Redeeming Love

Product Information

There is a part in the story, right after Angel betrays and abandons Michael (and not for the first or last time) that he takes her to an unknown destination. It’s the Old Testament mysterious mean God in this story at times who takes everything away and you get to live in emotional hell. Redeeming Love continues to be one of the Christian Booksellers Association's top-selling titles, and it has held a spot on the Christian bestsellers list for nearly a decade. Over the years she has become bitter and cold; it's her only defense against her growing despair at sleeping with men she doesn't like in a prison gilded by the gold dust of the Californian mining town she's settled in.

I think this may be only the second Christian themed novel I've ever read, which means its the first one I ever finished.But, the book loses touch with reality because it's not about recognizing the past as something that has shaped a person into the person you love today. The part of the book that made me hate it is the part where Paul, Michael's brother-in-law made Angel have sex with him as payment for letting her travel with him.

Exactly, I ask God what is His will for my life now which talents should I use and I also understood that I must do the first step to make my dreams true 🙂 may our Lord show you how you may serve to Him! No matter how frustrated I felt with her as a character, I always felt that her actions were in line with her character.First off, one thing I must note about this book, and it’s probably the one small element that held me off from reading it sooner than I did, or reading it at all for that matter. it is a powerful, eye-opening story focused on faith and redemption; on rising up from the dust of despair and finding yourself worthy. Altman and her 16 year-old daughter Miriam that she met Michael in a brothel, and is amazed to find that they have only compassion for her instead of contempt. When she discovers that Paul is married to Miriam, and that Michael is still waiting for her after three years of absence, her whole world falls apart and she no longer feels justified in staying in San Francisco. And in the romcom world, it is acceptable to pursue someone with a naked aggression that would never be acceptable in real life.

Okay, before getting too far into reading this, understand that I only read this book because it was required of me for a book club.Through the lens of Angel, we discover that there are two kinds of men in the world: sex-crazed maniac murderers, and the nicest guys ever who still only vaguely manage to suppress their sexual urges through a close relationship with god. This blog shares my own personal conversations and journey with the Lord, my personal treasures that I have hidden in my heart. I also didn't like how Michael tried to control her every thought and action in an attempt to hold onto her and not let her go. It appears best to see Gomer as chaste at the time of marriage to Hosea, only later having become an immoral woman. Although the start of the book feels a little slow and has disturbing content, as Angel is abused and sold in prostitution, keep at it.
