Redeeming Love
Francine Rivers, 1991
A California farmer is told to marry a woman hardened by the Gold Rush—and to love her without asking for anything back.
Francine Rivers
Rivers was a successful secular romance novelist before her Christian conversion; Redeeming Love, her retelling of Hosea, was first published in 1991 and revised in 1997.
Feels like family, love and dread.
The difference between being someone’s partner and someone’s god.
No, you won’t. And I won’t be enough for you, Amanda. I don’t want to be the center of your life. I want to be part of it. I want to be your husband, not your god. People can’t always be there for you, no matter how much they want to be. And that includes me. Books by Francine Rivers
