Floss Craig

Releases new novel “Allured into the Wilderness”

“With writing that carries us straight back to 8 B.C. Israel and keeps us there, Floss Craig takes a fresh look at a much ignored and misunderstood Biblical story.” - Nancy Rue two-time Christie Award winning author

In this fictionalized story from scripture’s Book of Hosea, we learn about Gomer, known in scripture only for her sin of adultery. Who was she prior to their marriage and why, when offered genuine love and compassion, did she reject them in favor of a lifestyle where she faces degradation and abuse? We feel Gomer’s inner turmoil as she struggles to adapt to new roles of wife and mother, and acceptance into a culture where the law of the land allows the death penalty for adultery.

Delve into the conflicting emotions of Hosea who obeys God’s call on his life to marry a harlot, though, when faced with her infidelity, he fluctuates between grief and anger, faith and hope. Hosea tastes the heart of HaShem for the unfaithful nation of Israel in 8th century BC to prepare him for sixty years of prophetic ministry.

Find yourself in this tangled emotional quandary, knowing what is right, yet like Gomer, clinging to a familiar, destructive lifestyle even after HaShem offers a new life with Him.  

The book includes an engaging group discussion guide.  Purchase the book on your favorite e-reader or print copy. Available on Apple, Barnes&Noble, Amazon, or Kobo!
