    <![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[wow, a very powerful story! I listened to this one on my iPod. I tried so hard not to cry (especially toward the end) but I finally had to pull over and wipe my eyes when it ended. So much grief, redemption and joy.
