Rating:  Summary: A Wonderful Book Review: This book was amazing. I could not put it down. It is a wonderful re-telling of the depths of God love for us through a story about a prostitute and her husband. I will read it over and over again.
Rating:  Summary: AWESOME BOOK Review: This book is absolutely amazing. This is truly my favorite all time book. Being only 16 years old and having this book handed to my from an fairly older relative, i thought for sure just by looking at the cover that it wasnt going to interest me. But it was amazing! I laughed, cried and smiled through this whole book!! I definitely recommend it for young teenage girls.
Rating:  Summary: A POWERFUL REVELATION OF GOD'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! Review: How do I even begin to describe what this book has meant to me? I grabed this book off a shelf after much contemplating about what I wanted to read for Thanksgiving break simply because it looked like it might be a good read. However, there was a much larger purpose to this book than just a good story...there is a message that I believe is directly from God to all those who are either searching, or for those that have been walking with the Lord for many years. I cried during many chapters and at the end of the book all I could do was cry some more and then pray. How many times have I neglected the gift of unconditional and eternal LOVE that God has so freely given to me? How many times have I blatenly disobedied and then was too ashamed to ask for forgiveness? How many times have I let my own stubborness and pride get in the way or kept me from a gift a love? If you find yourself asking any of these questions, then PLEASE read this book. There is not another book I could recommend more...this book is a zoom lense into the heart of God himself. I am only 21 years old, and I am not married yet, but in reading this book I have realized that I need to understand this love that is a free gift from God before I can accept it from anyone else. A friend in Christ, Nicole
Rating:  Summary: The BEST book EVER! Review: I just finished reading "Redeeming Love" for a second time. It was an AWESOME message. The book made me cry and just jump and shout for joy!! I've recomended it to every one I know. It is the best love story, MUCH better than Romeo and Juliet. It was so much better because the love was true and pure. I now plan on reading other books by Francine Rivers. Thank you very much Mrs. Rivers for writing this book. It is THE BEST one I have ever read :) God Bless!
Rating:  Summary: Challenges Our Piety, does it not? Review: ...P>Because I was once you.I married a man who is the equivalent of Angel's character. I always thought I had "Settled." I always thought I had so much to forgive him for. I always brought up his past. I always acted . . . like you. This book changed my life forever. Changed his life. Made me the wife I should've been all along. Paul's sins are covered by the blood of the Lamb. As are mine. We are equal through the cross. Sex, making love -- it is ours alone; it is our act of love. God gave that to us -- we are one. There is no shame. Please don't taint the beauty of truth by your condemnation & preference to sweep under the rug that which plagues countless human beings. This book is an amazing tool. One that you have sought to cripple. You should be ashamed. Not the author, & most certainly not those who admit to having their lives changed from it. With all my heart, Danna Henkelman
Rating:  Summary: What was that book about......I can't remember. Review: I finished the book last month so it deserves 4 stars. Obviously nothing in the book stayed with me.
Rating:  Summary: A STORY YOU WON'T SOON FORGET Review: This 400 page book I read in three days! I could not put it down! This book has been read by men, women, pastors etc. A must read book especially for anyone who came to God later in life or who is considering bringing the Lord into your life. After reading this, you realize it's never too late. For those who already have stong Christian roots,it will reassure you of the Lords power and how he work's. It's also a reminder to give, because you never know where the seed can be planted. It reinforced forgiveness, not only of others, but of ourselves too. Also, how the Lord is always with us, that maybe we didn't get the answers for the prayers as we wanted them, but how God's plan could work us in different ways. I would like to reccommend this book to be read maybe as a bible study companion and then discussed. It raises so many issues and gives you so much to think about.
Rating:  Summary: Unconditional Love Review: This is the most beautiful book Michael becomes what Angel needs, just as God becomes what we need. Michael overlooks Angel's faults and sees her needs, just as God looks beyond our faults and sees our needs.
Rating:  Summary: Redeeming Love Review: Excellent fictional novel that parallels the book of Hosea... I couldn't put it down!! It was so moving - spiritually speaking- the book had me in tears several times. I highly recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: My only Regret Review: I have read all of Francine Rivers books and my only regret is that I have to wait for her to write another. Redeeming Love is by far one of the most touching books I have ever read. After completing this book it took me several weeks before I could share it with any of my friends. I felt a strong personal and private connection between myself, the characters and the Lord. I cannot remember the last time I laughed and cried out loud when reading. Thank you Francine for touching my heart and opening my eyes to deeper depths of the Lords ever present mercy, grace and love!
