    About this audiobook

    A Story of Love That Won’t Let Go—No Matter What Soon to be a major motion picture, directed by D. J. Caruso and starring Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis, Nina Dobrev, with Logan Marshall Green and Eric Dane, special appearance by Famke Janssen.

    California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep.

    Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside.

    Then she meets Michael Hosea, a man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything.

    Michael obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation until, despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw.

    But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny: her final healing must
    come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does … the One who will never let her go.

    A powerful retelling of the story of Gomer and Hosea, Redeeming Love is a lifechanging story of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love.

      This was a re-read for me but I realized I had never actually finished the physical book so many years ago! What an amazing story of redemption and the shame and guilt and powerlessness and betrayal we feel, observe and perceive around us. This is a must read imho!

      This book wonderfully illusrates some deep issues and concerns that arise from everyday life and being in the world but not of the world. The story frames insightfully living both as a Christian and non Christian thoughts and motivation, against scripture from a Christ centred scriptural born again point of views. A very grass roots and inspiring mindful account for any reader to better understand a spiritual life journey in Christ. Well worth the insight when being confronted with judgemental and self righteousness people and oneself in life's tangles of fate that we must navigate or be shipwrecked and stalled in any relationship these days and in future.

      Having heard about this book for years, I eagerly followed my dear friend's recommendation to give it a listen, and I could not be more grateful! What a treasure! This gripping allegory will stay with me for the remainder of my life, I'm sure of it. Stunning parallels throughout, and inescapable, heart-wrenching awareness of the raw and uncontaintable love of Jesus. What a gorgeous portrait of His heart - and lifted from the pages of Hosea. I'm off to read Hosea again - - for the first time.
