Redeeming Love is a powerful love story told by Francine Rivers, author of best-selling Christian fiction. The novel tells the saga of Michael Hosea and his improbable redemption of God’s beloved prostitute, Angelica. Angelica has been hurtled into a life she never envisioned–young, beautiful, and wealthy beyond measure but living as if possessed by some dark force that compels her to take whatever she wants from men who can give it to her. Enter Michael Hosea, an unconventional man whose own past losses have made him search for meaning in lifes’ most difficult moments dogmatically committed to following Gods will for his. When their paths cross, passionate attraction ignites instantly between them even as they are unaware of the profound healing about to begin through their vastly different lives intersecting with one another.
