I read Redeeming Love when Francine Rivers released it back in 1997, and I let several people borrow my copy and it finally disappeared. I wanted to read it again, and recently Multnomah was offering this book for an honest review. I was THRILLED to get another copy and review it.
This powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea is a story of God's redeeming love. He never gives up on us. He loves us no matter what we have done.
Such is the story of Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a young child, and lives a difficult live of use and abuse. Until she meets a man named Michael Hosea who hears God calling him to marry Angel...no matter what she has done.
This proves to be difficult for Angel to understand as she feels wary, then unworthy. But Hosea never gives up on her and never stops loving her...though he has to let go and allow her to choose to be loved.
If you have never read this, do it. You won't be sorry.
