Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
Purchased this book many years ago in a Christian book store near Hilton Head while vacationing there. The sales agent said: If you love Christian fiction books, I promise you this one is one you will always remember...... I purchased it and could not put it down or get away from its message! Does God really Love someone like “Michael “ loved “Angel” even when she is unfaithful time and again..? I could go on but the book of Hosea in the Bible will never be the same to me again after reading “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers... Highly recommend this book-I purchase it for gifts now....

Redeeming Love
This is an excellent story set in a different era, the 1800's. It is based on the Biblical story of Hosea's love for Gomer, a prostitute. However, it is still appropriate for even more modern times because true and undying love as Michael had for "Angel" is never limited to a certain time or era, it's for all times. However, the love Hosea had for Gomer and the love Michael had for Angel is a much deeper, disciplined and honoring love that can only come from an acceptance and commitment to Christ. Angel had never experienced what true love really was. She had only experienced "lustful" passion, which trys to imitate love. That's why Michael was so patient with her so she would come to know the true and only love everyone needs to know, the love of Jesus Christ. For anyone trying to decide whether to read this book or not, read it! It's an excellent story, but I do think it's more of a woman's book. I will be reading more of Francine Rivers novels because they have good content, they are well written and have a very good message.Read full review

Redeeming Love
I love the way this book is written. The author absolutely takes command of the page and won't let you stop reading. When you read this book you are heading uphill on a scenic route, on a road with soft shoulders and no place to stop until you reach the top. Then, when you do, you find the sight before you to be breathtaking and you forget what it was you meant to do, so you pick the book up and begin to read again. This is a love story which depicts one man's perfect love for a woman who is not deserving of such passionate compassion, as well as, a reflection of God's neverending love for His bride (the church). If you enjoy the Bible's tales of how God relentlessly pursues those who belong to Him, you will be completely absorbed by "Redeeming Love."

Redeeming Love
Redeeming Love is one of the most life changing books I have ever read. This story follows, in many ways, the story of the prophet Hosea in the Old Testament, where God tells the Prophet to go marry the prostitute Gomer. The setting is 1800's California gold rush days, where Michael Hosea is told by God that the prostitute Angel is the bride he wants Michael to rescue. Angel is hesitant but after nearly being beaten to death, she agrees to marry Michael who takes her off to his cabin miles away from there. They run into many obstacles as Angel cannot believe anyone could love her the way Michael says he loves her. His actions of love and willingness to take her back after being caught in the act of adultery and his continued care of her, finally break her stubbornness to never love again. They enjoy many peaceful months together until a neighbor reminds her that Michael deserves better than her. Michael wants children and Angels past ruined any chances she once had of giving them to him. With that thought driving her love, she leaves Michael to marry his chaste neighbor girl. What she does not know is Michael loves her and will hold to his vows 'till he dies. The ending is an exciting adventure that will move you to the realization, that like the Children of Israel in Hosea's time, God loves you and does not give up on you, no matter what. I give this book 5 stars for the amazing journey you enjoy while reading this hard-to-put-down book. Read it! You'll never be the same.Read full review

I cried so hard
This was the first book by Francine Rivers I had ever read. This is a fictional elaboration of the story of Gomer and Hosea in the Bible. There is very little written (in fact less than one sentence)in the Bible about this relationship, but Francine Rivers has created a wonderfully moving and heart-wrenching story of persistence and love. Ms. Rivers' characters are balanced evenly. There is no hero or heroine that you must prefer over another character. Each one's motives and inner thoughts are heard and appreciated. I found myself pleading with the characters to just talk to each other and be understood. I loved this book!!! It has prompted to buy 5 more of her books. I am hooked completely on this author because of this first book. Thanks for the witness and the enjoyment.
