Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
It centers around a
young woman named Angel brought up in a horrible life of prostitution from
a very young age. A man named Micahel Hosea rescues her. Well, he thinks he is
rescuing her but she wants nothing to do with him. The story follows the trials
and tribulations that face a girl with a dark, shameful past and a God-fearing,
Christian man.
The story is a Christian
novel, which again is not something I have familiarity with reading, but the
Christian themes are played in so well that it does not feel like you are
sitting through a sermon. It simply made you realize the affect your faith can
have on your life. The idea that everything can be dealt with if you trust in
God is central throughout the story. Granted, there are some things in the
story that are hard to believe. Such as a man's willingness to forgive as
quickly as Michael does. But it is portrayed to be testimony of his faith in
God.
Francine Rivers did a
wonderful job of making you fall in love with her characters even though you
knew of all of their misgivings. Most people cannot relate to a prostitute but
people can relate to wishing you had not done something in
your past. Everyone has something they regret and there are times
that that regret makes you feel unworthy of something or someone. That is Angel
in a nutshell.
Overall rating: 4.5 stars
