Read from April 29 to May 01, 2011 — I own a copy

I thought this would not be my type of read. It is historical christian fiction (not a huge fan of either) about the life of a woman who was sold as a child into prostitution and then later about the man who feel in love with her.

But Redeeming Love was just a beautiful and breathtaking read. Oh boy did it my make my heart hurt. I cried pretty much the whole way through this story. Angel (aka Sarah) is a character you become very quickly emotionally invested in and Michael is pretty much the perfect man. I don't think you will find a character more forgiving and loving then him.

Overall, this book deals with some intense issues but is worth the emotional journey it takes you on.

Nic @ ALPHAreader - It is pretty amazing. I don't like historical and it is Christian fiction...sort of as well but never felt like either. It was one of those books I would have overlooked if it was for the recs from Nomes and friends.

@ Twinie - Hmmmm....I am not sure. I leaning more towards no unless you were in the mood for a book that is going to make you cry.
