Book Review; Redeeming Love


Redeeming Love
I never even considered reading a Christian fiction book prior to this book by Francine Rivers titled Redeeming Love. I din't care to read christian fiction because i felt it was a waste of time, i wanted to learn not waste my time fantasizing. One day i had this great desire to start a online book club,and went online to find a good read. I went on Amazon and found awesome reviews on his book.

Here's he outline

In this splendid retelling of the biblical story of Hosea, bestselling author Francine Rivers pens a heartbreaking romance between a prostitute and the upright and kind farmer who marries her; the story also functions as a reminder of God's unconditional love for his people. Redeeming Love opens with the Gold Rush of 1850 and its rough-and-tumble atmosphere of greed and desire. Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a child, has learned to distrust all men, who see her only as a way to satisfy their lust. When the virtuous and spiritual-minded Michael Hosea is told by God to marry this "soiled dove," he obeys, despite his misgivings. As Angel learns to love him, she begins to hope again but is soon overwhelmed by fear and returns to her old life. Rivers shines in her ability to weave together spiritual themes and sexual tension in a well-told story, a talent that has propelled her into the spotlight as one of the most popular novelists in the genre of Christian fiction. This is one of her best. --Cindy Crosby

My thought, get out and buy this book you will NOT regret it. I cried, laugh, got angry, sad .. SO AWESOME..

Hosea is at one time one of the saddest and most uplifting books of the Bible. It tells how our rebellion makes God feel and also how much He loves us. I have just released a new novel, Angela 1: Starting Over. It is about a high school girl who is all the opposite of Gomer, but who sets all kinds of trouble into motion precisely because she wants people to live with integrity.
