Love in a Broken Vessel

Treasures of His Love, Book 3

By: Mesu Andrews

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

Hosea has been charged by God with a difficult task-marry a prostitute in order to show God's people the nature and depth of his love for Israel. When Hosea goes to Israel to proclaim God's message, the prostitute God tells him to marry turns out to be his childhood friend Gomer. He finds her broken and abused, unwilling to trust Hosea or his God. But when marrying Hosea becomes her only choice, Gomer does what she's good at - she survives. Can Hosea's love for God and God's love for Israel heal Gomer's broken spirit?

With her potent combination of in-depth research and masterful storytelling, Mesu Andrews brings to life a complex and fascinating biblical story of the power of love and forgiveness in the face of utter betrayal.

Faithful Love

The story dragged a bit in the middle, but that’s alright because it was following the biblical story. Awesome, and made me cry!

God's Enduring Love for People

Hosea's love for Gomer was first in obedience to God. The story shows how God loves us first and then teaches us how to Him in return. And how to love people. His love is for all time!

Stubborn Love

The story of Hosea, a minor prophet in the Old Testament of the Bible, is truly a story of love beyond any other love story you have ever heard. The love of God towards His rebellious people, the Israelites, is the same love God sought to teach Hosea in loving a prostitute named Gomer. Gomer was a woman who eagerly and desperately wanted to be loved by a man, yet through her years as a prostitute and circumstances could not see what God wanted her to learn. After making so many mistakes and trying to give herself what she wanted most Gomer finally understood what God wanted to teach her. Hosea a man of faith, had his own battles to fight, yet each time when tested, his greatest weapon was his faith in God.
This is an awesome story of lies, deceit, adultery, idolatry, forgiveness, faithfulness and love. You will enjoy it from beginning until the very end. RNS
