Redeeming Love By Francine Rivers Review
By OnTopic | August 28, 2010
I have long been a fan of Francine Rivers and the work she has done in her previous novels When I first heard about her book called Redeeming Love, I was overflowing with anticipation to see what one of my favorite authors would present this time.
Well let me tell you that this book certainly did not disappoint.. Francine has really outdone herself this time by providing one of the most stirring novels I have ever read. Furthermore, I think she did an great job in retelling the story of the book of Hosea.
Before I speak anymore about this book, I should probably tell you more about the story.
Angel was a normal little girl until she was sold into prostitution as a young child.. During this time, she develops a hatred for men and the things they do to her. She absolutely despises being used and thrown away, so she completely numbs her heart towards any male she encounters.
Yet God has other plans for her and is preparing to send Michael Hosea into her life to change her heart.. Being a God fearing man, Michael has been called by God to enter in her life and to marry her, thus showing her how a man is supposed to love a woman.
However, because of the trauma she has previously experienced, Angel begins to reject Michael’s love because she feels that she is unworthy of such devotion.. At first she runs away from Michael, but eventually comes to realize that she can be healed by the God that she has rejected all of her life.
Will Angel accept God’s grace and Michael’s love, or will she return to her previous life?
I won’t spoil the ending on this one. I’ll leave it up to you to find the answers for yourself..
I can see a connection between this book and our society.. Many females may be able to connect with Angel’s reluctance to accept a man’s love due to a bad past experience.. But as Rivers proves with this book, God is the one thing that can overcome any past heartache and restore love in our hearts..
I would highly recommend that you take a chance on love and enjoy this Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers.
