The Dream of God by Verna J Dozier

The Dream of God by Verna J Dozier

The Dream of God is a small masterpiece. . . . Her vision of the Bible is insightful and persuasive, her writing accessible and powerful. -- Marcus Borg This contemporary prophet has touched lives and transformed hearts through her books and talks. Many centuries before Verna Dozier, there was Amos, from the country, speaking out in the market square against the corrupt practices of merchants who 'sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes.' In this century we have Dozier, a black female, spreading God's word in the nation's capital, across the country, and outside its borders. -- Washington Diocese Again and again the Christian church has fallen away from the dream God has for it, a dream in which we are called to follow Jesus and not merely to worship him. Through adept storytelling and Bible study, Dozier reawakens our sense of calling and our desire for truth.

Praise from the first edition:

“This contemporary prophet has touched lives and transformed hearts through her books and talksMany centuries before Verna Dozier, there was Amos, from the country, speaking out in the market square against the corrupt practices of merchants who ‘sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes.’ In this century we have Dozier, a black female, spreading God’s word in the nation’s capital, across the country, and outside its borders.”
