The message of hope is the message of the Bible. In this book by Clarence Sexton, we enter into the marvelous story of God’s enduring love for us as illustrated by the prophet Hosea and his unfaithful wife, Gomer. In bringing us to Himself, the Lord often hedges our way with painful thorns. He will bring us into a valley of overwhelming trouble from which we cannot free ourselves or our loved ones; yet when we turn to Him, we will find a door of hope, not an exit from trouble, but an entrance into His presence.

A beautiful full-length Bible study book is published for each thirteen-week series. After reading and marking the Scripture passages which correspond to the lesson, the teacher will read the Bible lesson that corresponds with the lesson the Sunday School class is studying. As they read, students should mark key statements or paragraphs to review later. Class members may also desire to obtain this book for further reading.
