REDEEMING LOVE by Francine Rivers

Thank you for providing us the opportunity to publish “REDEEMING LOVE” by Francine Rivers

My name is Anat Brener. For twelve years I have been serving the Lord ministering to people involved in prostitution and drugs near the Old Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv.

For the last six years, our organization, “Chayim Be’Shefa” (Abundant Life), has been operating a day center called “The Red Carpet.” The girls who come to the center are involved in prostitution; they are drug addicts and homeless. They come to receive food, take a shower, treat their hair and nails, get some clean clothes, and sleep. They know of our faith and allow us to pray for them on a regular basis.

A number of years ago I read the book, “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers. This book deeply touched my heart and expressed for me the love of God, which is redeeming, setting free, and unconditional—no matter how deep we fall into sin and suffering in our lives.

The book was recently translated into Hebrew by Maoz. I decided to purchase multiple copies in order to distribute them in the area where we minister. I passed them out to all the humanitarian organizations working with girls in prostitution, distributed them to the girls themselves (those who can read), and to everyone who has a heart to serve and help.

I have been giving out the books in rehabilitation centers, as well, and I believe it will touch hearts, reflecting God’s redeeming and saving love. I have no doubt that God’s love for these girls is the key for them to escape the circle of prostitution and drug abuse.
