Life changer!

This book helped me to understand the story of the prophet Hosea the way it's meant to be understood ! Angel is all of us, and Michael is our loving God always ready to forgive and rescue us from our mistakes. It helped me to realize how judgmental I am and that I need to see other people's mistakes the same way God see mine, through loving and merciful eyes. I read a lot, it's my vice, and this is the 6th time I read this book and I guarantee you it won't be the last.

Mixing sin with God's love will transform a life.

This book speaks a language every listeners will find a character they connect to.
The narrative speaker did a great job bringing every character to life.
I would recommend this audio book.

Loving away shame and guilt

I loved reading this book because God brought it to me at a perfect time in my life. I enjoy how the connection of the story in the Bible in this fictionally story was so closely related to the many struggles we have with our emotions and the baggage from our past. It was so wonderful to read how the author show through God’s word the healing that can come when we surrender. I would recommend this to any young women as a wonderful strength of knowing her relationship with herself and with God but also think it would be a wonderful to read as a new bride with your husband.

My first audio book.

I absolutely loved this book.
I couldn't wait to hear what happened next.
I pray for a man to come after me like Hosea.

My absolute all time favorite

I have read and listened to this book more times than I can count. I have given copies away and recommended it many times. It is powerful and provocative and she does not shy away from the hard issues that Christian authors are sometimes afraid to address. This book hits right to the heart of the struggles of truly surrendering to Christ. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry.
