God's Word: Hosea by ric gustafson
The author of the book was probably Hosea. The date of the book is 750 to 722 BC. The book talks about the prophet's marriage to a prostitute and how that reflects God's relationship with Israel. God gives the prophet a strange command. He was to marry a prostitute named Gomer. Hosea was an honorable loving husband. Gomer was an adulteress. The two get married and start a family. Eventually, Gomer returns to her life of sin. Hosea buys her back from the slave market. The book describes God's warnings for disobedience. The book also talks about God's promises of blessing for repentance.
