Francine Rivers is my aunt, and I very proud of her. I know that this book has touched a lot of people's lives and she is an inspiration to all!
Thank you all very much! Your replies mean a lot to me and my family
Please tell your aunt that she is my favorite author. That her writing is truly a gift from the Holy Spirit, and that every book that I read of her shapes me into who I am. I’ve learned so much from the books that I have read of hers so far and I can’t wait to read every word that she writes. God bless her❤️
@@JisSilent_ Thank you very much! My aunt will appreciate your kind words, and I feel that her humility is what makes her the special person she is!
I wish she was my aunt, lol! Francine Rivers' books have meant so much to me over the years and I can't stop reading them! She has also helped me so much on my own writing style and with struggles in my life. Tell her thank you from all her fans for following God's call on her life and being such a big inspiration to us all!!! ♥️
I have SO ENJOYED your aunt’s work . They have blessed my faith walk in incredible ways. I wish more of her books were made into movies especially The Mark of the Lion Series. 😊
I truly hope the movie stays true to the book, I hope it doesn’t focus on a romance more than the true message of an unconditional love that only God provides
I hope so too!
Yes and the real pain of sin!
Exactly! Or the "romantic" scenes either...
yes completely agree! if they glaze over the parallel pointing to God's redemption of us they have completely missed the point
Absolutely. You've voiced my fear too. I hope and pray that God would shine through this movie like in the book. I'm certain that all who have read must have been transformed in some way....hope the movie has the same effect.
I'm so pleased they haven't seemed to shy away from there bleaker parts of the book. I was really concerned that they would. But it needs to show how lost in the dark she was so the real truth of God's light and love shines all the brighter.
Yes!!! Just praying they show it’s about Gods love.. not just Micheals
@@jessicacherevko2755 Given that Francine Rivers was very involved and on set I don't think we need to be to worried about that. But I also hope that it will maybe a more gentle message of God's powerful love that will open people's hearts and break down walls, than what can sometimes be a more forceful message that turns people off and causes them to strengthen their barricades. Remember God's still small voice.
@@jessicacherevko2755 They would miss the point of the book and the real meaning of the end if it's all about Michael.
@@perrymethodistga absolutely!! :)
@@jessicacherevko2755 I remember a part of the book where after Amanda/Angel left, was depressed and angry with God. “I don’t understand anything anymore, Lord. Losing her is like losing half of myself. She loved me. I know she did. Why did you drive her from me?”
God said, “You shall have no other gods before me.”
Michael said, “When have I worshiped anyone but you? I’ve followed you all my life. I’ve never put anyone before you. I love her, but I never made her my god.” But Michael became hers.
That’s the main message of the book, and I’m very excited to see it translated on screen, because while Michael might love her, God loves her more. “Her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael Hosea does…the One who will never let her go.”
After reading the comments on how amazing and life-changing the book is, I searched for it and finished reading it in just a day. And it indeed was, it's not a story of romance but finding love and peace with God. The message of the book was so beautiful it pierced my heart and brought me to tears, I really hope this movie also delivers that.
This is incredible. Thank you for reading Redeeming Love. You're going to love the movie.
@Haraya.. could you plz tell me from which site you read this book..bcz I searched for it on Google but I didn't get any PDF of this book.
I remember reading the book for the second time when I was old enough to understand what I was reading. I cried my eyes out. It helped me appreciate the love Christ has for me. His love is really redeeming.
❤
Me too I cried alot reading this book😭😣
What's the name of the Book or the author??
@@e.jessicah.m.890 It's called Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers.
Finally, a Christian movie that millions will watch because of the great acting & cinematography.
Good Job!
And how do we know it's not sexually graphic? The movie trailer doesn't really indicate it won't be.
@@forliberty1805 True. I guess we'll have to wait and see
@@forliberty1805 That was my thought too. Lots of skin and intimate scenes in just the trailer.
@@forliberty1805 The Bible has tons of graphic content too: rapes, murders, sexual imagery in Song of Songs, etc.
Blake A yup yup if the whole Bible were put into a movie the rating would have to be R
Been waiting 10 years for this moment! Looks awesome :)
Yess this is my moms favorite book so shes really excited!
First time seeing the Trailer. I am so excited! And I like that they played the music Rescue in it :)
You can say that again
Me too!!!
It'll be worth the wait!!!♥
This book played such a huge part in me becoming a christian. I read it every New Years Eve as a reminder of where I was and what the Lord rescued me from so that I start the new year in a posture of humility and gratitude. I can't wait to see this story brought to life. The trailer brought me to tears
It may not be like the book you read. Many producers go off the trails when it comes to following books. I expect this movie to be pretty sexually graphic.
@@forliberty1805 yo, you’ve written this comment like 10 times on here... why are you discouraging people from watching this movie?? It doesn’t even seem like you’ve read the book. The book was a huge bless to me and to many others, the movie promises to be too.
If you’re worried about it being sexually graphic or anything bad, then don’t watch it. But don’t ruin this for people please.
Amen and same here He just used it to restore me
@@glamour6810 I fully agree. Poor lib should change her name to Legalistic.
Obviously from a finger pointing, heavy handed legalistic sect, that forgets where they, themselves came from & are too busy judging others, to hold up a mirror & repent.
They need prayer to be baptized & blessed by His Holy Spirit, so they can have their eyes open to the things God wants them to. And be a blessing to others, over a turn off.
Consequences for willful ignorance seems to escape them, too. :/
This book moved me beyond my years as a young teen. It has the perfect amount of faith and love! I cannot wait to see this film! I hope they keep it close to the book!!!!
Can I ask who's the author of the book?
Francine Rivers! Incredible writing!
That's exactly my thoughts.. please let them keep it close to the book. Already I'm not convinced with the actors, I really hope they prove me wrong. I had a different Angel in mind I guess...
@@AD-lc8pw me too. Praying super hard....🙏
@@AD-lc8pw I had a different Hosea
I've probably read this book about 4 times now and it feels new for me everytime. I remember saying "Lord I wish someone would capture this beautiful story in a movie" and boom💥 it's finally happening. This is so amazing. To someone out here, God is still in the business of writing and rewriting His children's love stories. No matter the situation of your relationship, I am here to tell you that God gives 2nd, 3rd , 4th and as many chances as we need to get it right. Just come as you are and surrender it all to Him.Hold on and don't give up, help is on the way. Shalom...
💯
Amen!
Too few ‘Christians’ here getting the message.
Makes me wonder how much they’re missing in His Word, too. :/
Ill never forget when this book found me. I was at a probation office, and to say it wasa crappy time in my life is an understatement..
A middle aged woman came to me with this book in hand, and gave it to me. I dont rememyehat she said, but its rude to refuse a freely given gift...so i took it. It sat on my bookshelf for years. I finally read it, and i was hit with so many emotions.
I FULLY resonate with "Angel" in every aspect and to see her get a happy, relentless, Godly love was fulfilling. I have given up mostly on a "michael" type of man, but i hope one day, im blessed to be loved in a way that points me back to Christ. All in all, Francine did her thing-she touched my heart and i try not to read it too much due to how heavy it is on me.
I finally watched the movie today. Im sad, not because there was anything wrong with it, but because it was so ACCURATE and just as heavy as the book. Its definitely a good read and movie.
I have read the book multiple times. It has played such an important role in my own life. Cannot wait for the movie!
God's passion for us runs SO deep. There's nothing he won't do to reach us. Doesn't the cross of Christ say that? And this novel, and now this movie, shout that truth. Come on JANUARY 21st!
Amen!
Wasn’t familiar w/the book or author, but glad I saw the movie.
Really hits hard on His unimaginable love for us.♥🙌
I just finished reading this book after hearing so much about it. I’ve lost so much faith in God, in hope, in life.. but this booked opened a light on me that no other has. The amount of love that I felt from reading this book was incredible. I cried my heart out. What a powerful book! I can’t wait to watch the movie!
❤
I am gay, but man! there's no more beautiful than a man and woman falling in love with other, I really adore and respect this kind of Love
Te recomendo ler o livro, pois o verdadeiro tema é sobre o AMOR que REDIME, que DEUS sente por nós, seu cuidado mesmo quando não vemos e sua paciência em esperar por nós.
Que o amor não aprisiona e sim liberta.
Deus o abençoe.
Hope you saw the movie & understand that’s how God & our Savior love us sinners.
Once He gets hold of us, He doesn’t let go. We are the guilty ones that keep Him at bay.
Please ask Jesus to Reveal Himself & His deep love to you. Please start to read about His Redeeming love in His Word, the greatest love letter ever...
Psalms is a good area, & the Book of John. Just 5 min a day to start to allow Him to draw you in. A few minutes in each will begin to Reveal who Jesus is.
Always ask Him to show you what He wants to in it, before you open it. Ask His Holy Spirit to open your heart to Him.
And just talk to Him throughout your day. About anything. He knows it anyway. But just wants to share in everything w/us.
Like any good relationship, we grow closer the more time we spend w/them. That’s all He wants.
Be Blessed by His Great Love for you.♥✝🕊
Then why are u gay
I absolutely love how many Brazilians are here. Redeeming Love seems to be a huge hit there!
Yes, it is! I'm brazilian! Thank you for the love! I can't wait for the movie here 😍❤❤
Yess, the book is not very famous, but the many fans are very dedicated!
We love it too!
Yes, it is well loved in Brazil!!! ❤
I can't remember when I have looked forward to a movie so much!! I read Redeeming Love every summer!
Me too! I’ve read all her books and some twice. She is my all-time fav
@@kimmeek7734 Since you read all of them, are there any with the same feel as Redeeming Love? I’ve been looking at her list of books and can’t decide to read which to read next. I would love one that gives you all the feels like Redeeming Love, that can change your life like this one. What other book by her would you recommend?
@@lilysalem7541 , Master Piece is great. Also 'Mark of the Lion' series and 'A Lineage of Grace" are favorites of mine.
Nice is it good the books
@@micheliewelly it's the best nonfiction book I have ever read.
IT'S GOING TO BE EVERYTHING I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE. The trailer really moved me to tears. My husband says I can't stop those tears because they flow from a place of true understanding. This story (when I first read it in a day and half) justvbeautifully orchestrates just how focused and determined God is to to pull you close. He is so in love with you that even when you get stuck in the matrix of this life, He'll never let up. His behavior is that of a gentleman. Super excited about January 21st.
We're so happy you loved the trailer! We can't wait for you to see the film this January.
@@RedeemingLoveMovie does it come out in the UK?
This this this!!!! This book impacted me in the most powerful way possible because it felt like I was reading my story.....😭
Great comment it brought me to tears
@@pettyannmurrell5689 I'm just honestly so grateful for the breath He gives my children and I daily. The opportunity to heal and not be bound by the worldly distractions (finally) is such a blessing. He has truly redeemed me! Jesus really does save!! Many blessings to you and your family (& friends). No matter what don't forget Jesus loves you!!
OH MY GOSH!!!!! This is hands down one of the absolute best books I’ve ever read in my 33 years of life! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is insane!!! The cast for this movie is absolutely awsome, such great actors and familiar faces, wow! My jaw dropped the moment I saw the video title ❤️
We love the cast as well! They did a fantastic job!
@@RedeemingLoveMovie They did!
As someone who was unfamiliar w/the book & author, I saw it only b/c of Daystar saying how wonderful it was, this week.
So caught it on the last day. What an incredible way to portray God’s unfailing, unstoppable, Redeeming Love.
Now, I want to read the book!
Disheartening to read so many judgmental, ignorant Christians here. Even before the release!
Wow.
Hope many unsaved women saw it. They certainly wouldn’t get God’s unrelenting love, Grace & mercy shown, through any of them.
Great job! Thank you!
Wow! The movie looks like it’s going to be amazing!! I’ve read the book 3 times!! I rarely read a book twice. This book was very pivotal for me….I was living in a sober living home after 30 days living in rehab….still healing from sexual abuse….but this touched my heart and drew me to the Lord. I met my husband 6 months later who was a youth pastor and have been in ministry for over 16 years now. I can NOT wait to see the movie!! Sure hope it does the masterpiece of a book justice. 🙏♥️
🤎🤎🤎 He is so good
I’ve read this book once a year since 2003 ❤️ Absolutely and profoundly impacted my life and understanding of Christ’s unconditional and consuming love for us.
The book is phenomenal and absolutely touching!! So excited for this movie. Thank you all❤️
We're so excited for you to see it!
Redeeming Love was the most amazing book I have ever read. It brought many tears and smiles.
I have recommended it to so many people and everyone that read it said it touched them deeply.
Big fan of Francine Rivers!!! After reading redeeming love I just knew that it was not just a book but a way of God speaking to me about His love and persistence. I can't wait to watch the movie. The trailer is already fantastic! Currently reading "Her mother's hope" and I'm already in love with the novel. Thank you so much Francine Rivers for your inspiring novels. You are an epitome of God's grace. God bless you and please don't stop writing.
You will love Her Daughter's Dream....book 2 of that series. Thank God for Francine!!!!
This book taught me to have more compassion on people, to look past how people act and consider why they act this way. This was a huge in my personal life and ministry. It gave me insight to help more people and never take it personal.
Growing up with my sisters, my mum always bought us Christian novels, and we instantly fell in love with all the Francine Rivers novels. She became and still is our favourite Christian fiction writer....My sisters and I had read Redeeming Love several times, but I was privileged to watch the movie with my husband two days ago, and I really must say... its a PERFECT visualisation of the book! Some things I didn't totally understand back when I was younger, I now did as I watched the movie. Thank you so much Francine Rivers for this movie! It's a Masterpiece! And the message of the story was not detracted from one bit....what an overwhelming love of God our Ever Loving Father! I encourage everyone who hasn't yet watched this movie, please go and watch, and enjoy this beautiful story depiction of the Redeeming Love of God! God bless you all!
Why am I getting teary eyed watching the trailer?!? I guess because this book was so Amazing and I am so excited to see the movie. Just a few months away!
I can't wait to see this! That book is one of my favorites and has helped me in so many ways. I gave up on finding my Michael but then the Lord brought me him and I can't be more thankful. Can't wait to see this.
Still praying and hoping and also feeling like maybe I'm not ready probably never will. I don't know how to love that much I know which is why I related so much to Angel in so many ways.
I love this book so much. This book helped me so much in the beginning of my walk with Christ. I hope the movie does the book justice and keeps its focus on Jesus❤️
Hands down my favorite book ever. Sat up all night years ago the first time I read it. Have read it several times and told many others of it. So reminds me how God will never give up or forget about me in any way. Gods love is a redeeming love. This book connected with my soul. I also love the Mark of the Lion series. You read them and they become imbedded in your soul. I’ve spoken so much of Francine Rivers books that my family all knows what to buy me for holidays. I have given many of them away also and my daughter bought me a new trilogy pack of the Lion series. Can’t forget any of them.
This is such a good book I love that they made it a movie, I’m looking forward to it. When I first read it I didn’t love the first two thirds but the last third was amazing. I hope they do the last part as close to the book as possible, the circumstances of her final walk out really brought her story full circle and it wouldn’t be the same if they altered it. I do find it refreshing that the trailer shows almost none of the actual movie and really only the intro to her background.
This song is perfect for this movie. I've read the book several times and it is phenomenal. Looking forward to seeing this movie!
Please what is the name of the song ? I have been trying to recollect . Thank you.
I can not wait to see this! I will be counting down the days, adding it to my calendar right now! I’m so please to see that they haven’t been shy about adding in the horrible parts of the book- it’s through the darkness that you begin to see the light! Especially with this book! ❤️❤️
My all,time favorite book. I have given it to so many women during my life. Francine Rivers is amazing!!! God blessed and led your hand in writing this classic ❣️
Very happy to see that this story hasn't been whitewashed. This is one of my favourite books because it holds a mirror up to my relationship with God. All my mess, all my filth and He's always coming back for me. Also, could there have been a more fitting soundtrack? (the answer is no 😊)
I'm crying here. Such a lovely trailer. Such an amazing story. Thanks, Francine Rivers. Thanks, Universal. 2022, come soon.
♥
The Unconditional, all-consuming love is God's love! No man can love like that on his own, God is love and His love truly is all-consuming and life changing! I and countless other's are proof of that! I love you Jesus, thank you for saving my life!
My favorite book of all time. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie. I really hope the message of the book which centers on Christ's love and redemption is not watered down else, the aim of the book will be defeated.
I can't wait! I don't know how many times I come back to this trailer. This is BEAUTIFUL!
This book resonated with me so much and changed my life. This trailer already looks like it does it justice.
About time!!! Let's put faith based films in the map once more and more importantly - the Cape Town film industry! Just beautiful!!
I can't even put into words just how excited I am about this movie, and the way this trailer makes me feel.
It looks exactly like I had imagined.
Really beautiful.
We are SO excited for you to see it this January!
I have read this book countless times, and loved it more each time! Life changing!❣️❤️
GUYS THE MOVIE IS SOOO BEAUTIFULLY DONE. I LOVE IT. I have never seen a movie match a book so well. ❤❤❤😭😭😭
I have read this book like 5 times and each time I discover that God's love is unending and redeeming. No matter how bad your past is His love is always going to be here for you. Am so glad they've made a movie from this book.
I've been waiting for this movie for years. I've read this book probably 100 times. Francine Rivers is my favorite author. I hope to see the movies for 'Her mother's hope' and 'A daughter's dream' some day❤️
OMG! I read this book only once like about 15 years ago and I still remember the impact it had on me, I could not put this book down. It was one of the first books I bought for myself. I lent it out and never got it back, so when I came across one I had to get it. I was just about to do a reread this week. Nice to know there is a movie coming out and I'm definitely watching it
One of my favorite books. Goosebumps and tears watching the trailer. Can’t wait!
I adore this book and I’m cautiously optimistic about this movie because this trailer looks so good. I hope it isn’t like traditional Christian movies where the script feels like it has to bludgeon you over the head with the wrap up ‘message of the day’ and I really hope they stay true to the story and don’t try to ‘sanitize’ it for certain demographics/markets.
The book was absolutely terrible, too honestly. It would have been amazing if Angel had stayed with the nuns and community of survivors and hadn't returned to Michael who never respected anything about her. But she returned to him and we had to have that cringe-worthy scene where she did a striptease in the end because she was still playing the role of the "I have no worth to him" and portraying Michael as a "savior" even though he wasn't even a decent man.
Michael was the epitome of a horrible man to a trauma survivor. As someone who has spent over a decade working in anti trafficking advocacy and am a #metoo and child abuse survivor, Michael was simply another domestic abuser grooming a vulnerable, traumatized woman. He acted very little different from the pimps an sex buyers she spent all her life with. He just dressed it up with religious words and roped his family into the brainwashing process, and all they did was shame her for having PTSD, had no patience with her, and told her that a baby would "fix" everything when she had miscarriages and abortions in her past. The plot of this book was so disgusting and vilifying to survivors, I just can't.
@@EmilybShore wow. Good point!
@@EmilybShore Wow! I never thought about it like this, and honestly, it's been a few years since I've reread the book. I'm going to read it again with this critical lens in mind. Thanks for sharing this comment, Emily! Sending you love and all the positivity as you continue on your journey.
@@raqlionchaser I honestly felt the same as you when I first read it. But I grew up in a religious cult and began deconstruction a couple years ago. Also trained for ten years in anti trafficking and anti abuse. So, when I read it with new eyes, I picked up on all these terrible patterns and how Michael shared the same traits as abusers. It’s simply more emotional and psychological (which is a lot of abusers frankly). Add in some evangelical prosperity gospel and trauma shaming and some steamy erotic tension, and you get a best selling Christian romance. 😞
@@EmilybShore the book is supposed to be a parallel for God (Michael) and Israel (Angel)...maybe it's not perfect the way Francine wrote it but it's literally what happened in the book of Hosea..
This movie is a truly masterpiece with an extremly beautiful and beneficial teaching.
I remember this book. It captured my heart. When I saw the title of the movie I thought could it be?
Watching the trailer confirmed it.
Excellent book!!!
WooHoo! Finally have a release date; been a long time coming but I bet it's SO WORTH THE WAIT!! ♥ I hope it follows the book because this book is my ALL TIME FAVORITE ♥👏🙂
OMG! Hands down the best romantic novel I've ever read! Over and over. Michael Hosea's love for her shook me to the core. So deep, so true, so erotic! Can't wait!
I can't wait to see this movie, this book moved me to tears. I gifted mine to a friend that I felt needed to understand Gods redeeming love.
I just watched the movie in South Africa, man some of the best 2+ hours I spent on a Saturday afternoon. Nothing was taken away from the book such a great way of bringing the book to life.
BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TRAILER ALL YEAR!!🥰😇🙏
Chills. Literal chills. Can't wait. I'm seeing this in theaters with my mom the day it comes out, and I hope they portray everything like the book did. Especially God's love. That was the most impactful thing in the entire book.
Edit: Just watched the movie, and it was AWESOME!
I cannot wait for this movie. The book is amazing! It looks like there are some really talented actors in it. Read Redeeming Love three times, bought it for friends. The unconditional love of God is amazing. Bound to have audiences entralled. Love it!
Omg I’m in tears! My significant other is in prison and we read this book together during quarantine💜. So excited to see the movie.
I saw this trailer & was so intrigued & looked it up to see it is based off a book that has so many amazing reviews, so I ordered it. I want to read it before I watch the movie, I’m so excited. It’s not my usual genre & ever since my teen years & realizing I’m trans I have lost a lot of my faith because so many say my identity is a sin. I hope that this book will be able to help me.
I have been looking forward to this all year! I love redeeming love, I've read it two times. It is incredibly encouraging.
This is my favorite fictional book!!! So excited to see this beautiful book made into a movie! This book made the book of Hosea in the Bible truly one of my favorites!! Love how God redeems us!!!
AT LAST!!!!
Many of us have been waiting for this book to become a movie. God is good and can heal ANY HURT.
This book changed my life in a very powerful way. Can't wait to see this!!!!!!!
Where can I read the books
I have never forgotten this book and it's been more then 10 years since I read it. I remember everyone in my high school read this and it was a highly recommended one. A profound and amazing tale of God's undying and patient love for us. Finally it's a movie💃💃💃
I love this book so much. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I’ve already read it about a dozen times. I always keep an extra copy to share with someone that I think would enjoy it, or relate to it. It’s so powerful it brings me to tears every time I read it.
I am sooooo super excited for this movie. I've been waiting at least a year and a half and I've read the book multiple times. I can relate so much to the story line. Can't wait. It looks amazing!! Thank you God for rescuing me (and each of us in our own special way and journey)
Please be a good one🤞🤞, the book was fantastic
I read this book many years ago, I am not a religious person.
But the life of this girl, shocked me, fascinated me from page 9.
I borrowed the book to friends a long long time ago, but I still remember the page❤
Omg I am shakingggg. I’ve read this book at least 5 times😭 and I always said it should have a movie. To see thisssss!!! I CANNOT wait. I hope this movie does justice to the book because the book literally changed my life and my perspective on Christianity and Jesus.
this book saved my life, i'm so happy to see it turn into a movie! 😭
Every time I watch this trailer it brings tears to my eyes. I have read the book several times and have read the book to a dear friend of mine. I truly believe God's hand will touch each soul that reads the book or watches the movie. That is my prayer! Thank you Francine for listening to God when you wrote this beautiful story. I plan to share this with everyone I know to see this remarkable movie! 🙏❤🤗
Thank you!! We can't wait!
Me too it brings tears to my eyes just watching the trailer
Love this book! Finally someone makes a movie from one of Francine Rivers books.
Read this book when I was 16 and every yr since so been waiting 23yrs for this movie to come out. Just praying that they have kept true to the book. Looks awesome
I have, shamelessly, read this book at least 6 times, lol! When I first heard about this, I was skeptical too. But knowing that Rivers wrote the script and is Executive Producer along with Roma Downey made me feel a lot better. Also, I'm glad that they aren't sugar-coating this. The book is rough, so this needs to be rough too. That way the beauty, grace and REAL REDEEMING LOVE OF GOD is seen!!!! Can't wait for January!!!
We are SO excited for you to see it!
i don't recall the book ever being explicit whatsoever and i was definitely fearful of hollywood taking on a story like this one where it's essentially about the redeeming love of Christ. but based on a lot of the preview clips here, i hope to God their focus is not solely on the romance/sexual scenes.
Yes I was thinking the same thing. I have never read the novel so I wasn’t sure if this was a Christian movie until the song started playing. I sincerely hope it’s not all about the sexual parts. I can’t decide if I want to bring middle school aged children to the movie, but it doesn’t preview appropriately.
@@moodsofkiwi9285 i had commented about this on the movie's instagram and they actually replied. i do not believe they spoke anything about God in the movie based on the response they gave me but apparently they still claimed that it was rated "PG-13" ....the previews say otherwise in my opinion. it's very sad.
being someone that never read the book, I was confused seeing people say its a "Christian" movie but there's clearly explicit/sexual scenes
@@moodsofkiwi9285 Here's the thing...What exactly defines a Christian movie? Does it mean it has to be for children? In my opinion, children shouldn't read the book either. There is Christian material in this world that should not be read or seen until a certain age. This story is about a prostitute coming to learn the love of Jesus Christ through the husband who bought her from the brothel. It is based on the book of Hosea in the BIble. I can't speak for the movie as a whole, since I haven't seen it yet, but the book does not shy away from dark and realistic themes. She was a prostitute who didn't believe in love. When her husband buys her from the brothel, she avoids in depth conversation by trying to make him have sex with her, but he refuses and tells her he won't make love to her until she is ready and knows without a shadow of a doubt that he loves her and will never hurt her. The "explicit scenes" are her trying to tempt him into a carnal state so that she can prove him wrong. This is a very REAL story, and I wouldn't show it to children. But that doesn't mean it's sinful. Half of the reason the church is so useless is because we're not willing to go into the thick of it, so to speak. We're like Pharisees avoiding the "unclean" of the world and not willing to delve deep into a person's tormented soul because it's "inappropriate". It's why there's so many unconfessed sins in the church. Why would anyone dealing with sins and dark things in there life approach someone who can't hear or speak of such things without being shocked?
This book blew my mind because it didn't shy away from REALITY. I was changed as a writer after reading it. I am no longer scared to approach heavy, dark topics and willing to go anywhere as long as there's an intention for redemption and I share the love and truth of Jesus through my writing.
All this to say, I hope this doesn't sound condemning at all! That wasn't my intention. This movie is not intended for children and deals with trauma and sexual abuse themes. Adult Christians and any adults for that matter will be blown away if the movie did indeed stick with the book. That I do know. God bless you.
@@monaghanfan18 thank you, I agree the church shys away from truly dark but prevalent sin issues in the current times. I won’t show it to any children with the evaluations of all of you & others’ feedback. I know that my husband and I could probably watch it, my only other concern is my husband used to struggle with lust/pornography, which the HS has thankfully delivered him from. However that’s not to say he doesn’t experience temptation nowadays. So I’m trying to discern for him too
I looooved this book!!! (Well, I loved all of Francine Rivers book) extremely happy it is being turned into a movie! Can't wait to watch it.
Finally her music is coming into a movie the world needs to hear her WONDERFUL GOD GIVING MUSIC!!!!!!!
I cried watching this! I read the book about eight years ago, and it touched me beyond words. It seems like they’re truly going to do the book justice (even though I’ll probably always prefer the book-form😉). The way Francine connected the Redeeming Love of God to romantic love…wow, just wow!!!
After seeing the trailor I think I prefer the book.
This has been my most favorite book since i first read it, over 20 years ago. It's also the only book I have read over again multiple times. January can't come quickly enough!
This book, oh this book is just one of the greatest gift. I can't wait to watch this movie.
My friend G introduced the book to me about 15 years ago. Loved it. I can’t wait to see this come alive.
Omg best reminder notification ever!!
Can't wait, love Francine's work so much.
Favorite book of all time! And I’m so happy for this production. The movie looks so good
Awwww, I can’t wait for this! 😍😍😍 I LOVE Francine Rivers! She’s one of my favorite authors!
Crying tears of joy, l have waited for this for over half of my life😭😭😭😭💓💓💓
Que Maravilloso es tan adecuada para este Tiempo, que Dios toque muchos Corazones de Angel 🙏🏼❣
The trailer is just wonderful! Brazilians are waiting so much for the movie ♥
I loved this book!!!!....it gave me a deeper understanding of the Love of God and I hope they stay true to the intent of the story. I can't wait!!!!!
This novel made such a great impact on me! When I first read it I immediately thought that there should be a film for it, so this is really exciting for me!
Every great once in a while, I read a book so difficult I'm only able to get through it once, but so moving and profound that it sticks with me forever, and I find myself reflecting back on it all the time. This was one of them.
Love that!
The book was so heavy for me. After reading the first chapter I had to take a two week break. You're right, everything stuck. It's the best book.
OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!! Oh wow! I had my first encounter with Jesus when I read this book over 10 years ago! I had to go through a lot of growth since, but it all led to me having a real relationship with him. It's crazy that this movie is coming out right now, right after I've dedicated my life to Christ. Not only that, but it has such an amazing cast and I know it's going to be amazing. God is good! He works in strange and mysterious ways ♥️ Well done Francine Rivers and the Production team!
Yessss! So excited this book is finally a movie! Hope it does it justice. I've read the book so many times I've lost count. ❤️
Mdsssss que perfeição estou aos prantos 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amei esse filme, muito emocionante, te prende atenção do começo ao fim! Linda história de amor, mostra quando um homem temente a Deus pode mudar completamente a vida de uma pessoa. Super recomendo.
Francine is by far thee most brilliant writer I have ever come across. I love her. I have a collection of her books. I'm still collecting.
We agree!
So excited for this movie! It has strengthened my walk with God and been such a blessing to so many!
Im soooooo excited!!! I've been waiting!!!! Thank you Lord!!
