Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers is a Christian-themed historical romance novel based on the biblical Old Testament book of Hosea. This is the story of Michael Hosea, a man living in California in the 1850s. He prays for God to lead him to his future wife only to stumble upon Angel, a young woman who, through a tragic series of life events has become a prostitute. Rivers uses the story of Angel and Micheal to demonstrate God's unconditional love. As one reviewer noted, „ It has romance, suspense, drama, and God's truth all rolled up into one superb story” Redeeming Love is a powerful, uplifting story with the message that no one is beyond redemption. It is also so well written that, „Even if you aren't into christian fiction you might want to give this book a try because it is a great page turner with characters anyone can relate to.”
