Book Reviews of Redeeming Love (G K Hall Large Print Book Series)
Book Review: Compelling story of a struggle for love and redemption.
Summary: 5 Stars
Francine Rivers has written some of the best romance novels on the market.
In this work, she has completely transcended the genre to produce one of the best novels on the market.
Angel, the girl sold into prostitution as a child, is portrayed with a sensitivity, realism, and depth that is rarely found anywhere.
Her struggles to escape her haunted past are both wrenching and uplifting, and the flow of events has a sense of inevitability.
The supporting cast contains a host of likeable, interesting, believable characters, and the writing style is highly polished.
This is a book for anyone who likes romances or stories about the search for faith or stories about the strength of the human spirit.
I have lost count of the number of times that I have picked up this book to reread a favorite passage, and it has never yet failed to move me.
Summary of Redeeming Love (G K Hall Large Print Book Series)
Can God?s Love Save Anyone?Best-selling author Francine Rivers skillfully retells the biblical love story of Gomer and Hosea in a tale set against the exciting backdrop of the California Gold Rush. The heroine, Angel, is a young woman who was sold into prostitution as a child. Michael Hosea is a godly man sent into Angel?s life to draw her into the Savior?s redeeming love. This remarkable novel has sold over a million copies globally and has been a fixture on the CBA bestsellers list for nearly a decade. A six-part reading guide, suitable for individual use or group discussion, is included in this best-selling novel.
Story Behind the Book
?Writing Redeeming Love was a form of worship for me. Through it, I was able to thank God for loving me even when I was defiant, rebellious, contemptuous of what I thought being a Christian meant, and afraid to give my heart away. I had wanted to be my own god and have control of my life the way Eve did in the Garden of Eden. Now I know to be loved by Christ is the ultimate joy and fulfillment. Everything in Redeeming Love was a gift from the Lord: plot, characters, theme. None of it is mine to claim.?
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
