I think the movie, Amazing Love relates really well to the Hosea story. It talks about all the main parts and adds a nice view point. It showed me Hosea's character. It's one thing to read about how Hosea was but watching someone act out this part was amazing because Hosea was such a special, religious man. The movie related to Hosea's story in many ways while still adding a new view point.

I always knew Hosea was a great guy but watching this movie made me really see how forgiving, kind and loving he was. It relates to Hosea's story in the bible really well. It talks about the kids and the prophecies and Israel, but it highlights Hosea's relationship with Gomer. Gomer is viewed in a bad light, as a whore and an unfaithful woman. She doesn't love and appreciate Hosea and he still loves her with all his heart. The movie gives us a new perspective on that though because the movie says how we shouldn't judge someone if we don't know the whole story and how we should be kind to people like Hosea was. Just a little bit of kindness can change someone's life. Overall it was an enjoyable movie, the filming was good quality ,the acting was realistic, and the movie related to Hosea's story really well.

This story means a lot to me because it really lets us see how someone can have such a big impact on everything. Hosea didn't care what people thought about him and he didn't change his ways to protect his ego, he was completely loyal and faithful to God. It shows that with God we can do anything and more importantly with God we can change peoples lives for the better. In the movie, I really liked the part in which Carrie and Ashley had a fight because it shows another situation in which we can look at Hosea's message. Maybe it wasn't the message he was speaking but it was the message he was showing. We need to always be kind to people and show God's light through our actions because we could change someone's life like Hosea changed Gomer's or like Carrie changed Ashley's. The movie was excellent and added a really nice view point. I would recommend watching it.

I was very impressed and touched by this movie"Amazing Love".It is so good to see how God's heart is so much for man. God is very patient, He never forces us but waits for us to turn our heart to Him.Unconditional love that God has for us. Today so many especially young people are looking for this. They may not know what they are looking for though.God put this desire within each man to know Him and express Him. The time of Hosea was very much like the days of Noah and also the same as the age we live in today. I am going to recommend this movie to my grandchildren. Thank you for producing a movie that makes you feel encouraged.

I expected an acting, writing, and directing quality on a par with The Chosen, given the common heritage. I've never seen a dramatic production of Hosea and I love the biblical story so I was looking forward to seeing this one.

The Bible story part of the movie is true to the biblical narrative, along with necessary dramatic additions to turn an old story into a modern dramatization. As others have said: good lessons and true to the Bible.

But the acting is painful, on a par with high school drama. The writing is adolescent. Otherwise good actors have a hard time delivering the lines because the language is so choppy and hard to relate to. I hate to say it but this is another typical B-grade production from the Christian drama department.

There's another story that takes up about 60% of the screen time about camp kids in the modern age that are told the story of Hosea and Homer around the campfire. This story basically reduces the target audience to adolescent christians.

If this were focused on Hosea and Gomer and developed into a full dramatization of the biblical story I'd give it a 70-75% even with the disappointing production; with the unnecessary sideline I downgrade it to 50%.

I was unsure about this movie as far a Christian movie. Once we started it we realized that this was going to be sort of a comedy. I have led many youth trips and several into the woods, and this really hit the dynamic really well. I won't lie and say the acting was good, but the story was. I liked the combining of two movies. One about a youth trip and the other about the prophet Hosea. It was a movie that really communicated the love of Christ for us. I would recommend this as a family safe movie that is moving for a small group.

This movie starts out with a small group of campers from a church going camping and one "outsider" coming along for the trip against her will. She does not want to fit in nor do some of those on the trip care if she does. Through the intervention of the youth leader and his wife and of course a wonderful bible story, hearts are changed.

I like the way the movie began with all those teenagers. Their characters were all different, some were mean and some were good. I like the man because he always shows respect to the teenagers. He help a lot to them that their personal lives were changed at the end because of hosea story. The bad thing for me was when the movie began with the girls hating each other, they were not getting along. It was tough for them, it took a long time for them to get along. But at the end they started talking to each other and started to telling each other about themselves. It was very nice.

Compare

Israel was not following God. God told Hosea to marry the unfaithful women. God told them to have 3 children named Jezreel, Lo-ammi, and Lo-ruhamah, and then She cheated with other men, after that she became a slave and Hosea bought her and they were together again.

Contrast

I thought she cheated Hosea because she was bored of him in the story and she didn't know anything about God, for the movie I saw was that she cheated for money at that time. When Gomer was a slave I thought Hosea bought from the men that Gomer was cheated with but Hosea bought her from another man. At the end they were together again with faith and they trusted each other.

Personal application

This movie teaches me about how much faith Hosea has on God and teaches Hosea how God feels when he has been rejected from his people. It was really hard for Hosea to go through those stuff that have happened to God. God just wants to teach us how much he loves them and show him how much he cares for those who rejected God.

Conclusion

It was a good ending. Some parts of the movie were not the same as the bible but it went great on it.
