Hosea : Discovering God’s Fierce Love
$14.99
Uncovers the personal, deeply emotional nature of God’s love
We’re all familiar with heartbreak. We know what it’s like to be betrayed by someone we love.
What we often forget–or may not even realize–is that God can relate to those feelings. Every time we betray Him, He endures intense heartbreak. Only in God’s case, He doesn’t act on paranoia, distrust, or smothering possessiveness, but rather a righteous jealousy, borne of our duty to reserve our highest devotion for Him alone.
With her newest Bible study, Sue Edwards dives into Hosea’s story. This prophet’s life is a stunning illustration of how God’s fierce love for us can manifest wonders. In Hosea’s time, the nation of Israel needed that lesson–and God used the prophet as a teaching tool. This gifted preacher was commanded by God to marry a prostitute named Gomer, and to return to her again and again after she betrayed him in the most public ways.
Hosea’s fascinating story and sermons will revolutionize every reader’s perspective on life’s circumstances. His example shows how God sometimes responds to our betrayal with tough love that reorients our focus and wakes us up to return to intimate fellowship with Him. But even as Hosea’s marriage demonstrates that the tough love of our heavenly Father can be grueling, it is always in our best interest–and it isn’t His final move. Dig into Hosea and discover the truth of God’s ferocious love and merciful purposes.

Red Sea Rules
$16.99Just as Moses and the Israelites found themselves caught between “the devil and the deep Red Sea,” so are we sometimes overwhelmed by life’s problems. But God delivered the Israelites, and He will deliver us too. The Red Sea Rules reveals, even in the midst of seemingly impossible situations, God’s promise to make a way for us. His loving guidance will protect us through danger, illness, marital strife, financial problems–whatever challenges Satan places in our path. Using the Israelites’ story as an example, Robert Morgan offers ten sound strategies for moving from fear to faith. Among them:
Realize that God means for you to be where you are. Acknowledge your enemy, but keep your eyes on the Lord. Pray. Life is hard. It is certain that we will face difficulties, and that God will allow them, as He allowed the Israelites to become trapped between Pharaoh’s rushing armies and the uncrossable Red Sea. But just as certain is the fact that the same God who led us in will lead us out. As The Red Sea Rules makes clear, He is in control. Updated edition with new study questions accompanying each chapter.Add to cart1 in stock
