Join Janice (@godhasnotgiven), Melanie (@climbholamel) and Stephen (@stephengarton) as they delve into chapters 4 thru 6 of Francine Rivers’ questionable “romance” novel 'Redeeming Love.' Set in 1850s California, this episode covers Angel, an 18-year-old prostitute, and an odd marriage proposal from a farmer named Michael Hosea. Discussions also cover the book's problematic elements, including issues around consent, purity culture, and the unrealistic and non-progressive portrayal of characters. Despite the heavy and often outrageous content, the hosts provide detailed analysis and humorous commentary.
