Abstract

Excerpt: "This book has been stewing inside of me for a long time. When I was sixteen years old, I sat in a living room in Round Rock, Texas at a Young Life meeting and heard a college kid tell the story of Hosea and Gomer and then say, "God loves us like that." I'd never heard anything like that and I now know that Hosea was not a story regularly told in Young Life. I have no idea why my Young Life leader chose it. Regardless, that image has stuck in my head for almost thirty years.

Other experiences along the way; in ministry, my personal life, my life with my family or books that I have read have lodged themselves in my mind as well. Together they have formed a sort of stew brewing in the crockpot of my head and my heart. This book is an attempt to communicate what has come from all of that."
