Fantastic book

I cried many tears as I read through the book. I loved it so much I found it difficult to put down. I had to wipe tears away often to finish certain pages, especially towards the end. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

A Really Good Book

Redeeming Love was a some what of a surprise for me. I received the book as a gift and wasn't really too excited about it. I'm pretty selective about Christian authors as I feel so many times they are so careful to keep it pristine that they create a story that isn't really true to life. I had seen the film version of Ms. Rivers' "The Last Sin Eater" and enjoyed it. I read this book in a few days time and found it to be very tastefully written, dealing with issues of sexual abuse, prostitution, self loathing,lust etc. Ms. Rivers proves that an author can deal with these issues without going into graphic details or using excessive language. We tend to forget that the Bible is a book of stories such as this that deal with real life and not just a book of childrens stories.

Surprisingly Sweet!

This is the first book that I have read a book by Francine Rivers and I can say I was not disappointed. The author had a way of grabbing your heart and twisting it along with Sarah (Amanda) and Michael.

However, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I had a hard time swallowing Sarah's sleeping with Paul on the wagon ride. I also found it hard to swallow how easily Michael forgave her for it and how quickly he just accepted her back in the end with no questions asked. It was Paul who went to get her. If he hadn't, she might not have ever come back.

Aside from those things it was a good book that just touched your heart. I look forward to reading more of her books.

excellent book

I don't read much, and when I do I'm picky. I must say: This story was well paced, well written - you can tell the author is really experienced and doesn't bore the reader/ knows how to pull those heartstrings. I was so touched by this story, how its a metaphor for how we relate to God.

highly recommend.
