| | Customer Reviews: too good to be true!!! (27 December 2008)This story was an inspiring tale about a young woman of 18 years old who went through so many hardships in life it was amazing she survived through the ordeal. The young woman's life is later saved by Micheal Hosea who's faith in God and in himself is constantly being put to the test as Angel is constantly running away until she can no longer avoid the brace of God's arms. I advice anyone reading this review that it is a very hard book to put down and it leaves you staring at the book when your finished so please if you want to spend your money on something good, the BUY IT!!! Amazing book! (29 August 2008)This is an amazing book. A beautifully written love story that also builds you and challenges you spiritually as you read it! Perfect. I could not put it down and sobbed for the last few chapters. Cant wait to read more from this author. Tender and Moving. One of the best. (25 June 2008)I found this book on Amazon while browsing the Listmania. After reading such complimentary reviews, I decided to take a chance on it. I was not disappointed. The story is set in the 1850s during the Californian Gold Rush. Michael Hosea is a farmer who falls in love with a prostitute called Angel. Michael lives a simple life and is a God-fearing man. When he meets Angel, her life has just fallen to new depths. The book is a retelling of the prophet Hosea from the Bible. However, even if you are not religious don't let this put you off. If you like romance, you will love it. It is exquisitely written and the story beautiful. It is not only a story of redeeming love, but unconditional love too. I don't normally read books a second time. They have to be exceptional for me to consider it. But this one is a keeper, and once finished, will leave you with a warm glow inside you. Do not hesitate. It is a simple tale, but one of the best. MOVING STORY (29 November 2007)This is the first book of Francine Rivers that I've read. A friend lent me her copy and when I finished it, I went out and bought my own copy. I've read this book twice and I know I'll read it again. It brought tears to my eyes because I could identify with Angel's low self esteem. It's a beautifully written book that Christian or non-Christians could benefit from. I loaned it to a non-Christian work colleague and she loved it. I've just finished reading Voice in the Wind, another excellent book by Francine Rivers. I can't wait to read her other work. Great example of love (01 November 2007)Micheal is a character who shows us an example of the unending patience of God's love for us. Angel is a character who shows us how much sin and shame can seperate us from the very thing we want...unconditional love. The story of how these two get together is a reflection of the way we come to know God. Francine Rivers ties it all together with a craft well honed. I can hardly wait for her to write more romance novels with Christian values reflected through out. | |
