Had a super time tonight discussing a very thought provoking and convicting book; Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. The fellowship was sweet, the coffee was terrific, and the discussion superb. We all learned a great deal from this book; from relating to others sins, identifying with sinners, compassion for others in the prisons of their sin, and the list goes on. This book moved some of us to tears, and some of us to an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward the God that loves us enough to pursue us weak though we are.
We decided that we would come up with our own rating system and came up with five questions in which to ask about different aspects of the book. The questions are:
- How life changing was it for you?
- Was it quality literature?
- Was it enjoyable?
- Did it change your thinking?
- Would you read it again?
Go ahead and ask yourselves the questions and then give it a rating. Be sure to post it in the comment section or write a post about it!
Am already looking forward to next month and the discussion about Heaven with Peter Kreeft.
I will rate Redeeming Love somewhere between 3 3/4 stars to 4 stars. I thought the book left hanging a few very important loose ends that I felt were never really resolved. Paul was a bit of a stretch to me as well. Mrs. Rivers does a marvelous job on the believability of the character Sarah and what she would constantly be a struggling with in her life. It's almost as if she has gone through similar struggles of her own. Just a thought. I did not want to put it down, but I am not sure that I would read it again. A wonderful read and would recommend it highly.
Well, gotta go to sleep now! Lynn
