Can Godâ?s Love Save Anyone? Bestselling author Francine Rivers skillfully retells the biblical love story of Gomer and Hosea in a tale set against the exciting backdrop of the California Gold Ru
Amazon.com Review
In this splendid retelling of the biblical story of Hosea, bestselling author Francine Rivers pens a heartbreaking romance between a prostitute and the upright and kind farmer who marries her; the story also functions as a reminder of God's unconditional love for his people. Redeeming Love opens with the Gold Rush of 1850 and its rough-and-tumble atmosphere of greed and desire. Angel, who was sold into prostitution as a child, has learned to distrust all men, who see her only as a way to satisfy their lust. When the virtuous and spiritual-minded Michael Hosea is told by God to marry this "soiled dove," he obeys, despite his misgivings. As Angel learns to love him, she begins to hope again but is soon overwhelmed by fear and returns to her old life. Rivers shines in her ability to weave together spiritual themes and sexual tension in a well-told story, a talent that has propelled her into the spotlight as one of the most popular novelists in the genre of Christian fiction. This is one of her best. --Cindy Crosby

Could not put it down., 2010-09-04
By booklover
I felt God telling me to buy this book. SO I did. I put it on my bookshelf and was very hesitant to pick it up and read it. When i did, not only did I finish it 2 days later, but I was also transformed by it. I know for a fact God was at work through Francine Rivers and I look forward to seeing what God will do next with her novels. Such a beautiful portrayal of unfailing, unrelenting love!

By Roseann
This is an excellent book. It is spellbinding as it will make you cry and also cheer on the people in the book. I highly recommend it to everyone. I have already read mine and am going to pass it on to a friend today.

Captivating!, 2010-08-23
By M. Nguyen
I should have heeded the review where I shouldn't start this book so late in the night. I read this book from 10pm till 6am the next day! Thank goodness it was the weekend! It was THAT good! As a fallen woman, Angel had to overcome her inner war of goodness vs. evil. Goodness prevailed and I couldn't help but to draw parallels upon my own life - how judgmental and bigoted and unloving I can be but the Lord continually works on me and I have to continually pray and ask for guidance daily. Ms Rivers has done a fantastic job of showing how our Lord gives us unconditional love and how dense and stubborn we can be to acknowledge and receive it. I'm on to her next novel and can't wait to read them all!

Best love story i have ever read, 2010-08-17
By Della M Dobbins
I had given up on love stories. I was tired of reading & watching the same unrealistic love stories over and over. When 2 people recommended this book to me i knew i had to try one more. I was blown away. It is an amazing story that reflects Jesus and His awesome power and love. I had a hard time putting the book down and could not stop thinking about it when i did. Still can not stop thinking about it. So good.

One of the best novels I have ever read., 2010-08-12
By Kay Lock
My daughter told me about this book, she said she could not put it down. I ordered it from Amozon and got it real soon after ordering it. I could not put the book down. I would read until 1 am and get up and start reading again. The author is so specific about her writing, you feel as though you are there with the character. I look forward to reading another Francine Rivers book.
