God's Word for Today: Hosea: Critic and Comforter for Today by Rudolph F. Norton, Rudolph F. Norden epub fb2 djvu

Each study in the God s Word for Today series provides an in-depth exploration of a book of the Bible. Each session includes: background information on the book of the Bible, its author, audience, occasion, and purpose; learning experiences that promote exciting and challenging discussions; notes for leaders that answer questions, suggest a learning process, and provide additional information; and discussion starters that help participants apply God s Word to their daily lives. God draws parallels between Hosea s marriage and His relationship with the Israelites and ultimately with us. Sin was running rampant; yet people refused to change their sinful ways and turn back to God is this a problem today? Hosea is a story of sinful people called to give up their sinfulness for the freedom of forgiveness offered by a loving God.
