Hosea p. 225
The book of Hosea has a completely different feel from Amos' harsh messages of doom and judgement. This prophet was a very sensitive person, whose own experience of rejection and hurt in his personal life gave him unique insight into the way he believed God must have felt when Israel rejected the covenant and neglected God's love.
