Have read this book three times and listen to the CD once an great book
Liked so much I own a hardcover copy and share it with friends and family!
Wonderful read. Love all her books!
I read this book years ago, and have bought about three more. I lend the book to fellow Christians, but to my surprise, grown men that do not go to Church borrowed it and LOVED the book!! Francine Rivers is an excellent author. I recommend this book to all!!
My #1 all time favorite book. It is such a metaphorical story, you find yourself unpacking the bags of your past right along with the characters. A beautiful story of Gods grace as He accepts us just as we are! So much Hope on this story! A must read for all!
I love Francine River’s books, but this one seemed lackluster to me. It did not bring the characters to life for me as her writing usually does.
Wonderful story based on the Biblical story of Hosea. Redemption, unconditional love and forgiveness.
It is based on the book of Hosea . Very good read
This us the best of Rivers. I’ve read them all. The Bible brought to life. It will make you think about your life. Excellent story adapted from the Old Testament,
One of my all time favorite books, very meaningful to me.
I love all books by this author.
As far as I’m concerned, this was River’s best book. A great read!
I love everything by Francine Rivers. Recently reread this. Truly inspiring.
I have reread it several times.
Anything Francine Rivers authors is fantastic. She paints a picture with words, so you feel as if you are there looking on.
I knew the story of Hosea, but this was an amazing rendering. At the time I read it my husband had recently left me, and we later Divorced. This book gave me a purpose in my prayers. We were apart for 10 years, as Satan brought his deceit into our lives. We have been remarried for 3 years now, and God has proven faithful.
Anything by Francine Rivers interests me. Hosea comes to life through this story.
Wonderful story. Loved this book!
So very good. Very inspirational, soul searching and positive.
One of my all time favorite books! Beautiful Biblical allegory of true love.
