The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers Book Summary

A New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller

“This character-driven romance will enthrall [Rivers’s] many fans.” —Library Journal

The New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale that reminds us that mercy can shape even the most broken among us into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece.

A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want—money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman’s past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn’t know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist—an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

Like Roman, Grace is wrestling with ghosts and secrets of her own. After a disastrous marriage threw her life completely off course, she vowed never to let love steal her dreams again. But as she gets to know the enigmatic man behind the reputation, it’s as if the jagged pieces of both of their pasts slowly begin to fit together . . . until something so unexpected happens that it changes the course of their relationship—and both their lives—forever.

“Rivers deftly threads Roman’s and Grace’s lives together as they tiptoe around their emotional scars, eventually shifting into a dance of tentative steps toward a love neither can resist. Fans of Christian romance will delight in this tale of salvation through love.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Richly detailed characters with traumatic pasts are woven together with biblical truths and redemptive themes. . . . This is an amazing, beautifully written tale to be savored and pondered and shared with others.”
—Romantic Times

“Readers will marvel at Rivers’s storytelling arc encompassing the reconciliation of gritty past misdeeds and the work in progress of a life of forgiveness.”
—Booklist

“Fans of Francine Rivers will eagerly devour The Masterpiece and find exactly what they are looking for: a beautifully written story of faith, romance, and the power that true freedom can bring.”
—Bookreporter

The Best book you will ever read!. If you can't find a good book, this is the one to choose. Most times the beginning of a story is sometimes hard to get into but I promise you after you start you wont regret it.. Rivers did and excellent job of building the mysterious Roman Velasco and his story together. Amazing storyline and mysteries unfold that you never seen coming, in fact when you checkout the backstory and how this book came to be, it's so mind blowing how it connected with this book. And the details and other characters' stories and how they come together makes the story even more intriguing. Worth every penny, and has such a good way of displaying a relationship and realistic conversation between us and the Lord. You might even get saved from reading this.. Highly recommend, this book. Best one i've ever read and also good for those who like modern stories. Excellent!

One of Her Best Yet!. I am a huge Francine Rivers fan, but this is truly one of her best yet. This is an incredible story that reminds us how God weaves a beautiful tapestry out of every thread of our lives. A must read!

Amazing!. Wish I could read it for the first time again!

Not Rivers at her best. Sorry, but this story seems way too contrived. More like a Harlequin romance churned out for the money than the rich, informative, fascinating work we have seen Rivers do In past novels.

Amazing!. This book is the best book I’ve read since Redeeming Love. I couldn’t put it down. Francine Rivers is my favorite author!

The Masterpiece. I have read all of her books and have throughly enjoyed them. But The Masterpiece was one that scripturally was way off with one of the characters going to hell and back. This was a disappointment even though I know this book is fiction.

The Masterpiece. I couldn’t put this book down. I’m a Christian and so many thoughts went through my mind with each and every character. I even saw myself a time or two. Every book Francine writes is excellent in my opinion. I’m one of her biggest fans. It’s all about Jesus Christ even when you cannot see Him. I hope everyone reads this book, because it shows us how to keep Jesus first in everything, trusting Him when you pray to Him. God bless everyone who reads this book. 🙏

Page turner. I am not a big reader but Francine Rivers has done it again. I finished this book in two days. Please publish more books because I don’t think I can wait.

Absolutely Amazing. I loved this book. I thought the characters were well put together. I was rooting for Grace & Roman the whole time. It also changed my perspective on a couple things. God is truly amazing!!

Extraordinary. The gift of this book is a story woven with brokenness and beauty, with Love that transforms and redeems, all the while capturing our hearts and minds.

Amazing!!!. Such an amazing read.

Breathtaking. Breathtaking and refreshing. No words to describe the redemption of this story.

Masterpiece is a MASTERPIECE!. I love Francine Rivers books — I was originally introduced to her as an author through The Mark of the Lion series (still in my top 5 favorites)! I believe I’ve read everything she has written as a Christian writer. I started this book late last night and finished it today — I could barely put it down! No matter where you are on your Christian/faith walk you will get something out of everyone of her books. She introduces you to relatable, flawed — seemingly real life people and reminds you — that no matter where are it’s never to late to turn your life over and/or back to God. For by grace you have been saved by faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are his workmanship/masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk with hm. — Ephesians 2:8-10 Never think you are too far gone — or that God cannot save you. It’s never too late — even if/when you have to turn your life over to Him each morning — he gives us free will — we have a choice. Do yourself a favor and read this book — or read all of them. My top 5 in alpha order: The Atonement Child Leota’s Garden The Mark of The Lion Series Marta’s Legacy Series Masterpiece

Another “masterpiece” by Francine Rivers. I am OBSESSED with Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. When she released this book, I bought it and decided to give another one of her novels a try. I couldn’t put it down! The story is compelling and she does an excellent job of developing the characters. I was hooked on finding out how the story would end for Roman and Grace. She did a wonderful job of hitting real world topics and obstacles that Christians face today. There were times I felt that the writing was kinda cheesy though, and this is why I decided to give it 4 stars. Overall, I recommend this boom if you’re looking for an uplifting story that has some thought provoking messages in it! We are all a Masterpiece of God no matter our background or where we come from ❤️

The Masterpiece. Until I read The Masterpiece I would reread Redeeming Love every year or so. Since I read The Masterpiece, I can’t stop rereading it. While my story is not as interesting I am beginning to think maybe it is worth telling. I love The Masterpiece and will recommend it to everyone. Thanks Francine Rivers. When is the next one going to be on line?

Amazing!. This is another Rivers book that I couldn’t put down. Redeeming Love is my favorite, but this one is not far behind it!!

Great read. I was encouraged to read this after finishing “Redeeming Love” and it did not disappoint! It is very lengthy, but every detail matters and I enjoyed every minute of it. A perfect representation of God’s love for us.

The Masterpiece. Loved this book,

NOT Redeeming Love, but a nice one.. Good book :) not as good as redeeming love but an overall good story

The Masterpiece. One of the best books by Francine! Such an amazing story of love, being transformed into a new creation, & second chances.

Two broken people made whole through Christ!. The story of two broken people, Roman & Grace is a similar story to many of God’s people. Francine truly brings a hope and allows the reader to feel empathy for the life Roman was exposed to. Grace who strives to be obedient but is taken over at times by temptation is definitely relatable. We simply are not perfect people. With our love for Christ, our striving to hear from and being obedient to the Holy Spirit; He can begin to change us from the inside out (no matter where God pulled us out from). I absolutely love Grace’s friends and how Francis portrays them as imperfect people just trying to get through life with Christ. If you are just a sinner saved by God’s grace you will enjoy this read, and when you are finished you will have a renewed hope!

Another great book.. I have been a fan of Francine Rivers for years. Redeeming Love has been my favorite book since I was a teenage. Masterpiece is a lovely story of forgiveness, and the struggle of finding acceptance within yourself. Life has a way getting messy and especially if you have a less than perfect childhood. All those hurts get carried into your adult life. It appears one is Trying to navigate through life with a broken compass and disillusionment about what true happiness actually is. Once both protagonists find their worth in Jesus. The Master-craftsman can truly create his masterpiece in them. Ephesians 2:10

Great storytelling. Such a good novel! Francine does a wonderful job of describing the main characters and their backstory as well as the journey they are currently on. Wonderfully written and as a Christian you can relate to the characters so much and easily get what the author is trying to get relate - that Jesus it’s all through Jesus and because of Jesus!

Timely. Reading this book was timely for me. I saw myself in the character of Grace and sometimes Roman. I felt Francine’s ability to capture the essence of a longing to be loved by someone was incredible and how it was the Fathers love that ultimately what the both needed and what I so desperately needed. It was timely because I needed to really see the struggle they went through to see that it was exactly my struggle. Loved it and will be able to transfer my hope to Jesus instead of a person. So thankful to you for your gift of writing.

Read it twice!. This book is so good, I’ve read it twice. It’s been A couple of years in between, and it was like watching my favorite movie all over again. I’ve come to expect nothing but riveting page turners from Francine rivers that make me love God more. I recommend this book to all of my friends and family.

Masterpiece. This is indeed a Masterpiece. It released so much hope and relatable to the current time. I absolutely love Francine’s writing. Already waiting for the next....

The Masterpiece. Amazing story of redemption and patience or God’s perfect timing. Kept my interest and brought about life reflection. Mrs. Huitger

Amazing read. Highly recommend. You can definitely feel Gods anointing in this book.

A masterpiece. Love it,love it love it.Francine Rivers takes me to higher and higher levels with my faith.

Amazing. Didn’t want to put it down.

I am changed...again.. Beautiful, relevant and an incredible portrait of the protecting, guiding, transforming love of Jesus Christ. “The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 PETER‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭AMP‬‬ “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].” ‭‭JOHN‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Everything’s going perfect until.... SPOILER ALERT!!! I’ve noticed in Rivers books that she keeps the reader in very long periods of climax and towards the end usually the last chapters and epilogue becomes extremely underwhelming and weak. We all wanted Roman to grab Grace and kiss her and for them to have a dramatic and intense reunion. I also understand it wasn’t about the physical part, but seriously, they’re chemistry was much more better and intense when they hadn’t even touched hands. It’s not the first time the ending becomes a disappointment and is weak.

Faith More Ideal. This book is an enjoyable and interesting read that looks at how God can change broken lives. The plot with its series of events and encounters is too staged to be realistic, but that’s all right—it’s fiction after all. A unique literary approach is that there are two main characters. We get to listen in on what both Grace and Roman are thinking. A disappointing aspect for me is that Grace insists that believing in God is only about faith, but then we find out that she had a face-to-face encounter with a divine being early in life. Likewise, Roman needs to face—in fact, be attacked—by the supernatural before he believes. Jesus told Thomas that more blessed are those who don’t see and yet believe. We can have faith that God is working in our lives even if there’s nothing to see with human eyes. Through God’s Word and in prayer we can have confidence in Him.
