Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

**** 4 stars

This book has one of the highest ratings on Goodreads I've ever seen. It's consistently marked as a 4 or 5 star read and seems to be a beloved classic of a niche genre, the Christian romance.  I had never read anything by Rivers before.

It's really a lovely book about the power of love and forgiveness and redemption.  I'm finding myself at a loss for words to really describe the impact of this book.  It was a humbling experience to read it; I guess that's one way to describe it. It was a humble reminder that unconditional love does exist; it even exists in my own life. It was a reminder about the importance of having a generous spirit and how forgiveness benefits both the forgiven and the forgiver.  I can see why it is such a favorite of so many and I look forward to reading other books by Rivers.
