This study companion is thorough and also explores the book itself a bit deeper. Its not a light and fluffy read in the least -- not a quick pick me up before breakfast. It pulls from the author's own experiences and shares vulnerabilities from her own life and does really dig deep. However, even in the first few readings, I may have disagreed with a bit of the tone or sentiments I personally interpreted. I may not be able to quite communicate what I mean, but will say it didn't feel as hopeful or hope-filled as a study on love and redemption might be.

What I liked:
- Bible Truths

Meh:
- The questions were almost too long and made it hard to reflect on my own. It would probably be okay in a group setting.

I want to thank @waterbrookmultnomah through @netgalley for allowing me a copy of this book. I enjoyed this book filled with God’s word and would recommend this to anyone who has read redeeming love and wants to dive deeper into a relationship Him.

Redeeming Love has been a favorite book of mine for many years so I was excited to see that the author, Francine Rivers, had written a Bible study to go along with the book. I was not disappointed. I will say that if you have not read the book, you need to do that before you go through this six week Bible study. I say this because each day includes a scene from the book and then some thoughts from the authors. I liked that there were only three lessons each week instead of the typical five. This allowed more time to think about the questions presented at the end of each day. This is not a study you will want to do quickly because it gives you a lot to think about.

Thank you to WaltBrook and Multnomah and Netgalley for a copy of this book. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

If you’ve loved the original book, you’ll appreciate this companion study. This book goes a little further in explaining some aspects of the book, and the scripture that accompany it give greater insight. This would be excellent for a study group or book club to read in addition to the book.

Gorgeous book that complements the original book in a beautiful way! Highly recommend it! It will enrich your reading experince of Redeeming Love :)

A bible study with a very conservative viewpoint. A companion to the novel, it doesn't delve much more deeply than the novel already does, and asks very leading questions. The whole study is designed to indoctrinate women into a subservient role in their marriage, rather than focusing on the lessons offered by the bible story illuminated by the novel. Only for a very niche audience.

The Redeeming Love Companion Study is a powerful book. The well-chosen excerpts are perfect launching pads for some deep study. 6 weeks, 3x per week, 10-15 minutes each, with a bit of the original story, the author's backstory, and up-close encounters with Biblical truth and characters. This book is painful, and yet full of life and hope. It definitely applies to us today, as much as ever.

I received a copy of this book from #NetGalley, and chose to review it here. all thoughts are my own.

I absolutely love this book and the companion was a perfect addition. I have read Redeeming Love several times and get something different each time I read.

5 ⭐️
One of the best bible studies of 2020.
I loved it. I pray women everywhere will get together, sharing their lives with each other while doing into this study. I would even suggest that you don’t have to read Redeeming Love to reap the benefits of this book. You can even study this alone with God to enjoy the healing and blessings it provides.

The things I loved:
*the truthfulness
*biblical stories
*realistic
*the “things to think about” sections
*comforting words

I highly recommend this and hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.


Thank you NETGALLEY and the publisher for this ARC, in exchange for my honest review. ♥️

Redeeming Love, the novel, had a major impact on my spiritual life when it was first released in 1991. Now I’m delighted to recommend this wonderful Companion Study to other fans of the novel. This study, full of important truths, shouldn’t be rushed. It is meant to be read, contemplated, and savored.

Redeeming Love: The Companion Study is broken into 6 categories, one for each week, which is further broken down into 3 chapters per week. This made it easy to follow and keep up and allows the reader with ample time to reflect on each theme without feeling rushed. Each chapter starts with an excerpt from the book followed by a detailed discussion on the theme of that excerpt. A "to think about" section follows which addresses us with questions to reflect on in our own lives. The chapter ends with relevant Bible readings.

It's been years since I first read Redeeming Love and this was a refreshing opportunity to revisit this profound story before the movie is released next year.

As a fan of both Francine Rivers and Angela Hunt I just knew this was going to be an epic study and I was not disappointed. This study is broken into six parts that focus on such essentials points of being a Christian. The way Angela creates such thought provoking questions surrounded around the passages from the book is everything. Already pre-ordered my physical copy!

This is a really good study to go along with the book Redeeming Love.

Thank you WaterBrook & Multnomah via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Redeeming Love: The Companion Study is a wonderful way to explore and get deeper into God's word. If you are looking for a study in scripture that is topic based, then this is a great study for you. I feel anyone who has read Redeeming Love will enjoy going deeper into the topics of God's Redeeming Love for us while searching scripture that will validate and reveal there is no sin that can separate us from God's love. He is pursuing us each and every day. No matter what has happened in the past, it is in the past. God loves us. God Loves YOU!

This is a really good study to go along with the book Redeeming Love. It digs deeper into the book and I really enjoyed it. Thank you WaterBrook & Multnomah via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

So there isn't much to say about this because you need to read the book itself, but the study is a great thing to go through with the book. I feel it is well thought out and makes the actual book so much better and deeper! I will definitely be suggesting this to my friends if they purchase the book!

I am a fan of the Redeeming Love novel and often recommend it to readers if they are seeking a Christian influence. This guide is a wonderful tool to use to dig deeper. I received this as a ARC from Netgalley and WaterBrook and Multnomah. 5 stars.
If you haven't read the book please read it first.

Meant to be savored! Share with others for an even more enriching look at this timeless classic. I have been a long-time fan of Redeeming Love and have often desired a focused, guided study on the powerful truths of love and redemption that are so eloquently written in this treasure. I was so excited to receive this book I inhaled it in one sitting! It does not disappoint, and the long wait was well worth it. Now, I am in the process of going through it a slower, more reasonable pace and look forward to being able to do with this with other women. Angela Hunt is the perfect co-author to accompany Francine Rivers in this study and together, they pen a richly meaningful look at the story that has impacted so many lives through Christian fiction.

REDEEMING LOVE : THE COMPANION STUDY by FRANCINE RIVERS with Angela Hunt, is a six week Bible study with excerpts from Redeeming Love, Bible verses, and essays from the author, which teach us so much about ourselves and our Christian walk, and also underline the incredible love the Father has for us, that I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Redeeming Love is the first Christian novel I read and I have reread it many times. There is so much biblical truth in its pages, that, if you have not already done so, please do yourself a favour and read it, together with this amazing Bible study!
