I love the mark of the lion series. (I read it in 2019) and absolutely loved it. Might have to read The Masterpiece next, it sounds soo good.

“Redeeming Love” and “The Masterpiece” are two of my favorite books. I read “Her Mothers Hope” and “Her Daughters Dream” in my early thirties when I was actually struggling with some female family members. I feel like these books came into my life at the perfect time. It does a great job covering several generations of women and the troubles in their relationships, within the family. I will never forget these two books.

I LOVE Francine Rivers and her books.I read "a voice in the wind" and it's my favourite book. Because of Francine rivers I'm more interested in reading the bible.Thanks for your inspiration

Thanks for sharing. I just came across Redeeming Love movie which drew me to search for Francine Rivers and saw your page. That was the first Christian movie I have seen in a long time that doesn't appear corny. I'm so glad to have discovered Francine Rivers and look forward to reading her other works. Blessings!

Great subject matter. I LOVE Francine Rivers and hands down my favorite author. I have a whole bookshelf dedicated to her. She’s wonderful!!!

I love Francine Rivers!! The order of my reads are (so far): Lineage of Grace (LOVED IT), Sons of Encouragement (very good read), after alot of procrastination (thinking it was a romance novel, but it wasn't) Redeeming Love. Then Mark of the Lion trilogy...ABSOLUTELY LOVED. As soon as you were trying to tell about the books without giving it away, I was tearing up because of all of the emotions in that series. I'm definitely going to read it again being that I marathoned those books within a month...just one more page, and you can't put it down.

I read "Her Mother's Hope" and the sequel. For me, these books made me cry. I cried more than once while reading and the ending is really strong and there are a lot of difficult themes throughout the book. I think you don't have to have a specific mother/daughter relationship to feel deeply about these books. I am a male and I felt it too. And very importantly these books are in part autobiographical.

Bridge to Haven sounds so intriguing! I also want to read the whole lineage of Grace series, I’ve only read Rahab’s story but I loved it so much!

I've read Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece and loved them both so very much! I just purchased The Atonement Child and And the Shofar Blew after watching you speak of them. I have Bridge to Haven on my shelf, as well as the Mark of the Lion series, but have yet to read them! She's such a talented author and definitely becoming one of my favorites!

Great video! All of the ones you loved are on top of my Rivers TBR! I’ve read Redeeming Love and The Masterpiece and now want to read everything she writes!

I’m so glad I found your channel!! ☺️🌱✨

Hello, I’m Brazilian and I loved your video. Thanks to speak about the books of Francine Rivers. 🥰

I have read redeeming love and bridge to haven from Francine Rivers. I love both of them!! 🤍

I didn’t know she was coming out with a new one, that’s awesome 🤗

I haven't read anything by her and I plan on joining you for redeeming love, but I am so intrigued by all of these. They all sound SO GOOD!

This was a wonderful recap of these books!! I haven't read any of her books yet, but Redeeming Love is the first on my list! I'm so excited to see how her interpretation of heart of God is present in her stories. The way you described some of the storylines made me super excited to start reading!

I think Sons of Encouragement is on my tbr. I love the covers for Bridge to Haven and The Masterpiece!

I have only read The Masterpiece but I would eventually like to get through them all!

I loved most of Francine Rivers books, books like redeeming love made such a big impression on me 🙏! Bridge to haven wasn’t my favorite, the relationship felt a bit off to me if I’m completely honest 🙈 In the masterpiece I loved his experience, I’ve heard people describing it that way, so I know it’s real. I also loved the loving atmosphere on the farm. Voice in the wind I found the best I think, I walked around with it, couldn’t put it down 😅

I Love Francine Rivers, she writes so beautifully well. I have a few of her books and have been trying to get the remaining but couldn't find them here. I'm not much of an ebook person, I prefer hard copy.

The Last Sin Eater is about a little girl who is seeking the one who can take her sins away and looks into old scandinavian culture. It is a lovely story.

Such a great video. I love Francine Rivers books.Yes you should read Her mother's hope and Her daughter's dream. Its a beautiful two book saga about women in a family through the generations. Its about the relationships between women their struggles, joys , reconciliation and forgiveness.

The Last sin eater is one of my favourites!

The Atonement Child is on my favourites shelf but I need to reread it as Redeeming love got demoted from my favourites shelf upon a recent reread 😜🤷🏼‍♀️

The Last Sin Eater is one of my favorite books of all time!

The mother and daughter Francine rivers ones where excellent !! Amazing defo recommend.

This is a great video!I haven’t read any of her work, so I really appreciate this! Thank you! 😊📚

Im so happy you made this video!!!I 👏 It’s been a long time since I read The Atonement Child but I remember crying so hard…all the emotions in that book! I just read Bridge to Haven last month and of course I loved it! I was concerned about the amount of sexual content but then I realized I think Francine Rivers puts the sexual content in her books because she wants her readers to realize it is God who created sex and sex is for marriage and it can be and is a beautiful thing if we apply sex to our lives the way God intended it. I loved watching the characters grow in their relationships with Christ in theMasterpiece. The Mark Of The Lion trilogy will forever and always be my most favorite biblical fiction ever and maybe my most favorite books Francine River has ever written. The Scarlet Thread was my least favorite of all her books. I liked it but didn’t love it. I need to read Leotas Garden it sounds so good. I want to reread Her Mother’s Hope and Her Daughter Dream, I remember really liking them but I can’t remember much. Probably because my kids were small and I rushed myself reading them. I could go on and on with her books but I’ll stop now.🤣 Thank you Oceana do doing this video I REALLY enjoyed it!!

I read redeeming love 12 years ago I absolutely enjoyed it so far it's the only book of hers that I have read 🥰💝💖👍

I've got to try her!

Thanks for sharing. Am also her fan....I like the romance, I was looking for an alternative to bad romantic novels and her book fail into my lab....ave read almost all....some more than once

She also wrote The Scarlet Thread, which I didn’t love, but it’s been a long, long time since I’ve read it.

oh you should definitely read the mother's hope series...it is so good. Wow!!! you will love it :-)

Thank you❤

I read Redeeming love and loved it. At the moment I’m reading the masterpiece and struggling to get into it.

Redeeming love was the first one I read also! Then I read the lady’s mine, and then the masterpiece. I am currently on the mark of lion trilogy, the last book, which definitely focus more on faith then romance which has helped me in my faith greatly! I must say I’m disappointed that the Teo main characters in the first two books aren’t going to be in the last one and it will switch back to a character who was in the first book but not the second.

Thank you for making this video. I encourage you to interview the author. Sade Robertson Huff did but did not read as many books as you and had too many selling points during her video. Nice job~=~

Thank you so much for all the detailed descriptions of the Francine Rivers books. My hubby loves reading this author and I've only read one. The Masterpiece. It was a 5* read for me! Excellent author.

🙏❤️

❤📚📚❤️

Great reviews!! I’ve read all of her books except ‘The Masterpiece’ and loved them all. ‘The Last Sin Eater’ is one of my favourites. Make sure to look up what a sin eater is before reading it. It will help you understand what’s going on! (It has to do with superstition) She also has 2 more books you didn’t mention which I loved as well. One Christmas book called ‘The Shoe Box’ and a non-fiction called ‘Earth Psalms.’

So im binging your videos and i love francine rivers! I’ve only read two books by her so far though. Her mother’s hope and her daughter’s dream. I came across atonement child and am tempted to read it but considering row vs wade… i dont know if i’d even admit it to anyone if i read it. Because now this is even more of an inflamatory topic. And yet… im curious.

Leota's Garden and the first two books in the Mark of the Lion are my favorites. Also liked The Scarlet Thread. Did not care much for The Masterpiece though.

From her books, The Last Sin Eater is my favourite novel. I think that you will like it very much.

Currently reading the atonement child, it's really good!! Very controversial though

Hi! Do you believe your channel reached Brazil? I was looking for Christian fiction books and to start reading in English and well... I got here. And I loved your channel!! I'm loving the recommendations. unfortunately English Christian fiction books are very expensive! But I already wrote down several titles and I'm super excited to read them. Kisses! God bless your channel :)

I’ve read all FR books and didn’t really like her mothers hope books, also dnf leotas garden- I just could get into it! Everything else is great!!

In my opinion bridge to haven is too similar to redeeming love. Not necessarily the plot, but the purpose of the book I didn’t take anything within the theme away that hadn’t already be done in redeeming love (except maybe what’s all behind the Hollywood industry). I have about 100 pages left of the book and the two main love interests only had a couple scenes together in the same place in the beginning, and then are separated the entire 400 pages in the middle of the book-which is fine if there’s a good chunk or previous book building up to that, in this there is not- (and I get maybe the romance isn’t the main kicker I just was struggling to get the purpose of the book). To me the general themes seem unoriginal (the girl goes off, does a bunch of bad stuff, life declines (also somewhat similar to, but not as well done, Julia from mark of the lion)) and then learns God can redeem and forgive her for it and the love interest doesn’t judge her. Just in my opinion, when it came to the heart behind the story, it seemed to lack originality and impact, vs redeeming love which i thought was done really well, and her mark of the lion series which was phenomenal. Abra, though a little different in her own way, just reminded me a little to much of angel.

I've never read Francine Rivers but have wanted to. But... earlier today I saw where someone said they believed Francine Rivers books, specifically Redeeming Love, are soft core porn 😬😳. What in the world are they referring to? Now I a little nervous to read one.
