Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 20, 2008

Dramatic monologue as if it were from Micah himself, summarizing the entire book around the contrast between practicing ritual in order to avoid judgment vs. living God’s requirements of justice, mercy, and the humble walk.

An Annoying, Discombobulating, Fuzzy-Toothed Inconvenience

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 10, 2010
