The Story of Amazing Love: The Story of Hosea DVD

A lot has been written and talked about the current state of our culture and how its identity has become very consumer-based. And how the results of that have affected relationships today, having friendships and even marriages break apart whenever a troublesome period arrives or when people don't want to make an effort to grow that relationship. The film Amazing Love: The Story of Hosea, shows an incredible story that lets us know that in the Old Testament times a similar dilemma had occurred, rejecting that this problem only happens nowadays.

In Amazing Love: The Story of Hosea DVD, Stuart, a church youth group leader (Sean Astin) plans a weekend camping experience for his youth group. Him and his wife, Beth pack the teenagers and head to their adventure. Defying all the plans Stuart and his wife had planned is problematic teen Ashley (Savannah Jayde) who was forced to go on the trip by her grandmother. Before leaving with the group to their camping destination Ashley's attitude and reputation was already creating a space between her and the rest of the youth group kids. To the teens, is a difficult feat to demonstrate love to someone who has not earned it. Stuart understands that Ashley is somewhat misinterpreted and needs another opportunity. Ashley's snarky approach to everything doesn't make giving her a chance easy on everybody around her. Ashley feels like she can't be understood and that no one knows all the things she has gone through in her life. The trip has had a difficult run but on the final night, their youth group leader Stuart is compelled to tell them a story from the Bible, Hosea (Elijah Alexander) and Gomer (Themina Sunny) story. By hearing this beautiful story of redemption and unfailing love, the teenagers learn about an amazing love and a God who is even cooler than what they imagined.

One of the amazing things from Amazing Love: The Story of Hosea DVD is how well both stories are intertwined. In Hosea's story, he learned how God felt when His people gave Him their back and started worshiping false gods and idols.

The film explains how Hosea, at first does not understand how God would continue to love Israel's people who did not show love back to Him but then realizes that God loves Israel because His love does not depend on their actions.
