By Lee J Hancock

In Hosea's Prophetic Journey: Exploring Divine Love and Judgment in Ancient Israel, Lee J.

Hancock's insightful exploration unpacks Hosea's bold calls to repentance, the striking symbols of his personal life, and the profound theological questions his prophecies raise. With clarity and depth, this book invites readers to understand the human struggles and divine hopes that continue to echo from Hosea's ancient words, reminding us of the boundless nature of divine love and the enduring call for faithfulness.
