Redeeming Love
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • The classic story that has captured the hearts of millions worldwide: a tragically wounded soul, the man called to marry her, and the only love that heals all.
“A literary masterpiece, reminding us that God’s love is unconditional.”—Debbie Macomber
California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep.
Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside.
Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything. Michael obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw.
But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny: her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does . . . the One who will never let her go.
A powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea, Redeeming Love is a life-changing story of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love.
Includes a six-part reading group guide!

Readers say *Redeeming Love* is a powerful, emotional retelling of the Biblical story of Hosea, set against a vivid portrayal of life in 1840s-50s Cal...
Interesting perspective on life in California in the 1840-50s. Angel is a prostitute is empty and feels unworthy of love. Michael, a devout Christian, feels this woman is the man that God has wanted him to marry.
Awesome retelling of the book of Hosea set a gold mining town in California. God’s pursuit, patience and mercy are perfectly represented through Michael Hosea… and we all can see a little of ourselves in Angel.
This book taught me a lot about myself. What I'm looking for, and what I need to do with my life. I enjoyed the story, but it lagged at times or the Main Character, "Angel" kept repeating the same things....but I think that's the point lol. I definitely recommend it.
I usually hate Christian novels. Everything is so quaint and there are good people and bad people... Not at all the way I experience faith. I loved that this book had flawed characters that struggled with faith and had real difficulties.
