Derek Kidner

Why would God ask one of his prophets to marry a prostitute? Because he wanted to teach Hosea, the nation of Israel, and all of us today a lesson we will not forget, a lesson that is painful yet joyous.

The Hymn Of Jesus

G. R. S. Mead

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
These marvelous narratives may seem vastly fantastic to the modern mind, but to every shade of Christianity in those days, they were entirely credible. - from The Hymn of Jesus
