<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Rivers skillfully retells the biblical love story of Gomer and Hosea as a tale set against the romantic backdrop of the California Gold Rush. Readers have purchased more than 500,000 volumes of this timeless love story--now with a Bible study included. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b><b><i>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY </i>BESTSELLER - ECPA<i> </i>BESTSELLER - </b>A story of love that won't let go--no matter what!</b> <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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.<i> <p/></i><b>Includes a six-part reading group guide!</b><i><b><br></b></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b><b><i>CBA </i>bestseller</b><br><i>Washington Post</i> bestseller</b> <p/>The truth that ran through that story [<i>Redeeming Love</i>] absolutely took me to my knees.

Although raised in a religious home, Francine did not truly encounter Christ until later in life, when she was already a wife, mother of three, and an established romance novelist. Shortly after becoming a born-again Christian in 1986, Francine wrote <i>Redeeming Love</i> as her statement of faith. This retelling of the biblical story of Gomer and Hosea set during the time of the California Gold Rush is now considered by many to be a classic work of Christian fiction. <i>Redeeming Love</i> continues to be one of the Christian Booksellers Association's top-selling titles, and it has held a spot on the Christian bestsellers list for nearly a decade. <p/> Since <i>Redeeming Love</i>, Francine has published numerous novels with Christian themes--all bestsellers--and she has continued to win both industry acclaim and reader loyalty around the globe. Her Christian novels have also been awarded or nominated for numerous awards, including the Christy Award and the ECPA Gold Medallion. Francine's novels have been translated into over twenty different languages, and she enjoys bestseller status in many foreign countries including Germany, The Netherlands, and South Africa. <p/> Francine and her husband, Rick, live in Northern California and enjoy the time spent with their three grown children and every opportunity to spoil their four grandchildren. She uses her writing to draw closer to the Lord, and that through her work she might worship and praise Jesus for all He has done and is doing in her life.
