Hosea Taylor was a well-known musician and community figure in Rochester. Victor author Kathleen Blasi learned of his death in 2016 and felt his story could make a good children's book.

The book of Hosea is full of sadness and hope, grief and comfort for the future. And yet, Hosea’s message that he brings is also one of dire existential warning, ...

Hosea’s words and actions stem from his own personal inclinations. In the Bible, God orders him to marry Gomer; in Steinberg’s book, the marriage comes about naturally.

In Hosea, we hear God’s broken heart, his longing for his covenant people, who were so often unfaithful to him. And they actually turned against him, the very one who helped them (Hos. 13:9).

In this book, Hosea is called to love and take back an unfaithful wife. It is a must-read for any person dealing with adultery. In our own lives, we may find ourselves in similar situations.

My latest book, the verse-by-verse study of Hosea ("Hosea: Love When It Matters Most"), is finally live on Amazon.
