Overview
A story of love that won't let go - no matter what California's gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father's heart in everything. Michael obeys God's call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel's every bitter expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband's pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny: Her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does...the One who will never let her go. A powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea, Redeeming Love is a life-changing story of God's unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love. Includes a six-part reading group guide

Utterly heart wrenching. Gripping. Riveting. Extraordinary.
Guest G. - 5 years 2 months agoI could go on and on and still not justify the magnitude of this story's brilliance— what it means, what it stands for, and how deeply it has affected me. Reading Redeeming Love was an intensely humbling and inspirational experience. It isn't about drama or angst or sexy loves scenes...it is a powerful, eye-opening story focused on faith and redemption; on rising up from the dust of despair and finding yourself worthy. It's about the unparalleled ways love and faith can conquer all, and I could not have been more pleased with this loving and fulfilling journey. The writing simply wow'd me. It was eloquent and its grace brought this story to life. I felt every pain and heartache displayed within these broken characters, as well as every rejoice. This was my first Christian Fiction novel and I was initially unsure what to expect. Although faith in God plays a big role in this story, having faith in oneself is an equally apparent theme—one to which anyone can relate. The element of religion was heavily pronounced, but I didn't find it to be preachy — in fact, I found it comforting and enlightening. It wasn't over-the-top; it was delicate and its message seemed to transcend the structures of organized religion. Freedom does not come from without, but is instead brought forth from within.

GREAT BOOK!!
Raylin M. - 5 years 6 months agoSo this book is currently my favorite read (besides the Bible haha). Francine is a wonderful author who I feel was completely led by God while writing this novel. It definitely has impacted me in various areas of my life, and I have already recommended to several of my friends, who are also now very much loving it. I couldn't speak more highly of a book...it is a necessary purchase!

It is about the redeeming love of Christ and how he forgives us if we put our trust in Him.
Sharon W. - 5 years 8 months agoThis is one of my favorite books. It is based on Hosea and Gomer in the Bible with a more modern setting. It will touch your heart. You will feel sad, angry and then triumphant. It is about forgiving others, following God and forgiving yourself. A must read.
