Most of it was quite... weird. It has a whole story arc of a bunch of church kids going on an outing, with a modern worldly girl who has to tag along. The actors in these parts of the movie are pretty bad. It is also not very well written, with lots of lines that sound very unnatural.

The best parts of the Movie start when one of the characters starts telling the story of Hosea. Hosea's story is very cool. He refuses to give in to others demands and insists on telling the word of God to the people, even though almost all of his words are harsh and the people hate them. He took a wife who was not faithful and she betrayed him more than once. But in the end when she was being sold as a slave he bought her back and showed her and others how amazing love can be.

Comparison: biblical story of Hosea vs. Amazing Love Bible: Hosea's wife most likely is an active prostitute that repeatedly sells herself, and when God tells him to buy her for a time he literally means for him to buy her as other men do.

Movie: Hosea's wife simply has a roving eye, and doesn't necessarily repeatedly sell herself, but instead simply is bribed with nice things from one man. When that man was done with her he sold her into slavery, from which Hosea bought her back, saving her from a worse fate.

This movie was kinda cheap however there are great significant and valuable lessons displayed. We see the comparison between the biblical account and a group of teens camping out. The biblical account is God communicating to his people the Israelites. God had a covenant with them but regardless of that they kept on cheating on God. This movie does a great job displaying how God was using Hosea to communicate to his people and how that applies to the campers lives and in return applies to our lives. I'm not giving any spoilers but the campers and the bible characters all match up so in the end it's basically the same story with a few modern differences. This is a great family movie, appropriate and educational for all ages.

The Amazing Love of Hosea.

Have you ever wanted to visually see what happened in the book of Hosea? The movie Amazing Love allows us to have a visual to apply to the story of Hosea and Gomer. This story start with the pastor taking the youth kids on a camping trip for a weekend when an unexpected person shows up. Ashely is an outsider to the other kids she doesn't exactly fit in. The others view her as self-revolved and stuck up.

Later on in the movie Ashely and one of the youth group girls get into a quarrel about something. This causes the girls to walk away annoyed and frustrated at each other. The pastor sees this and decides to tell the story of Hosea and his wife Gomer. Just like in the book of Hosea, the pastor tells of how God told Hosea to marry Gomer despite her reputation. Then he goes on to tell the kids about how Gomer is more focused on jewelry and material things rather than God. He added a story of how Gomer cheated on Hoseah with a wealthy man but then that man ended up selling her as a slave, but in the Bible, it doesn't specifically say how Gomer ended up being sold. Then he ends the story with Hosea buying Gomer back. The pastor adds a lot of context and extra things to the story to help the kids understand what happened, but for the most part, the main points are the same.

This is an important story to know and study because it can help us understand the love that God has for us, and how He feels when we choose to turn our backs on Him. God used the marriage of Hosea and Gomer as a reflection of God's relationship with the people of Israel at the time. This movie does a good job of showing the pain that Hosea went through when Gommer was unfaithful to him. But just as Hosea loved Gommer with amazing love, so does the lord love his people with an unexplainable love.so I would say this movie is worth it if you are looking for something to help you have more context to how the story took place.
