Book Review: The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers

 


The Masterpiece - Francine Rivers - 5 Stars - A beautiful, emotional, real story of 2 characters who experience true healing through Jesus.

WOW, Francine never disappoints ya'll. I knew this would be 5 stars but didn't realize just how beautiful it would be. This story will continue to stick with me for a long time. I annotated my book copy with so many beautiful quotes. This book deals with themes of brokenness, redemption and the healing power of Jesus' love for us. He never stops pursuing us and we see that firsthand in this book. This book will tug at your heart strings as we read all about the lives of Grace Moore and Roman Velasco. Each have their own traumatic past they have been through. Grace is a believer in Jesus but Roman is not. We see how the Lord truly pursues Roman throughout the story and how Grace is the one to lead him to Him.

In this story we see Grace go to work as Roman's assistant - he is a very rich artist and Grace is struggling to provide for her son as a single mother. This job is everything Grace needs but as she gets to know Roman, feelings start to form and we see their relationship grow as friends to more. In addition to romance, this book explored forgiveness, redemption and our characters search for purpose in this world. The integration of faith in this is interweaved so beautifully. Both of our characters are burdened by their past mistakes but we see such an amazing journey to Jesus' forgiveness for them both here. I loved how the characters put JESUS first in this book. It was refreshing to see!

If you are looking for a story that will touch your heart and soul, this is it!
