pc5 Stars Out Of 5dont judge a book by its coverNovember 14, 2014pcQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Redeeming Love.i love this book. It was recommended by my daughter in high school but i kept pushing it aside because the front cover did not interest me. Now its one of my favorite books. I think everyone can relate to it on some level. We must remember we are all worthy and that God's love is for everyone.
I have since read many of Francine Rivers books. They are excellent. I have learned so much history of the bible thru her words. It really helps explain the traditions and customs of those biblical days. And she also has more modern day books and characters. She is truly a gifted writer. If you read one of her books you will definitely want to read all of her books!!! -
Val FraniaWausau, WIAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Redeeming Love is a Great Book!September 3, 2013Val FraniaWausau, WIAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Redeeming Love.Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers takes place in California's gold country in the 1850s. It is about a woman, Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a child and spent her entire life full despondency because of her hatred for the men who used her. Michael Hosea, a godly farmer, felt God directed him to marry Angel, much to the disapproval of everyone around him, including Angel.
This story is definitely a love story, the hard working love of a man for a woman, and the love of Michael's God that eventually wins over the heart of Angel through the kindness and love of those around her. As Angel eases into a new life of being a farmer's wife, she questions her ability to love and be loved. Though many times her doubts take her over, Michael maintains his trust in his God — that He will bring them together as a man and wife who love and trust one another. This story compels the reader to evaluate their own attitudes and actions toward those caught in a life of pain and sin that bears the responsibility. It is certainly a good example to a believer of how God can change a heart and cause a life to become brand new through the love and acceptance by His faithful few. This book reminds me of the saying, "But for the grace of God, there go I."
This story mirrors the Hosea/Gomer story in the Bible where God directs a man to marry a prostitute in order for Him to show His redeeming love for His beloved people. Rivers does a great job of drawing the reader into the story and showing how insecurities and doubts that can prevent a person from giving and receiving love. I read this story years ago and it remains one of my favorites today. I highly recommend this book, especially to romantics who love a good ending.
