"'God does His greatest work through frail people. He helps us become the people we are meant to be.'
"That's one of the observations that author and Happy Catholic blogger Julie Davis makes in her latest book 'Thus Sayeth the Lord: A Fresh Take on the Prophets' - and it's a realization she came to after her Catholic women's book club piqued her interest in the prophets of the Bible.
"During a 'Christopher Closeup' interview . . ., Julie noted
that the Hebrew word for prophet means 'mouth,' so these figures are
sharing words from God Himself. Sometimes they tell you things you want
to hear, but often the message is challenging both to the prophet and
society at large. That was certainly the case with the first prophet
Julie studied - Jonah - whose story seems especially relevant to modern
audiences."
In a recent commentary, Tony Rossi, of The Christophers, offered a reflection on some of the reasons why God uses human help.
