Angel, sold into prostitution as a child, survives by keeping her hatred for men alive. Then she meets Michael Hosea who loves her unconditionally. 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…
My favorite novel!
A great story based on Hosea in the Bible. A great story showing God’s redemptive power. There are no sins God won’t forgive and no sin that will keep a person from God redeeming.
It was a long time ago that I read this story, but it was unforgettable. This historical romance is in a class of its own with colorful characters and a riveting storyline. There’s trauma and triumph. This book will leave you changed. It falls under Christian fiction, but because of the mature content, it’s more suited for older teenagers and up. Trigger warner: child rape/prostitution.
She is a talented writer. She can make anything interesting!
Absolutely incredible. Gave it to my mother to read and she loved it also
Francine Rivers always writes such great books that not only teach us some history while we are being entertained, but ones that draw you right in to the story to the point that you don’t want to put it down. I always learn something about history that I didn’t know before.
I love all her books.
Through the years from when i first read this nook, I have owned about 3 copies which have then ended up with friend`s who needed them to resonate in their hearts.
The book is brilliant in that it has so much of the Word in it. Forgiveness being the main theme for me. God is a loving God and human`s can be better for knowing Christ. On our terms we can make a mess of life, on God`s terms He uses our messes for the greater good.
This is one of the best books I have ever read. I think I will read it again.
One of Francine Rivers’ best books
Awesome! And made the Biblical version so much more inspiring! A must read by all who are Followers.
Redeeming Love is a timeless classic. Francine Rivers had such a way of making the words jump off the page.
This author is so good at placing you in the story. Could not put this one down.
Best Christian fiction I’ve ever read!
I’ve given this book to so many people and everyone loves it!!
This may be my favorite book of all time. It is such a beautiful depiction of God’s love for us. I love it so much.
I love this book. The first author I fell in love with. Highly recommended!!
Beautiful love s
Incredible book…! All of Francine Rivers books are a must read..she is a fantastic writer…!
AMAZING. What a powerful story. I listened to this story on Audible which I highly recommend! This book has now become one of my top 5 favorite books. The characters were well developed, the story had so many twists and unexpected pieces. Your heart bled for the main character as she battled her many demons, and left you crying in more than one part. The book was slow in some spots, but it did not detract from the story in any way. I love that Francine Rivers mirrored a biblical story with this fiction novel. It has changed my life to say the least and I’m still struggling to put to words how much I love the effect this book has had on me. I can’t wait to read the book again.
