    <![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>But with her unexpected softening come 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.<br/><br/>A powerful retelling of the book of Hosea, <em>Redeeming Love</em> is a life-changing story of God's unconditional, redemptive, all consuming love.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not even going to attempt to review this one because I doubt that I could do it justice.  Besides, there's over a thousand reviews of this book on GR (hard to believe--I must have been one of the few people who haven't read this book)!  Anyway, it was definitely the best book I've read all year,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49232929">more...</a>]]></body>
