It's Time To Read!

Hi, book clubbers!

We are so excited to kick off our first book club picks!

Regardless of your age, we believe it’s important for everyone to cherish love. After all, love has no end! There are a plethora of books about love. Stop by any book store, and you’ll find a gold mine of romance stories. These books can make a reader swoon and dream about love, but sometimes these stories fall short of encouraging readers to actually cultivate the biblical fruits of love in their own lives.

We asked ourselves, what are some stories that are not only about love, but inspire us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Well, look no further!

You’ll want to add these book recommendations to your reading list!

For Adult Readers: Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

“Love is the way back into Eden. It is the way back to life.” Francine Rivers, Redeeming Love

Set during the California Gold Rush of 1850, Redeeming Love is a powerful story about God's unconditional and relentless love for us all. Inspired by the biblical love story of Hosea and Gomer, Michael Hosea, a farmer who loves the Lord with all his heart, obey's God's instruction to marry a prostitute named Angel. Haunted by feelings of guilt associated with her past, Angel questions Michael's selfless intentions and struggles to realize the true meaning of love. Angel runs back into prostitution multiple times but eventually realizes that Jesus is the only one that can truly heal her past and redeem her view of love.

Scripture reminds us "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." (John 3:16-17)

Redeeming Love is a wonderful reminder that Jesus is always pursuing to have a relationship with us no matter what mistakes we have made. True healing is found in Him.

Now a Major Motion film distributed by Universal Pictures, audiences around the world can stream Redeeming Love and watch the story come to life!
