Book Reviews of Redeeming Love
Book Review: A Timeless/Timely picture of God's love
Summary: 5 Stars
'Redeeming Love' is both timeless and timely. I found myself nodding (affirmatively) as redemption becomes a reality for 'Angel'. Francine Rivers portrays so intimately God's personal, diffinitive, non-religious love for us in Michael, Miriam and eventually in Paul. As the wife of an author (and preliminary editor)I understand the skill of writing. After reading only two books written by Francine I can tell I will be devoted to reading all others written by her. I particularly love the message that God is committed to meeting us all in our own places of need. There are many insinuations that the 'religious habits' of our various cultures are weak at best.....that we need to hear the
pertinent, 'individual' voice of God in our lives in order for Him to guide us moment by moment and step by step. .....A thoroughly thought provocative read and challenge. Thank you.

Summary of Redeeming Love
California's gold country, 1850. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. What she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea. A man who seeks his Father's heart in everything, Michael obeys God's call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel's every bitter expectation until, despite her resistance, her heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. So Angel runs. Back to the darkness...A powerful retelling of the book of Hosea, Redeeming Love is a life-changing story of God's unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love. A page-turner.In this splendid retelling of the biblical story of Hosea, bestselling author Francine Rivers pens a heartbreaking romance between a prostitute and the upright and kind farmer who marries her; the story also functions as a reminder of God's unconditional love for his people. Redeeming Love opens with the Gold Rush of 1850 and its rough-and-tumble atmosphere of greed and desire. Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a child, has learned to distrust all men, who see her only as a way to satisfy their lust. When the virtuous and spiritual-minded Michael Hosea is told by God to marry this "soiled dove," he obeys, despite his misgivings. As Angel learns to love him, she begins to hope again but is soon overwhelmed by fear and returns to her old life. Rivers shines in her ability to weave together spiritual themes and sexual tension in a well-told story, a talent that has propelled her into the spotlight as one of the most popular novelists in the genre of Christian fiction. This is one of her best. --Cindy Crosby
