didn't want my road trip to end until the book did

so good and meaningful and full of intent of making it clear the love that can only come from above.

Great book!

I absolutely love this book. I have read this book over and over again. I HATE the movie. I understand the movie is never as good as the book, but this movie was just ridiculous. It was horrible. I had been wanting movie to come out ever since I first read this book 6 years ago. it finally came out this year and I was completely disappointed. I wish I could unwatch it. please if you haven't seen the movie, DO NOT WATCH IT!!

Book of Love

This is not only my first book by this author but also my first audio book. I don't think I could have chosen a better book to listen to. The story of love that this book exemplifies is greater than I thought it would be. The love of God and the love of a husband that is shown in this book is so touching and so moving. I definitely recommend this book to read or listen to.

Beautiful

An excellent story of struggles and love! I could relate with aspects of each character. The storyline flows well and the characters are well developed. Highly recommend!

Amazing

An amazing, life changing story that was painful. But redeeming God’s grace was evident and so inspirational.

Words are hard to put together to describe the feelings evoked. I cried many times, especially at the beginning because it was so painful, the treatment Angel endured and the broken person she was inside. So defensive and pulling into what she knew.

Michael also broke my heart because he was trying to do what God wanted him to do and she kept rejecting him.

Powerful, riveting, heartbreaking and redeeming. God's grace and mercy cannot be denied and we should always remember that..

Beautiful story

This was a beautiful story of the love of Christ shown through the love of a husband. This book is no your typical Christian novel. It’s not all rainbows and glitter. It doesn’t portray two mostly perfect people in a little valley of their faith. It shows the ugliness of humanity. And then it becomes uglier. And God’s love continues to shine through. It might not be a Christian novel to share with your children. But it’s a Christian novel that some children of God need to read.

Heartfelt

Redeeming Love had me completely obsessed, but in a good way. I have cried, laughed, gone to Hosea in the Bible, had conversations with my husband and thanked God for Redemption through Christ!

Pick this book

I absolutely loved this book! I couldn’t turn it off! I was walking through Target and paused in an aisle just to listen to it.
I’m going to listen to it again in a month right before the movie comes out.

lover of books

love defined! Grace understood. A historical fiction approach to a biblical story of a minor profit. excellent read/listen. The characters are so identifiable and a book that is great entertainment that stirs your soul and delivers life lessons & opportunity for growth.
