Product Description:
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.”
Amazon.com Review:
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 1850and 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 tolove 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

Rating: - Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
This book is a keeper or one to pass on to a dear dear friend.It is very well written, and, to tell you the truth, I could not put it down. It's emotionally alive. It is a womans book, most men would not be interested. It has spiritual insights and Christian truths. I highly recommend it.A very good read.
Rating: - Paralleling the very truth of the Good News
I had sworn off novels for the last nearly two decades of my life.At a time when I had grown so tired and weary of my confusion, I picked up this book, given to me two years ago by a friend.It had stayed in the box, then in the shelf, and one weary day God invited me to pick it up, even when I didn't know it was Him.I was just so hungry, so tired.I didn't stop reading, only to get some sleep before the next day's work.I can't remember a time in my life when I cried for three days straight. ...

Rating:  - Good book
This book had me at the prologue.If your heart isn't squeezing by the end of that then you're probably missing a sensitivity chip.Being that I'm also a sucker for romance and there are parts in this books that have me smiling and awwing like an extreme girly girl.But around page 290, my patience with Sarah was being tested and then tested again.By the last act, I was over it.Truly.There was just one too many 'running away' episodes.Is it true to life, yes, but in a 465 page book it borders ...

I had never delved into the Book of Hosea on which this novel is based, but let me tell you, by the time I finished Redeeming Love, I had a hunger to search The Word. What I found in Hosea was not a love story, in fact, there wasn't much about Hosea and his wife at all. What I did find in those 14 chapters was a prophet delivering the word of the Lord and not just speaking God's commands, but following them in his everyday life.
Let me tell you, from chapter 1 to chapter 6, God is angry with ... Read More
