They are called the Twelve Minor Prophets but their message is major. From Amos to Malachi Israel’s prophets thunder divine judgment against God’s people because they have broken the promise they made to God at Sinai.

Hosea gives the most provocative answer—the Lord still loves his divorced, immoral, and hardened woman. His gracious faithful love melts her heart in the end and a soiled bride becomes a virgin again for her bridegroom. What does this bitter –sweet love story have to do with our hardness and Jesus’ amazing grace?
