Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

Read Redeeming Love for my book club. What an awesome story. It is based on the story of Hosea and Gomer. Hosea was a prophet in the OT and God told him to marry Gomer - who was a prostitute. She left his love and security several times to return to her old life.

In the book, Sarah traveled a hard road. There were many times, I had tears streaming down my face. This is the type of story I love.

I also realized how much I keep going back to the old life because it is safe...no, it's not. It's familiar. Safety is in Jesus. He knows my past, my present and my future - what could be more secure!

Read it. It is a beautiful story showing us the Savior's love for us.

  1. Hi Susan,

    It is a great book...we read it in my Christian book club a couple of years ago! I was amazed at the picture you have up of sisters...my youngest sister has that picture in her family room. I am one of three girls. We lost my middle sister suddenly two months ago at the age of 41. Her death has left a hole in my life. But, your picture reminded me how good it was when she was here! Thanks for sharing! God Bless...Lisa (from Scrapbookers /Crafters Friends).
