About this ebook

Hosea has been charged by God with a difficult task--marry a prostitute in order to show God's people the nature and depth of his love for Israel. When Hosea goes to Israel to proclaim God's message, the prostitute God tells him to marry turns out to be his childhood friend Gomer. He finds her broken and abused, unwilling to trust Hosea or his God. But when marrying Hosea becomes her only choice, Gomer does what she's good at--she survives. Can Hosea's love for God and God's love for Israel heal Gomer's broken spirit?

With her potent combination of in-depth research and masterful storytelling, Mesu Andrews brings to life a complex and fascinating biblical story of the power of love and forgiveness in the face of utter betrayal.

Ratings and reviews

This was such a wonderful read and really drew me in. Mesu is truly a gifted writer, this book has left me yearning to delve deeper into the wealth and richness of God's word.

Way too many similarities between this and Redeeming Love. It was interesting enough, but a lot of it fell flat for me.

Mesu is a historical author of the old testament stories she uses real and fictional characters in a very readable way
