About this listen

Two women, centuries apart, are joined through a tattered journal as they contend with God, husbands, and even themselves...until they fall into the arms of the One who loves them unconditionally.

Sierra Madrid's life has just been turned upside down when she discovers the handcrafted quilt and journal of her ancestor Mary Kathryn McMurray, a young woman who was uprooted from her home only to endure harsh conditions on the Oregon Trail. Though the women are separated by time and circumstance, Sierra discovers that many of the issues they face are remarkably similar. By following Mary Kathryn's example, Sierra learns to surrender to God?s sovereignty and unconditional love.

Francine has yet again outdone herself!!!

I've read this book a dozen times via audible and each time I am humbled by God's love and grace over our lives. We humans sometimes think that we are in control but the truth is God is the one who orchestrates every event that has happened in our lives, both good and bad. He does this to show you who he is and that he is much big than what we think or have conceived in our minds.
This is a great book to read about God, love, faithfulness and mercy.

Weaving threads

What made the experience of listening to The Scarlet Thread the most enjoyable?

Francine Rivers masterfully sets the stage for a story that a describes the lives of too many of us who get caught up in ourselves and our own desires. She weaves through her tale the historical diary of a woman moved against her will and the painful journey to finding peace through Jesus. The parallel stories are intriguing and a pleasure to read.

Great read!

I've read both the paperback and the audio of this book. Both experiences were awesome. This book touched all of my emotions from happiness to anger to sorrow. Francine reminds us of God's sovereignty and loving plan for our lives.

always something that hits home!

confessions of a book binger....
I get started and cant stop till I'm done. Audible is perfect for these binges.

Francine Rivers, along with the Lord Jesus, always have something for me in her books. This was a raw and painful book, mostly due to the harshness of the historical story content. But it served its purpose in prompting self reflection.

I love this author

All books I have read so far by her are amazing. I absolutely adore her and her messages. I am dealing with a marriage separation as we speak and this is absolutely inspiring and beautiful.
