5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, Emotional, and Unexpected – A Beautiful Story of Redemption
Redeeming Love is one of those rare books that stays with you long after you’ve finished it. I went in expecting a moving love story, but what I got was so much deeper. The plot twist truly caught me off guard—and I loved it. It added a whole new layer of emotional depth and made the story even more powerful.The characters are beautifully written and incredibly human—flawed, resilient, and full of heart. Watching the journey of love, grace, and forgiveness unfold between them was both heartbreaking and healing. Francine Rivers has a gift for vivid storytelling that makes you feel everything right alongside the characters.This book isn’t just about romance—it’s about redemption, healing from the past, and learning to accept love even when you feel unworthy. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn’t put it down.If you’re looking for a story that’s emotional, meaningful, and ultimately uplifting, Redeeming Love is an absolute must-read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Love Story
Amazing story of REDEMPTION!! Such a lovely story of love, hope, grief, pain, anger, resentment, forgiveness, and kindness. A MUST READ!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down the best book I've ever read, and I'm a late 30s male
So a good friend recommended this book to me for my wife. There were themes that she would relate to, and it would likely help her process a lot of her life.Well, for her protection, I thought I'd read it myself first. Yes, a late 30s male reading a 'romance' novel. I don't even like novels outside of Westerns. In any case, before the prologue was even finished, I was wrecked-- in a good way. God used this book, and is still using this book, on SO many levels for me. I was sober at home for a good week. My wife kept wondering what was wrong. Well, nothing was wrong. God was just plowing my heart in so many ways. And while I was embarrassed a little being moved by fiction and the characters, I recognized there are, and have been, many, many Angels, and Luckys, and Michaels in the world. There are real people in these situations. Probably not all situations at once, but each situation, there is a man, woman, or child who knows exactly the feeling of the scene. And that is painful, but necessary to realize. God uses it to change us to action.A few examples, this book immediately awakened my position as a father, especially to my daughter. I desire to love her so much better and be much more careful of my words and actions.The book also destroyed so many walls in my heart, specifically concerning relationships, bitterness, anger, forgiveness, marriage, and worth before Jesus. I don't think there's an area of my life it has not touched. Thus, I'm reading it again, only slower this time, and journaling it. The first time I could rarely put it down and even read it at work!The biggest impact this book made was on my marriage. It really helped me realize I was not loving my wife well at all, when I self-righteously thought I had been. In reality, in tension, I would digress and escape, instead of embracing and affirming her. While my bride does not have a history is a similar career, there were countless times when the life of Angel mirrored my wife's life exactly. Comments Angel makes, situations she is caught in, abuses she receives, lies she was taught. Therefore, I was able to identify with my wife and it has lead to me beginning to love her much more like Christ loves His bride, and not above her as if holier. Likewise, Michael Hosea puts me to shame, though he is a flawed, but faithful husband who wrestles with God, and accepts God's plan and sovereignty over all. He is patient and godly. He walks with Jesus well, while confessing his struggles. He helps her see he is just as wicked and undeserving before God.I also fell in love with Angel, and had compassion throughout. It was not what I expected. There is reader frustration seeing her run, but I also understood every single time. She never ran because she loved other men. I saw her past, youth, wounds, hardness, pain, self-sufficiency. And I had compassion throughout. I think it's what the Lord wants us to feel. I've tended to have a harshness towards the 'adult' themes of life. And of course it's an area for caution. But this book has led me to call out for liberation of those held captive. I believe very few caught in lifestyles of any realm of the sex industry or trafficking likely do NOT wish to be there, but have found themselves there nonetheless. So I am crying out for God to liberate the trapped, helpless girls who face this brutal gauntlet. Man's selfishness runs deep and without regard for the devastation it causes on others.The other characters of the book are simply fascinating, and each has a personality. Again, this is brilliant writing. But it also adds significant sub-stories to the already great book. I also love how Francine uses the latter portions of the book to reveal unknowns in the beginning. Normal I'm sure in novels, but since I don't read them, I'm not used to it! Fascinating from start to finish, and absolutely saturated in scripture and the gospel of Jesus. If I could, I would give Francine a huge hug. She, by the Spirit, has written a masterpiece, albeit 20 years ago now. And Praise God, it has changed my life.I'd like to buy this book in bulk from the publisher. I'd like to give it away. I think it can impact almost anyone. At the same time, as in my wife, I need to talk with her before having her read it. It is a heavy and beautiful book, which is amazing. But it can also be too heavy, if a person is not at a good place to absorb the emotion. As one reviewer put it, this book was clearly an anointing on Francine Rivers. Only God above could create such a story through his own people. So be ready for God to dig deep into your life, male or female, and bring to the surface emotions and judgments that needs exposed, rooted, or healed. I'm praying God never allows me to stop feeling the truth He has shown me in this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars God redeems
God is so good. He redeems lives. As His word says, “ All things work together for good for those who love him and are called according to His purposes. He also restores the years the locust had eaten.This is such a great story. Thank you Francine for your heart to reach others.Grateful and ThankfulCheryl
5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting...every time I read it
I have read this several times, both in print and in the kindle version. It's a wonderful reminder of the depravity of man and the grace and love of God.
5.0 out of 5 stars In Awe!
My God, my God! This book, I have no words. I never leave a review before on anything I buy. But Ms. Rivers' thoughts and hands have been blessed by God himself. After watching the movie on Netflix twice back-to-back, I learned there was a book. I bought the book and i read it in 2 days. If it weren't for work, it would have been one. This is such a great book, story, and everything!!!
awesome inspirational story!
This is a really great read and it's really inspirational too. Super happy with this book!
The best book ever
My favourite book for sure. I have in it physically in Portuguese and on my kindle in English
Powerful retelling of the book Hosea
Reedeming Love is the heartbreaking story of a little girl, sold and forced into prostitution, a dark romance full of triggers and not an easy read.Angel is offering her body to survive in California's gold country 1850. Her heart is filled with hatred and contempt against men until Michael Hosea finds her, marries her and drags her out of the brothel.Michael Hosea is a man full of strength and wisdom, he brings Angel to his cabin at his farm and loves her unconditionally.Angel's broken heart is thrown into a storm of emotions that she can only handle by running away from Michael.This powerful retelling of the book Hosea has made me cry many times, so sad, but also a wonderful message of love and forgiveness, hope and comfort through faith in God.There is a HEA after all, that again, made me cry because it is very emotional and beautifully written.Clearly five stars for this powerful dark love story Reedeming Love, a beautiful book on my shelf.
The Power of Love
It is mind blowing what a human can endure and still come out on top - Love never fails
Moving, heartbreaking love story!!!
It took me 10 days to read this book. I had to read it in segments due to some difficult subject matter and the heartbreak endured by both mcs. There's child exploitation, paedophilia, rape and cheating. Massive triggers for most people, especially me. This was not a romance in the typical sense but a love story based on Christian faith, suffering, redemption and the unconditional love, forgiveness and devotion of a truly wonderful man, Michael Hosea....ugh. I felt all your love, excruciating pain, joy, fear and the sacrifice for a woman who didn't know her own worth. Sarah's story is one of the most tragic you'll ever read and my heart broke for her whilst simultaneously wanting to shake some sense into her. She was betrayed by every single person in her life and so broken. I cried quite a bit for her.This book has many spiritual quotes and moments which could be a turn off but I felt moved by them. Sometimes life and the books you read subliminally fuse together and send you messages, this book did that for me. 5 stars, mainly because Michael Hosea.
