From Series: "Messy Love"

The book of Hosea is a very messy book. More than any other prophet, Hosea linked his message closely with his personal life. By marrying a woman he knew would eventually betray his trust. The cycle of repentance, redemption, and restoration evident in Hosea’s prophecy—and even his marriage remains intimately connected to our lives. This sequence plays itself out in the lives of real people, reminding us that the Scriptures are far from a mere collection of abstract statements with no relation to real life. No, they work their way into our day-to-day existence, commenting on issues that impact all our actions and relationships.
