Redeeming Love

Wow. This book was so refreshing and exciting. I have never read a Christian romance before and I was a little skeptical to begin with. But something about this book kept me up until 2:30am reading and left me feeling fulfilled from a great read as well as filled with love and awe for my Savior. Loved it.

Phenomenal book about forgiveness, redemption and love. It was a hard read, but well worth it.

Intense, inspiring, emotional, uplifting, and much more. This retelling of Hosea and Gomer will bring tears to your eyes and fill you with hope. I’d advise you look at the content warnings, but nothing is graphic.

Some interesting parts and good writing; some themes morally flawed. I don’t love a plot where it’s about a female being dependent on a man or needing a man to save her.
