I got this book because I wanted to read something different, and it was one of the highest-rated books by the reviewers. Having read very few romance novels, it was an adjustment for me to accept the kind of novel this is. Predictable, simple, sappy, one-sided are adjectives to describe the plot. However, for me, it was also unique, somewhat spiritual, and refreshing at the same time. We all enjoy reading certain types of material. I can slightly recommend this book as a diversion. It is painfully predictable, but the idea of a 19th century farmer trying to reform a prostitute was intriguing enough. I found it less to be about Christianity, but more about the universal themes of forgiveness and acceptance. The high average review rating does not reflect some masterful writing and a book of universal appeal. Instead, I think most of the people who read romance novels are doing the reviewing, and this book seems to be one of the better of such novels.Get more detail about Redeeming Love.
