What is Redeeming Love about?

Written by Francine Rivers. I first was told about this book two years ago by a MOPS pal. I read about 3/4 and put it away and just got it back out again this week.
Synopsis: a novel about a woman who struggles with spiritual warfare her entire life (like all of us) and a man who listens to God and allows God to guide him and he faithfully serves God all the while restoring Angel/Sarah. The novel is touching and heart wrenching too. There is rejection and betrayal, a person rescued, redeemed, reconciled and restored. A novel about how salvation is God's blessing - we don't have to earn it--it is what it is--always and forever!

Yvonne even made us book club party favors! I will post a picture of what she made for all of us. So sweet!!! A very pretty card all bright and cheery with scripture on it.
From Ephesians 3:17-21
"And that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever." AMEN

I am too tired right now to do this for you.....BUT please take some time and look up, read and reflect on His Word. All of these all incorporated in this book!
Psalm 139: 15-17
Proverbs 15:22
Titus 2:14
1 Peter 5:6-7
Romans 8:28

Our next book is titled: Discerning the Voice of God. I think it will go well with the book we just read and discussed.

I am off to talk with Danny for a few moments before I attempt sleep. Sweet dreams blog world.......
