God is love, which Christianity teaches us through its teachings and parables. In Hosea: The prophet who married a prostitute by Joseph Descans, the author uses a fictional romance story to paint a picture of the relationship between God and his children. Hosea, a prophet and man of faith, got a vision to marry Candace, a prostitute, and have children with her. On the other hand, Candace, a prostitute at the time, just wanted to escape her living conditions and quickly grabbed Hosea's offer.

They got married, and she and Hosea settled in his home. Through the teachings of Hosea and Juanita, she became a better person and embraced Jesus and Christianity. She'd also go on to give birth to children for Hosea. However, with every happy story come trials and temptations. Over time, we would see her lapses in judgment, how Hosea would try to correct them, and the repercussions of her actions. Hosea: The prophet who married a prostitute is a must-read for people aiming to understand how God's love encompasses and is always there for us.

This book was a beautiful one; most of all, I loved the message it passed across. The author used this beautiful story to relay essential lessons on obedience, tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, and, most significantly, love. In compliance, we see Hosea obeying God's instructions even when they don't seem favorable to him. We could also see his acceptance and willingness to help everyone he came across. The author represented the lessons this book contained quite well. Readers would also witness how God's love and grace were patient and gentle with Candace, allowing her to learn from her mistakes but not totally writing her off.

This book had 29 chapters, which were adequately represented, and the story flowed at a fantastic pace, doing its best to ensure the audience followed. It was written in the third-person perspective, focusing on either Hosea or Candace at the start of each chapter. This book indeed met and surpassed my expectations. I must also commend the author for the editing carried out on this book. I only encountered two minor errors while reading.

Hosea: The prophet who married a prostitute receives 5 out of 5 stars from me for its beautiful presentation and exciting lessons. I recommend this book to audiences interested in romance, life experiences, and books that teach love and tolerance. Christians can also pick up this book as it touches on the Christian religion.

Wow the title of the book is thought provoking. The story of Hosea is not as popular as Samuel and other prophets in the bible but it definitely has valuable lessons and I'd love to see how the author incorporated that in the book

The author aims to send across a message through the wonderful storyline. I wonder why the author chose to use "Hosea" though. Thanks for your precise review.

What pastor would marry a prostitute? The title alone would make one quickly grab a copy of the book to read. Also I like the themes of love, forgiveness and perseverance in the book. I bet there would be a plethora of lessons to be learned from the pastors life.

I love the story of Hosea in the Bible, and I'm equally surprised the author chose to use the same name for his protagonist. God's ways are not the ways of man, as he works mysteriously.
