Redeeming Love

Product Information

Her Mark of the Lion series looks especially interesting, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get a copy of that on the cheap. The real, biblical Hosea kept after his wife, chasing her down and dragging her out of sin even when she made the choice to go back into it. I feel like Francine Rivers put herself in Angel's shoes and then created the 'perfect' hero to sweep her off her feet. You get these one liners about horrific beatings, great sex on a very spiritual level but no detail. As for Angel, for all of the mistakes and sins she committed, I still held a soft spot for her and cared for her character deeply, and that never wavered.

I also thought that the way the religion was written in this book is probably suitable for the time period in which it was written (1850-ish), because most people in the 19th century were religious, and it formed the backbone of their social circles in many cases. Yes, religion is a definite focal point in this book but not to the point where it's utterly preachy, either. Brokeback Mountain (2005): A truly unique take on the genre, Ang Lee's acclaimed 2005 movie explores a complicated romance between two cowboys.This is a clean/inspirational romance and it gave me so many feels and had such an amazing hero and I adored it so much. 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 story is about a young girl sold into prostitution at the age of eight who later is rescued by a man named Michael. For those who will no doubt comment that the book of Hosea also contains graphic scenes of a similar nature. Scrambling for a better hiding place in the vines about the creek, she peered out and saw her father ride by on his great black horse.

And flipside, if these gold-hearted hookers are such an anomoly, how come I never read stories about hookers with hearts of wet garbage, or hearts of heart meat that perform their functions adequately if a bit coldly? By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. is considered one of the most culturally significant films of all time and is part of the United States National Film Registry.Actually, myself and all the rave reviews on Goodreads saying this was such a moving, inspirational book. Admittedly, Michael doesn't know all the details but he should have given Angel the benefit of the doubt AND laid into Paul until Paul admitted everything. She is prepared to go on stage to entertain the men, but once there, the voice of God tells her to sing and she starts singing " Rock of Ages" to the awed and confused crowd. It's based on the bible story of Hosea and Gomer, but you don't have to be up on your bible studies to enjoy this one. I can see how people who have a religious background and like the idea of Jesus leading them to their soul-mate would love this book.
