Hosea: The Passion of God - Focus on the Bible Revised edition
Tim Chester
In the message of Hosea we see the passion, jealousy, commitment, heartbreak, enthusiasm and love of God. Let God's passion stir your passion.
Commendation Quotes: This fresh, readable, insightful commentary will lead you to worship a God who is jealous for our affections, and loves us too much to leave us sitting comfortably in apathy! Christians cannot fail to profit from this sound and exciting read. Jeremy McQuoid (Teaching Pastor, Deeside Christian Fellowship, Aberdeen, Scotland) Commendation Quotes: In his commentary Tim Chester has left few scholarly stones unturned yet we are not invited to behave as academic spectators on the text ...difficult issues are not avoided and the prophet's ministry is unerringly allowed to lead us to Christ ... The prayer that accompanies this commentary is that it might stir our passion for God and his ways and to that we add our 'amen'. Ken Armstrong (Pastor, Bessacarr Evangelical Church, Doncaster, England) This is an excellent commentary on an under-preached part of God's word. It is exegetically faithful so that there is a clear sense of what this would have meant to Hosea and his contemporaries. Moreover, it treats Hosea as Christian Scripture, and each part of the commentary takes us clearly to the Lord Jesus. This book has deepened my love for the One who first loved me, and I think it is a valuable addition to the existing commentaries on Hosea. Robin Weekes (Minister, Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon, London) This fresh, readable, insightful commentary will lead you to worship a God who is jealous for our affections, and loves us too much to leave us sitting comfortably in apathy! Christians cannot fail to profit from this sound and exciting read.
