“
Simply put,
Redeeming Love
is the most powerful work of fiction you will ever read. It is a masterpiece that moves beyond allegory to touch the reader at the deepest level where faith is born. You cannot read this book and not be changed.

REDEEMING LOVE
by bestselling author FRANCINE RIVERS

California’s gold country, 1850.
Sold into prostitution as a child, Angel survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her. Then she meets Michael Hosea, who obeys God’s call to marry Angel and love her unconditionally. Slowly, he defies Angel’s bitterness until, despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs, 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.
