Francine Rivers - Redeeming Love Review Summary
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers is a Christian-themed historical romance novel based on the biblical Old Testament book of Hosea. This is the story of Michael Hosea, a man living in California in the 1850s. He prays for God to lead him to his future wife only to stumble upon Angel, a young woman who, through a tragic series of life events has become a prostitute. Rivers uses the story of Angel and Micheal to demonstrate God's unconditional love. As one reviewer noted, " It has romance, suspense, drama, and God's truth all rolled up into one superb story" Redeeming Love is a powerful, uplifting story with the message that no one is beyond redemption. It is also so well written that, "Even if you aren't into christian fiction you might want to give this book a try because it is a great page turner with characters anyone can relate to."

Redeeming Love is the first Christian fiction book that I've been able to read cover to cover. I was so impressed by this book and the wonderful message Ms. Rivers gets across! I have even given this book as a gift because it's a real page turner. Because I loved this book so much I'm scared to try to pick another for fear of being disappointed. :)
Even if you aren't into christian fiction you might want to give this book a try because it is a great page turner with characters anyone can relate to.
Happy Reading!

Francine Rivers is the most talented Christian author. She creates a story and brings you into the story as if you are there to watch it on screen or in real life. The movie touches on all facets of human love and romance and the overwhelming redeeming love of our God. I love to read any of her books. She writes such great tales that have so much application to our own lives today. She shows us the power of God's love no matter how hard we try to run away from Him. Thank you to Francine Rivers for such a wonderful book.
