Reader reviews for Redeeming Love

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.04 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.04 / 5 (80 total reviews)

Reader response was sharply divided. Admirers praised its Hosea-inspired narrative as a powerful portrait of grace, citing a realistic treatment of trauma, a gradual healing arc, and accessible prose; some found it spiritually encouraging and quick to finish. Critics objected to the theology and gender dynamics, argued the allegory breaks down, and found the content sensational for an Inspirational label, with melodramatic tropes and an idealized hero; several DNF’d and flagged strong triggers (CSA, prostitution). The historical setting and writing were seen as competent rather than exceptional, and readers noted differences between the 1991 original and the toned-down 1997 edition.

Readers say this book is:
polarizing emotionally intense faith-centered redemptive trauma-heavy controversial triggering quick read melodramatic comforting

From the publisher

Publisher's Weekly bestseller. Soon to be a major motion picture! New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers brilliantly retells the biblical love story of Gomer and Hosea during the California Gold Rush.

Angel, living in California's Gold country, is sold into prostitution as a child and quickly learns that men want only one thing from her and are never to be trusted. It is her burning hatred towards these men that keep her alive and she has no intention of changing her ways until Michael Hosea, a godly man, declares God has called upon him to marry her and love her unconditionally.

Angel leaves her difficult life behind and slowly, day by day, her heart starts to warm towards Michael. But with these new feelings of affection come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. Can Angel overcome these feelings of shame and accept Michael's love and the love of God who loves her unconditionally?

This classic story of God's unconditional love has captured the hearts of millions worldwide.
