In The Preacher and the Prostitute, E.K. Bailey retells the story of Hosea in soliloquy-like form. Bailey has formed the story into a compelling message, making it seem that Hosea is speaking directly to the reader. With a plotline that rivals any racy soap opera today, the book of Hosea is clearly applicable to our own immoral society.
Super short, but this story is like a tract for Christians who sometimes forget that our sense of justice must be hand in hand with our sense of mercy.
A beautiful story. I don't remember the story having been beautiful before.
