The Fidelity of Hosea

In my Old Testament Survey textbook by Lasor et al on the prophet Hosea:

A remarkable story, this! A prophet is called to bear a cross, to experience both the suffering heart and the redeeming love of God. With unflinching obedience Hosea drank a bitter cup. His home was his Gethsemane. In bending to a will not his own, he not only left a poignant illustration of divine love but prepared the way for One who perfectly embodied this love. (262)

A model for us all.

I used the same book! I should find where I put it and start referencing it more often.
