Latest Release

The greatest love story ever told is that God loved sinful man so much that the Father willingly sent the Son to die for our sins. It is difficult to understand the love that the eternal God has for created man, but he demonstrated his love by his relationship with the Children of Israel. He compared that relationship to that of a husband and wife, but Israel has not been a good wife. She has often played the role of an adulterous woman, but the Lord has lovingly brought her back. Nowhere in the Bible do we see that story quite so graphically as we see it in the first three chapters of Hosea. Can we help but wonder, what must Hosea have gone through when he followed the Lord’s command to “marry a woman of whoredoms and of the children of whoredoms?” It wasn’t enough for him to just marry her. The Lord instructed him to love her.

In his latest novel, Timothy Fish explores the love that Hosea had for Gomer to demonstrate the Lord’s love for Israel. He has set the novel in modern times to help bring home how it must hurt the Lord when we sin against him. The story is that of an English teacher, Geoff Mywell, who is struggling to survive his marriage to Heather. When he comes home one day and discovers that she has left him for another man, he isn’t sure whether to be relieved that she isn’t in the house or upset that his wife has left. The other man soon returns to his wife, but Heather doesn’t go home. Geoff tries to protect her as she makes one bad choice after another, eventually returning to prostitution and then falling into a world so dark that Geoff if uncertain he will ever find her. Geoff has the choice of entering the darkness to find her or risk losing the woman he loves forever.
