My original review as shown below was quite the raving one. I absolutely loved this book. Looking back now, though, I can definitely see some issues with it. I’m going to update my rating to 4 stars for now but I’m hoping to reread this one sometime soon to see how my opinion has changed :).
————————————————————————

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers has taught me many things.
Here is a brief list. The book showed me:

- how much God truly loves us
- how to love difficult people well
- how to be the hands and feet of Jesus
- how to understand that sometimes people hurt others because they themselves have been deeply wounded
- how the evil one works in our minds

... and so much more.

My only warning is to be careful if you are an emotional person like myself; I felt that I could not properly function while reading this book.

I pray that God would bless you and allow you to comprehend how He loves you more than you can imagine; if you want to know more about that love... read this book :).
