[Faith Ojomolade · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The reading was awesome! The reader incorporated all the emotion needed for each dialogue and that made the whole story sink in even much more better. Well, it's no news that Francine Rivers is a great writer. The novel cut across issues that rise up as pertains to abortion as a subject, all answered in the context of the believing community, utilized all the issues and questions to the point where we are without excuse, brilliant!

It's also awesome that this was written more than a decade ago and it is still a prevalent issue. God help us.

Every one says Reedeming Love is her best book. I disagree . While I haven't read all of Francine's book, I've read quite a few and this was AMAZING!

Powerful, true, searching the heart of everyone in and out of the room. Think long and hard about your decisions they could form your blessings or begin your nightmares. I loved every minute of this book.

[Anna Siciliano · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book answers so many questions about abortion and how it affects women’s lives medically, emotionally and spiritually. It also show the affect on men’s lives. The main character, Dinah, can teach us all about seeking God’s will in difficult situations. Thank you Francine Rivers for breathing this book to life.

[Danielle · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed this book, I look forward to more titles.

[Blessing Okpuzor · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It’s so real. I could literally feel all the characters come alive. At some point I was crying at Dynah’s helplessness as though she were someone I knew physically. Francine also did a good job capturing the reassuring voice of the Lord.

This book is a beautiful piece!

[Merlin Kurian · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A clear message on what God thinks and therefore what His word says on life in a mother’s womb. Loved this must-read book.

[domi · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a beautiful and wise book. The history of terribly hurt Diana, who gets unwilling pregnant and regardless everyone else stays faithful to God. It should be read by everyone to see the corrupted world we live in, in which the "woman's choice" is seen as the best and righteous solution.

[Renee Bhagwandeen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I think this book is a blessing in this “pro choice” world! Lord save us for our sins! I loved this book so much it was a voice in the wind in my time of longing for God .

[Annie Crauwcamp · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]
