“It’s sort of an allegory about every sinner who ever comes to Christ, because we all start as children of darkness… It’s really a story of how God woos each of us and has a plan for us and how we turn away-repeatedly.

The novel went on to become a New York Times bestseller and has sold millions of copies to date. Thirty-one years ago, acclaimed romance novelist Francine Rivers wrote Redeeming Love shortly after becoming a Christian.
