Redeeming Love - Biblical Story of Forgiveness and Redemption Retold

 

'Redeeming Love' is set in California's gold rush country in 1850. Angel, as a young girl, was old into prostitution when little more than a child. Unforgiven of herself and unforgiving of others, she strives to keep alive her hatred of the men that used her and left her empty and dead inside. But when there seems no redemption for her, she meets a man like no other, Michael Hosea.

A man who knows God as his father and who seeks his Father's heart in everything. Called by God, Michael obeys and when he meets Angel he commits himself to love her unconditionally. But this is not the end of the story, Angel is a long way from healed of her past. Yet despite Angel's resistance to Hosea in particular, and abhorrence towards all men in general, her heart begins to thaw. Even so, Angel is always on the brink of plunging back to the darkness, because she remains filled with an overwhelming feeling of unworthiness and fear.

Gripping
- Godmother from Swansea
Well written, based on Hosea. Gripping and slightly traumatic (as Hosea is) but a powerful parallel of God's persistent, moulding, life-changing love for us.

Inspirational!
- Blessed Child - Great Book lover!
This book was awe inspiring. Francine reflects and shows the extent that God is willing to go to draw us back to Hm. With the romantic addition,it makes 'Reedeeming Love' all the more attractive. Sucks you in and almost hugs you. I cried at times, but I loved it! It is beautiful!

Love, forgiveness and acceptance.
- Georgina, love books, especially Christian ones. Live in New Zealand
This is an excellent book, well written with senstivity. It is wonderful to give to someone who has gone through abuse to help them see how much God loves them and how he sees them. It is based on Hosea in the Bible and is an excellent modern interpretaton of it. Recommend it to anyone.

Open up and breathe
- Peter Colback, Jersey, still relatively new to reading fiction; Christian fiction is wonderful if its good as builds
This is just amazing. Thank you Francine. Gripping and reflective and made me question my judgement of others most of the way through. We know it is God to judge but we often do it, we know God is love but we often do not. See how God loves and cares and allows and then loves because he loves not because of anything we have done or do. Best not to know too much more about the book as will spoil the immense depth of the effect it should have on everyone that reads it. Read Hosea afterwards! Then can recommend An Atonement Child also by Francine Rivers; if fact recommend all of her books

Publisher's Description

Angel, sold into prostitution as a child, survives by keeping her hatred for men alive. Then she meets Michael Hosea who loves her unconditionally. Day by day, he defies Angel's every bitter expectation until, despite her resistance, her heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. So Angel runs...

In Brief: Eden Video Transcript

"Redeeming Love is a gripping fictional parable of the book of Hosea written by Francine Rivers. After its release in 1991 the book has sold over 1 million copies.”

“Sold into prostitution as a child, Angel only means of survival is to harbour a perpetual hatred of men. So when Michael Hosea saves her from the monstrous trade, asks for her hand in marriage and loves her unconditionally Angel’s hatred is strongly challenged. But how could this man love her, a prostitute? Filled with disgrace and shame she runs away ... but God always finishes what he starts.”

“This magnificent work of historical and biblical fiction has spoken into many lives with its powerful message about God’s unfailing, unrelenting, all-consuming love for his children. Inspirational and life-changing, this book challenges preconceptions and is impossible to put down.”
