[Story]
(I don't want to give much away, and I won't be typing the actual text from the book here. Please go buy the book if you like this video, 'cause the book is ten million times better!)
Chapter 28 pages 366-369
Angel asks Michael to take her to the Hill he first showed her the Sunrise on, and despite the bitter cold, Michael agrees. Once they get there, Angel runs to the crest of the hill, and spins amongst the starlight, "It's beautiful, isn't it? The vastness of it all. I'm utterly insignificant."
"Not to me," Michael says.
"Yes," She smiles sadly, "Even to you." Michael frowns, but before he can say anything else, Angel turns away and shouts to the heavens, "There shall be no other gods before me. None but you, my lord."
He asks if she is mocking his beliefs, and she denies it. She could never hurt him so, not anymore.
"Do you remember reading to me of the Shulammite bride dancing for her husband?" she whispers and he watches, breath-taken, as she dances for him. It strikes him then that this is her good-bye to him.
"Why are you doing this?" he exclaimed as he caught hold of her. "For you," She said, and kissed him.
Michael asks God why he asked him to take in this woman, to love this woman, only to loose her. "God, why are you doing this to me again? Do you give only to take away?"
"Let her go, Beloved," God whispers.
"God, no! Don't ask it of me!" Michael prayed.
"Give her to me."
"No!" Michael screamed within himself.
Michael holds Angel tighter to him, but listens to God whisper within his heart all the same.
"I love her, Lord. I can't give her up," Michael says, and the lord responds, "Would you have her hang on her cross forever?"
"Lord, if I give her up to you now, will you ever give her back to me?" Michael asks, and God doesn't answer.
[Summary of Redeeming Love]
Its based off of the book of Hosea from the Bible. Basically, Michael Hosea sees a beautiful young prostitute walking the streets of 1850's California. God tells Michael to take Angel away from the little town of Pair-A-Dice, and that's what Michael does. Every night he goes to visit her to the Brothel, but only to talk (despite what his mortal flesh aches for him to do) but even after he wins the battle, Angel is still fighting a gruesome war within herself and finally has to answer the question she's been ignoring from birth.
Can she be more than a prostitute? Can she be a woman justly loved? Can she be a child of God?
Guys, it's totally worth the read, the writing is gorgeous!
