My Thursday morning ladies Bible study decided to switch things up a bit before we break for the summer. Instead of picking a traditional Bible study book to work through, we picked a work of Christian fiction to read and discuss. Our choice was Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, and today was our last discussion. Several of us (myself included) had read the book before, but this book is so good that it was just as wonderful to read the second time around. The book is a retelling of the story of Hosea from the Bible. Instead of Hosea and Gomer (what a name!), it is about a farmer named Michael Hosea and a prostitute called Angel. Through both the Biblical account and River's retelling, the power of God's redeeming love for us is revealed.
