Cover To Cover - Joel: Getting Real With God By Steve Bishop

The people of Israel were susceptible to distraction, self centred-ness, forgetfulness and apathy. Despite the many times that God had stepped in and rescued them, they regularly took their eyes off God and lived for themselves. So God sent Joel to proclaim His message loud and clear; 'turn back to God and He will show mercy.'

Centuries later, we might share the same tendency to wander away from God. As we consider Joel's prophesy, let's be alert to the implications of God's wake-up call and continue to put Him front and centre in our lives.

These 7 insightful sessions help us to realise that:

• Calamities and earthly disasters can refocus our attention on God
• our need to repent and return to God is ongoing
• God can transform situations that are entirely out of our hands

Icebreakers, Bible readings, personal application and discussion starters make tghis a rich resource for group or individual study.
