Francine Rivers never disappoints!

Love how she draws you in and makes all the characters feel so alive. The author knows how to make a book come alive.

Marvelous

Relevant Vivid characters, real life struggles, need for forgiveness, and the message of the gospel to restore and heal. another wonderful novel by Francine a Rivers. I dare say this is a concern for us today and a personal conviction that every day to live as Christ is gain.

Bravo!

Even though this is fiction, has so much truth!

Loved this book! a wonderful story about God's grace and the importance of keeping our eye's focused on Jesus

A blessing

Such a wonderful story! I had already read this book years ago, but decided to hear it one more time. It has blessed me yet again. Redemption can be found but only through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Nothing else we can do will change anything. Salvation is through our faith and not our works.

Could easily be TRUE

This story could easily be a true story. It is truly so easy to be led astray and just as easy to find forgiveness and redemption!

The chapters are mixed up, can be confusing

The story was remarkable as usual from Francine Rivers! Too bad about the mix up.

Beautiful story

Beautiful story with the gospel message of salvation for all who seek to hear and follow Jesus Christ!

Narrator ruined it

I really wanted to finish this. Really. The story was decent, but the narrator ruined it. All of the characters sounded like elderly people and all throughout you can hear the narrator swallowing noisily. This is definitely not pleasant if you are wearing earbuds.

Great story, not narrator

The story was great. The narrator, not so much. I don’t know if it was a mic issue or what. You could hear smacking, breathing, I think I even heard her stomach growl at one point.

How does she know so much?

I’ve seen this! It’s amazing how deep Francine Rivers goes. She could have majored in psychology! She captures emotion, tension, even sexual tension, brilliantly. So brilliantly that you feel the shock of the cold water as everything blows up. I appreciate all of the hard work she must put in researching. She had to have interviewed many people to get to this level of understanding. Again, I say thank you Francine Rivers for putting yourself out there with your writing. It must have been published with great risk of rejection in our mega-church society. This book is great for anyone, YA to 100. It is a must read.
