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…
If I could, I would buy a copy for everyone I know. I consider this book to be the best book I have ever read. I’ve read it three times.
This by far is the most wonderful, inspiring, heart-wrenching book I have ever read. A retelling of the story of Hosea and an inspiring story of God’s true, redeeming love.
The best book you’ll ever read!!
I can’t put into words the all the ways this book touches my heart and soul.
This is the best book I have read this year! I love that it gives a modern perspective of the book of Hosea!
A story of love and redemption, just wished it had a different cover, I almost missed out on a beautiful story because of the cover.
Love to read fiction that is based on a Biblical story. Interesting to see how the author will flesh out the story and leave the basic truths intact.
A favorite!
A great read, I’ll remember it for a long time!
Raw. Realistic. Relevant. This book is one I have read more than once. The author makes the characters come alive and the story is with you long after the book is done. I highly recommend it and so appreciate the message of faith woven in.
Love all of Francine books.
Beautifully written. Wonderful tragedy to redemption story that many will relate to.
This book was amazing! It was difficult to put down. Francine Rivers brought the story of Hosea to life in a way that I had never imagined. It has been many years since I first read the book but it’s one I’ll never forget.
One of her best!
Probably one of the best books I’ve ever read… how HE loves us…. and never stops!
My mother loved this book so much as she does all the works of Francine Rivers. She introduced me to her work with this book and I read it in two days, – I could not wait to turn the pages and keep reading. I like my mother love reading her books.
Favorite book of all time !
This book is my all time favorite.
One of the best books I’ve ever read!!!
This book I highly recommend for 15 years and older! This book is related to the book of Gomer from the Bible who was not faithful to her husband. This book is very good! I cried, rejoiced, and felt not alone. I recommend you read this! I surely hope you love this book! Enjoy!
