Redeeming Love

CeeWorm83 · (#1 (**permalink**))

A GREAT book by Francine Rivers. It's christian-oriented, and is a story of amazing, steady, unchanging, against-all-odds, kind of love, loosely based on the story of Hosea in the Bible. (God told Hosea to marry a prostitute).

Highly recommended by yours truly. For christians and non-christians alike. Its not one of those in-your-face goody goody, holier-than-thou books. Very realistic.

That was a wonderful book but she has written Leota's garden. If you thought, redeeming love was good, you haven't read anything yet, Leota's garden is so much better. She is a wonderful author and I will definately read more of her books.

I'm not giving you a summary, then I will take all the fun out of reading it. Go read it, I promise you, you won't regret it.

alright then Mishi...thanx for the tip though. Me thinks I'll place an order for it (Francine Rivers books are SCARCE over here) and read it during those cool summer evenings.

Hey, have you read any other books by Francine Rivers? I have only read Redeeming Love and Leota's Garden. After reading those two books, she earned a place in my favorite authors list. So would you recommend any other books of hers?

I haven't read that many Francine Rivers books. I was into Janette Oke but outgrew her books rather fast! Only discovered this GREAT writer last summer on a road trip. I tried reading "A Voice In The Wind" but didn't have the time then. Hope to read more of this great writer this year..that's goin to be tough..did i tell you there's like only one christian bookstore in the entire city? (OSLO). So i have to order them from http://www.francinerivers.com...

Pole sana Yeah, at least you can order them online. I'm in Stato so I don't have that problem.
