These books are about 5 women who were chosen by God to serve a special purpose, and to play a major role in the lineage of Christ. They are known as the Lineage of Grace series. I checked them out individually.

Summary from Goodreads...
"In this compilation of the five books in the best-selling Lineage of Grace series by Francine Rivers, we meet the five women whom God chose—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Each was faced with extraordinary—even scandalous—challenges. Each took great personal risk to fulfill her calling. Each was destined to play a key role in the lineage of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World."

From Goodreads...
"Best-selling author Francine Rivers skillfully retells the biblical love story of Gomer and Hosea in a tale set against the exciting backdrop of the California Gold Rush. The heroine, Angel, is a young woman who was sold into prostitution as a child. Michael Hosea is a godly man sent into Angel's life to draw her into the Savior's redeeming love. This remarkable novel has sold over a million copies globally and has been a fixture on the CBA bestsellers list for nearly a decade. A six-part reading guide, suitable for individual use or group discussion, is included in this best-selling novel."
I haven't read Redeeming Love, but I'm going to add it to my list. Do you read Christian fiction? Who is your favorite author?
I have not read the Lineage books but I have read Redeeming Love and loved it.
ReplyDeleteBeth--I loved the Lineage Books, and I've read several other of her books. I've never read Redeeming Love though. I'm going to try to read it soon! It sounds like something I'd really like. Thanks so much for reading my blog and commenting! I read yours everyday.
ReplyDeleteI read some Christian Fiction. I like it when it has a good plotline though, which I find is often hard to come by. Some of my favourites growing up were the Mandy mysteries - so fun with brilliant values :)
ReplyDeleteMelissa--Our local library was having a book sale a couple weeks ago, and I actually bought my daughter one of the Mandy mysteries. Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed them. my favorite one was probably the one about bathsheba. they are very inspiring books. of course amy told me about them.
