's Word and see that God's heart for justice is not only a theme in Amos but a resounding thread woven throughout all of Scripture. She shows that God's justice is not just a topic for discussion—it is part of who he is and how he calls us to live. This powerful study will help you hear God's voice more clearly and experience his heart for the flourishing of all people."

"In his book The Prophets, Abraham J. Heschel wrote, 'Justice is a divine concern.' However, many disciples of Jesus Christ are befuddled by what justice means and how to do justice. Fortunately, my former seminary and Sunday school student Vanessa K. Hawkins has generously gifted us a thoughtfully designed and biblically grounded interactive study towards making God's concern for doing justice our concern as well. Praise God for Hawkins and her good and timely work, The Roar of Justice!"

"Many Christians today would have a hard time just naming a minor prophet in the Bible, much less knowing and applying Amos as God's living word for us today. It is no wonder that Christians are often unsure what to believe in our highly polarized world about crucial biblical issues like justice, poverty, idolatry, repentance, and mercy. These are the exact themes that the minor prophets confronted God's people about when they began to lose their way. Vanessa K. Hawkins has done us all an enormous service by creating a study guide for one of the most important, yet least studied, minor prophets."

"Justice has become a hot-button issue in our churches. Merely reading the word as it occurs in a text of Scripture can send the hypervigilant to their well-run ruts on the cultural left or right. My friend Vanessa Hawkins is a non-anxious leader, and it comes out in this study. To study the Bible on justice, she says, requires looking into the heart of God. That will calm, convict, and commission us to participate in the Father's just mission, which cost him his only begotten Son."
