Francine Rivers


(Francine Sandra Rivers)
USA flag (b.1947)

Francine Rivers has enjoyed a successful writing career for more than twenty-five years. Early achievements in the secular market translated into award-winning and best-selling works upon her conversion to Christ in 1986. REDEEMING LOVE, her Francine effort for the Christian market, was a best-selling title that garnered several awards and was a finalist for the Romance Writers of America's Choice Award.
Francine and her husband Rick live in Northern California and enjoy the time spent with their three grown children and every opportunity to spoil their five grandchildren.  She uses her writing to draw closer to the Lord, and that through her work she might worship and praise Jesus for all He has done and is doing in her life.

A Million Little Choices (2023)
Tamera Alexander
"I couldn't put the book down. It was that good! Tamera Alexander does a masterful job at showing a marriage on the brink, and that what we do in our minds and hearts matters - not just what we do with our bodies. A Million Little Choices is a wonderfully rich story woven through with love, humor, and spiritual insights that simply will not let you stop reading!"

Something Worth Doing (2020)
Jane Kirkpatrick
"I have long admired Jane Kirkpatrick's rich historical fiction, and Something Worth Doing is well worth reading! Oregonian Abigail Duniway is a vibrant, fiercely passionate, and determined activist who fought for women's suffrage. Women of today have cause to respect and admire her--as well as the loving, patient, and supportive husband who encouraged her to continue 'the silent hunt.'"
