If you are a fan of Francine Rivers’ classic and beloved Christian novel Redeeming Love, what better way to revisit this memorable story than through a 40 Day Devotional!
This forty-day devotional based on the classic bestselling novel Redeeming Love leads you on a personal, six-week journey into God’s all-consuming embrace.
We know that God loves us unconditionally. So why is it so hard to break free from the past and live in that truth? Inspired by the biblical book of Hosea, Redeeming Love introduces a love so profound that it forever changes Angel, a woman who had viewed herself as broken beyond redemption. With A Path to Redeeming Love: A 40-Day Devotional, you can immerse yourself daily in the truth of God’s unshakable love for you.
Personal essays from Francine explore key themes from the novel—Rejected, Resigned, Rescued, Redeemed, Reconciled, Restored—inspired by Scripture. In addition, each daily devotion includes:
• an excerpt from Redeeming Love, Angel and Michael Hosea’s classic love story
• Bible verses for meditation
• prompts for Bible study, prayer, and journaling to enhance reflection and application
Whether you feel stuck or hurt, confused or lost—or simply want to experience more deeply God’s boundless grace—this devotional invites you into a transformative understanding of God’s redeeming love.
It’s been five years since I read this unforgettable novel, so it was great to revisit the characters and most importantly, the powerful message of this book–how God’s love can redeem us, no matter what we’ve done. Each day’s entry begins with an excerpt from the book, then the author examines that particular theme represented in that passage and connects it to the life of the reader. Most devotionals only have about a couple paragraphs of reading, but what I loved about this one is that it offers more like 4-5 pages of insight each day. You truly feel like you are studying that day’s theme and scriptures, not just getting a tiny taste of them–though each section doesn’t take long to read at all.
By reading the fictional excerpts, we are drawn into the heart and emotion of the story; and then through the daily readings we are able to connect that fiction to the facts of our personal lives. Story is a powerful thing, and this devotional is a perfect example of what we can learn through fiction.
If you have experienced deep hurts in your life, or ever struggle to believe that God truly loves you, get a copy of this devotional (and the novel, if you’ve never read it!). You will be blessed and uplifted by the truth of God’s Word and these reminders of God’s redeeming love–the kind of love that chases us down, fights to rescue us, and is willing to welcome us home no matter how far we have wandered!
5/5 Stars for this beautiful devotional! It is the perfect gift for yourself, or birthday or Christmas gift for a loved one!
