Book Review: Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers






Redeeming Love is a historical Christian love story set in the gold rush days of California. It  is a story that demonstrates God's redemptive love for all who will accept it.

 Angel is a brothel woman who has suffered heartache and abuse from the time she was a small child. She has been rejected by the people who were supposed to love and protect her. She has nothing. The only thing she has of her own is her name, which she keeps tucked away and protected from everyone. After all the abuse she has suffered, she does not believe she deserves to be happy.

Michael Hosea is a man who loves God and seeks to live his life according to His Word. When He meets Angel, sparks fly, not all of them good. The two struggle to find their way together. She is afraid to love and to receive love. Michael allows God to use him to show Angel His love.

I loved this story. It was gritty. It was emotional. and it was real. I believe it would make a great movie.

Redeeming Love is not a new book, but it is still available in book stores. If you have never read it, I suggest you do. You won't be disappointed.
