By far, the best novel I’ve read. Michael Hosea tops all the book husbands and boyfriends in the world. This is such an emotional ride showing how great, how wide and how deep the father’s love is for us. Captured from the book and life of Hosea, Michael’s love is patient, relentless, forgiving, and overflowing like a stream in a parched land. Angel is a reflection of how much a great love as this could purify you and polish you like gold. I will need a week to recover! ❤️
In Romans 8:28 we read, “God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them”
The movie was as moving as the book! 👏🏻"

"For those of you who like reading before seeing the movie/tv show this book is *chefs kiss*. It’s based of a book in the Bible (Hosea) but you don’t have to read that before reading this. It’s so beautifully written and does at great job of showing patients and love. If you’re a fan of Nina Dobrev and Eric Dane are both in the movie. The movie comes out the end of January 2022! I’m so excited and I plan on rereading this book!"
