The film, “Redeeming Love,” which is based on the best-selling Christian novel of the same name, released today in theaters. Author Francine Rivers says her story demonstrates “the pursuing love that God shows to His people,” but some have voiced concerns about its sexual content, its depiction of God and the gospel, and its portrayal of sexual trauma.
“I want people to see that no matter what’s been done to us or the sins we commit, God loves us and offers us new life through Jesus,” Rivers told the Christian Post ahead of the film’s release.
