Thoughtful

Great book especially for someone like me that tends to judge first ask questions later. My life has changed and my thoughts as well. Judge not least you be judged.

Redeeming love

I love this book so much! It’s so powerful! I have read it at least 3 or 4 times! And every time I read it , it just shows me more and more how much God loves us and how he always forgives us and welcomes us back to his loving arms just as we are!! His love is never ending and everlasting and I was brought to tears many times while reading this book because I just imagined God during some of the scenes in the book how we treat him with disdain and hurt him and push him away but he still loves us and weeps for us! I am just so amazed and thankful he is God and I am not because he has so much patience, love , & grace for us his children & also those who don’t know him or push him away! I’m thankful for his forgiveness and grace countless times in my life and for his everlasting and redeeming love which shows in this story that no matter what you have done God loves you and his grace is sufficient for you and he can help you be a new man or woman and take what the enemy meant for harm and turn it for God’s glory! God bless Francine rivers!! I truly believe God used her and spoke thru her writing to touch readers to show Gods powerful love! God has truly blessed her with this amazing gift of writing! I love how detailed her books are and how when you read them it’s like your there and can connect with them! Plus I like that she wrote about the book of the Bible Hosea and gave more detail and showed us the story of gomer and Hosea in a way maybe we can’t see or read in the Bible! I know this story is about gomer and Hosea from the Bible, but the more I read it the more it becomes about God’s love for us and how Michael in this book shows angel God’s love. A love she has never experienced in her life! And the further you read the more powerful it becomes and symbolic of God’s love wow! God is so good!! Ok I know I have written this supper long review but I just felt God put on my heart to express how powerful this book is and was for me! I’m thankful to Francine Rivers for writing this book! God bless her and continue to use her for his glory and to speak thru her to show others his love and goodness and his message of hope! Im also thankful to God for giving her this message and giving her the talent and courage to write about topics that are hard to write about but in the end he spoke thru Francine and used her to share God’s message of love and hope and grace and show how even when we go thru these horrible traumatic experiences nothing is impossible with God & he can heal all our wounds and make us whole! Thank you father! 🙌🏻💯🥰😭🔥

Totally worth the read!!! Loved it!

Such a great love story that shows how God loves us no matter what we have done or has happened to us. He is always there and loves us unconditionally. Michael loved Angel like that and shows us how God loves us.

A story I didn't realize I needed to read

This book was phenomenal. It was beautiful and heartbreaking in the best ways. The characters and story were compelling and relatable. It has also caused me to pause, reflect, and examine myself. The parallels and metaphors of the care, love, sacrifice, and forgiveness that Hosea gives Angel is a wonderful fictional mirror of Jesus love for us. If I could give it more than 5 stars I definately would. 💖 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💖
