The Nature of God Jamie Buckingham

Hosea was the first of all prophets to talk about the nature of God. Not only did he talk about it, he acted it out. Hosea took Gomer, a town prostitute, to be his wife. When she eventually left him, Hosea went back and bought her back from the threat of slavery and death. His actions were an actual demonstration of God's love for his people, of how God gave his most beloved Son, to purchase us and save us from the bonds of sin. The story of Hosea and Gomer is probably the greatest love story in all the Bible because it demonstrates the love God has for us. Are we willing to move into the house of the Lord, or are we going to be like Gomer, and forsake His love and forgiveness and go the way of the prostitute? This is an extraordinary story and it's applications transcend the years. Jamie Buckingham is a master story teller and this is a story he tells in a manner no one else can. This book is based on one of his sermons.
