And, just to say this, Laura Frantz's upcoming book is called Love's Fortune. The cover has yet to be revealed, but I'm sure that it will be as beautiful as the first two covers in this series. If you haven't read Love's Reckoning or Love's Awakening I recommend that you do. Laura has a way of writing that steals your breath away and makes you feel like you are walking through the pages of the book laughing, crying, hurting, and loving with the characters.
Just wanted to share the upcoming release of novels by some of my favorite authors! I was so excited to learn that Janette Oke and her daughter have a new novel coming out. I have read most all of Janette Oke's books. My favorite series was When Calls the Heart. Can't wait to read Where Courage Calls! This book is the first to be published by Rooglewood Press--which Anne Elisabeth Stengl has started. Jill Stengl is Anne Elisabeth Stengl's mother. This is Jill's first novel. She has written things before, but only novellas. She hasn't had anything new released in 7 years. I can't wait to read this book! I have to say, I'm a big Tamera Alexander fan. I've read all of her books. This one looks absolutely wonderful. However, after this one I'm hoping she will do something other than a Belmont Mansion novel. Her most recent books have been set in such similar settings that they are beginning to blur together. I was so excited to see this one! I adore Karen Witemeyer! So far, out of all of her books, To Win Her Heart has been my favorite. Isn't the cover adorable! This cover makes me breathless just looking at it! I have enjoyed this talented author's books immensely. I hope the story lives up to what the cover promises! I became a fan of Christian fantasy because of Anne Elisabeth Stengl. Each book is intricately interwoven with the other, though each can be understood even if read out of order. Except for Veiled Rose and Moonblood. Those are the only two that should be read together. If you don't like fantasy, reading one of Anne Elisabeth's books will definitely change your mind! I can't wait for Shadow Hand! This intriguing title snagged my attention immediately. I've never read anything this author has written before, but I would love to read this book. Who doesn't love Susan May Warren? Happily Ever After and My Foolish Heart are my absolute favorites out of all she has written. It Had to be You looks like a lovely read. And last, but certainly not least, Francine Rivers newest book, Bridge to Haven. Like all of her books, I'm sure that this one will be a heart and life changing book. I am dying to read all of these books!

Wow. I have never read a book like this before. I'm afraid that all I might say would fall horribly short of how greatly life changing this book is.
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers is based on the biblical story of Hosea and Gomer. One day, Michael Hosea was in town and saw a beautiful woman. He knew instantly that she would be his wife. He was shocked to discover that she was a prostitute. However, he does end up marrying her. She runs away several times but her husband keeps on coming back for her. I could certainly see the love of Jesus in him. This is a remarkable book that is filled with bitter and beautiful emotion. I think that this book will end up being a classic. I will say that Redeeming Love is rated PG-13. Only adults and mature teens should read it. The subject matter it deals with is extremely heavy. But Redeeming Love is a book that can change lives. I wasn't sure how the book would be at first because it shifts to different points of view in a single paragraph. However, this was necessary to get the full impact of the book. Francine Rivers has an enchanting, wondrous way of writing. I was drawn deep into the characters thoughts from the first page. The prologue is so very poignantly sad. Angel starts out as a sweet, beautiful child who is the victim of her circumstances. I loved Michael Hosea, who forgave and loved Angel no matter what she did to him. This book is very sad, but it has a wonderful ending for anybody who wants to read it. However, be warned that your life could be changed by this book. Francine Rivers is an extraordinary author who is fearless in dealing with any subject. If any book deserves a movie, then this one does. I could see every character so clearly in my mind that I was half surprised to come back to the book and find that it wasn't one. This retelling of the story of Hosea and Gomer is an awesome book that should not be ignored. If you think you can't forgive somebody because of something they did to you, then read Redeeming Love. It will give you a whole new perspective on life. |
