For little over a week I waited patiently (with the exception of the ‘why was it taking so long’ rants!) Finally it arrived, neatly wrapped in a brown cardboard box it lay on my bed starring back at me, I couldn’t conceal my grin; my hands and body launched forward ripping open its package. I stood and starred at its front cover taking it all in, I opened the front page slowly and carefully as I began to read.
Looking at my bedroom clock I realised it had just gone 2am, I couldn’t believe how quickly time had passed but I didn’t want to put it down; I had to be up for work in a few hours, I told myself I would finish the next few sentences and go to sleep... I got to sleep a few minutes before 4am. Over the next few days every free moment I had was spent with Redeeming Love.. I read it on my way to work, during my lunch break, on my way home from work and as soon as I got home; it had taken my heart hostage, I simply couldn’t get enough, I had fallen in love.
The tale of Redeeming Love is so much more than a flow of ink on a series of pages, it brought life to my imagination, it reinforced true love exists and spoke to my heart in a language it understood that true love saves, stands and fights for you.
I cried, felt frustrated and got excited at the rollercoaster tale. It encouraged me to question my choices, my motives and the motives of others.
I give Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers 5 out of 5 and recommend you read it. I have read it twice and it was even better the second time! xoxo
