The first half of this book is an enjoyable read that brings deeper context to the most prominent persons in the Old Testament. The second half takes a deep dive into Hosea and completely opened my eyes. What once was a confusing story has now become one of the most impactful books of the Old Testament. Heroes Kneel is a well-written, multipurpose book that can be read cover to cover, studied in a small group, or used to dive deeper into the Word. The author does an incredible job of flooding the pages with relevant scripture whilst organizing it in a way that’s simple and effective. Whether you’re a lifelong Christian or questioning the truth of the Bible, this book is a profound and transformative read.

Great book for a deep study of God in the Old Testament with a focus on the book of Hosea. This is not a quick read, but encourages doing some digging. The book is filled with lots of interesting footnotes and some fun trivia thrown in.
Part 1 is filled with stories of the Old Testament leaders who were called “My servant” by God Himself. Part 2 focuses on the book of Hosea and how we see God’s example of servant love and see Jesus in this story.
In the author’s words this book, “is a down-to-earth quest to better know Jesus and cheerfully serve just like Him. Because the closer we draw to Him, the less selfish we become.”

Absolutely fantastic! If I were to hire a ghostwriter it would be Alex. Has great insight and it is definitely worth a read.
