Summary: Awesome,Awesome,Awesome
Review: I saw this book advertised in a Christian Book Store flyer that was sent to me in the mail. I was so glad to see that Francine had written another book. So I ordered it. I just could not put this book down. I didn't care if I was sleep deprived. I read it constantly till I finished it in three days. This book was so full of joy,laughter, and sadness. This book filled me with such emotion that I felt that my heart would break. I cried real tears reading this story. What an awesome book.

Summary: Very good story-line but a little offensive.
Review: Francine Rivers proves to be an excellent writer. Characterizaton is wonderful as well as story line. I found the sexual content a little offensive. The words are not bad, but the insinuations are. I have read secular fiction books in the past with less sexual content than this christian book. The story was wonderful except for the insinuations that christians should run from.

Summary: Gripping story that touches the heart
Review: This book is a blessing to anyone who reads it. The struggles of Angel and Michael are ones we all go through in our own way. But this story shows how real Love conquers all.

Summary: Truly....The BEST novel I have ever read in my life.
Review: I just want to echo all the other reviews about this incredible book. I was totally captivated by this story and couldn't put it down. Sleep didn't seem near as important as finding out what was going on with Michael and Angel. I can get choked up when reading, but never before have I sobbed. Congratulations, Francine for being the first author to bring me to some serious tears. Even though I was emotionally exhausted at times....I didn't want the book to end. This book truly touched DEEP parts of my heart. I haven't been able to shake this lifechanging book. In fact, like many others, I went out to a local Christian Book Store and bought copies and started giving them away. I was loaned the book to read and immediately after finishing the book I went and bought it (for myself and others). I strongly suggest this book to any/everyone. Don't let this feminine looking cover fool you guys...it'll touch you too. If you want to read another one of her books that is also wonderful, try "The Atonement Child." [By the way, did anyone else notice the subtle Corinthians scriptures in the purple bands on the cover?] If you haven't read it yet.....What are you waiting for?

Summary: Superb Read!
Review: This book is by far one of the best books I've ever read! It challenges you in personal areas of your life. It gives a true depiction of how love is suppose to be. I don't know that I could have this kind of love. The author makes you laugh, cry while bringing out so many other emotions. I'd highly reccommend this to all readers christians and non-christians. It's a book that everyone can relate to. I had initally bought this book for my daughter and ended up reading it first, I couldn't put it down. Never a dull moment!

Summary: Healed many parts-
Review: A friend of mine gave me this book as a birthday present and I was hesitant on reading it. He mentioned that is was based on a story from the Bible and I immediately shyed away from the situation. I normally read trashy romance novels and not the "good ones", but being opened minded I picked it up and started to read. As each chapter passed I could feel myself being healed. By the end of the book, I felt just like the main character shedding years of pain away. When the book was over, I felt sad about it. I wanted to read more and more. I have started reading it again. I honestly believe that this book will change your life.

Summary: AWESOME...AWESOME...AWESOME....Cant get it out of my head!!!
Review: All I have to say is this is by far the best book ever written!!! I mean that too. I am not much of a reader. In fact, I seldom if ever pick up a book and finish it. However it was different with this book. I work in a christian bookstore and while work was slow one night I picked up the book and started reading it. BAMMO..I was hooked!!! I bought the book immediately and within 3 days had all 500 pages read. This book filled me with every emotion. Excitement, sorrow, peace, frustration. More than once I was brought to tears. I was drawn to the depth of the characters, to Michael Hosea the man who despite all her flaws and spiritual struggles made up his mind to love Angel no matter what. Francine Rivers did an awesome job of bringing out the true meaning of unconditional love, and the love our heavenly father shows us. It has been close to a week since finishing the book and EVERY day I think about it. Something will trigger my mind, and I will think of Angel and or Michael. This book really impacted my life deeply. God gave Francine Rivers an incredible tallent, Praise HIM she is using it for HIS kingdom!

Summary: Angel can't put her past behind her and face true love

Summary: Most meaningful Christian fiction I've ever read
Review: A friend gave me this book to read and I was reluctant because of the cover, since I don't read romance novels and thought this must be one. It turned out to be the most meaningful book I've read in a while. I got lost in the book, falling in love with one main character and relating to and hurting for the other. I learned through this book of my own negative attitude toward men and relationships, and my need for a softened and more vulnerable heart. My heart, like that of Angel in the book, has been hardened by past and present pain. Michael Hosea, a man of God, was able to be faithful and love her unconditionally. The book is based on the book of Hosea which makes it even more powerful and believable. It's a must!!

Summary: A book that made me take a real hard look at love.
Review: This is the only book I have found that really show what it is like to love a woman, even a woman with a horrorable path. After reading the book I prayed to God that I will be grace with a husband that could love me the way that Michael love Angel/Sarah. This book also showed me how much God love me, even when I mess up and turn away from Him, He still welcome me back with open arm. Thank you Mrs. Rivers for taking the time to write a book that help me with my walk with God.
