Summary: Absolutely Wonderful!
Review: I have read a lot of books and I have a lot of favorites (some, I thought to be "the best book I've ever read"), so when my friend gave me this book on tape to listen to, I didn't really want to. I had my favorite authors and had never heard of Francine Rivers. Why listen to it? WOW! Has Ms. Rivers changed my mind. I must say this is absolutely, unequivocally, the best book I have ever read (well listened to!)It's a thought-provoking feel-good story! I love it! You will not be disappointed. Half-way through listening to it I got on-line and bought it! I can't wait until it gets here to hold it in my hands and savor every word!!

Summary: The best book I have ever read!
Review: Ok, I know you read the reviews, and it's always " oh this is a great book," or " you just have to read it," " its the best book in the whole wide world" and you think, "yep, heard that line said before..." well, I don't want you to think that I'm just writing this review and coming up with those lines. BUT I'm serious, this is the best book I have ever read. I have a read a ton of books in my day, and Francine Rivers is by far the best author I have come across. I also recommend the Mark of the Lion series by her. Those were excellent also. Francine Rivers has wonderfuly portrayed the book of Hosea through this story. It shows God's unconditional love for us, no matter what we've done in the past. He loves for who we are. Its wonderful, isn't it? I highly recommend these books and I hope all of you who read them enjoy them as much as I did.

Summary: amazing and beautiful
Review: never before have i read retelling of any story where the author was able to capture the beauty of the original in quite the way that Rivers has with Redeeming Love. it is simply an amazing book and one that as a reader i could not pull myself away from. i actually spent one entire day reading it--i think i forgot to even eat that day because i was so entranced!

Summary: A powerful allegory
Review: Redeeming Love was recommended to me by a lover of Romance Novels..... a genre I NEVER read. However, I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. Ms Rivers makes the book of Hosea come alive in terms we cannot miss. God's love, as shown through the character of Michael, is so beyond our comprehension, that it's only through allegory that we can understand it. This book has touched my heart and my soul. Quite a few of my friends had recommended The Scarlet Thread, but I hadn't read it. Now I'll have to read that one too! Thank you Francine Rivers.

Summary: One of the best I've ever read!
Review: Redeeming Love inspires me to attempt to love my husband as Michael Hosea loved Sarah. A beautiful example of what God intended for the love between a husband and wife to be. This story is thought provoking, inspiring and kept me wanting to read on for hours. Rarely have a read a book and gone looking for another by the same author. I'm almost to the end of my second Francine Rivers novel and will by buying another before leaving this web site. I just can't seem to put the book down. Amazon has beat the lowest prices I've seen by almost 25%. I paid $7.00 more for one of Ms. River's books than Amazon's pricing. This is my first trip to Amazon.com and I'll be back regularly!

Summary: Emotional Torment
Review: The book Redeeming Love was extremely hard for me to read. Don't get me wrong I loved the book, but while I was reading it I was angry. After awhile I was hoping that Michael would get angry with her and send her away. How could someone hurt a person again and again that really loved and cared for them? This book help revealed to me my sin and my limited vision. We are all human and make mistakes. In God's eyes, no sin is greater than another. God is in pain for us every time we sin. It showed me the depth of God's forgiveness, mercy, and love. After I finished reading this book, I realized my sin and begged God's forgiveness. Needless to say, this book brought me to my knees!! Thank you Francine Rivers for helping me!!!

Summary: Wonderful Story!
Review: This book was amazing. A friend of mine read it and leant it to me. She read it in 3 days and I read it in 5 and neither of us are big readers. Francine Rivers paints such a beautiful picture with words. I felt as though the characters were real people, and I knew and understood their thoughts and actions. What a wonderful way to portray God's love for us through this updated version of Hosea and Gomer. You will not be disappointed by this amazing book!

Summary: Redeeming Love
Review: This book takes the story of Hosea and transforms it into something we can easily relate to. I read this book while studying the book of Hosea in the bible and got so much more out of it. I would strongly recommend this book and would also recommend reading Hosea either before or while reading it. It's one of the more memorable books I've read.

Summary: honest on my life, this is THE best book
Review: Seriously. I had never read one Francine Rivers book in my life before Redeeming Love. I had never even heard of the author! Now, I am here, on Amazon, searching for and buying up every single Francine Rivers book I can lay my hands on. Redeeming Love was simply incredible. I started it Saturday morning, finished it Saturday night. In the course of one week, following that Saturday, I have completely finished her Mark of the Lion trilogy, and now am more convinced of her extreme talent for literature. I HIGHLY recommmend this book. It makes you feel every emotion to your very core. Humor, Sorrow, Pain, Sympathy, and Sheer Joy just flow from the words on the page! Just Wow. I mean, WOW. :) Two words: "buy it"
