SynopsisBestselling 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 Rush., PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER - ECPA BESTSELLER - 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.

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
Purchased this book many years ago in a Christian book store near Hilton Head while vacationing there. The sales agent said: If you love Christian fiction books, I promise you this one is one you will always remember...... I purchased it and could not put it down or get away from its message! Does God really Love someone like “Michael “ loved “Angel” even when she is unfaithful time and again..? I could go on but the book of Hosea in the Bible will never be the same to me again after reading “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers... Highly recommend this book-I purchase it for gifts now....Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best Book Ever Written About Unconditional Love
I’m not typically a love story type of reader; however, this will forever be one of my favorite books. The author retells the Bible story of Gomer and Hosea as though it was 1850. Redeeming Love is a magnificent story of God’s unconditional redeeming love!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best book I have ever read!
This book parallels the story of the Biblical prophet Hosea and his prostitute wife Gomer but finds its setting in California during the period of the gold rush. The captivating and heart wrenching story has a depth and insight into the harshness of life while at the same time showing the transformation and joyful freedom found in the overwhelming power of God's love. Hard to put down and has the necessity of a box of tissue very close by.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best Book I have ever read!
I Loved,Loved this book. The prologue was hard to get through because of the detailed abuse that was done to Sarah as a child put its very important to read it to understand why she is the way she is.. Michael is a God fearing man who lives by God's word daily and obeys God when he hears him speak to him..Their are more people in this book that you fall in love with and some you don't..This book is a 464 page book I read it in 2 days I can not say enough good things about this book. It really makes you think on how God wants you to live.love and obey him...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Redeeming Love "Awesome"
This book touched my soul. The forgiveness shown was such a bright example of what Jesus wants us to do, and how it can change a life that one might think is unredeemable. I loved it! Many lives can be changed if we follow this example of forgiveness.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Redeeming Love-
I am not a reader by desire. I was not expecting to finish it when I saw how thick the book was. However once i started reading I could not put it down. It kept moving and was so believable and my heart just ached for the character. She is real, strong and yet weak, a survivor, I want to read Rivers other novels as well now!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
