The Scarlet Thread Audiobook

" I appreciated and learned from the topics of Forgiveness and Control that were explored in this book. "

" One of my favorites! Have read more than once. "

" I read this book a long time ago and just added it to my "shelve". I rarely read books more than once but this is one I would like to go back to. I remember loving it, maybe not the most interesting read but it definitely struck a chord with me and I look forward to reading it again. "

" Fun to read on vacation "

" not my favorite of hers, but still good. : ) "

" I like Francine Rivers' books. She has a way of making characters seem real and making stories that are mostly about everyday life seem interesting. In this book, I wish she had made the connection between Sierra and Mary Kathryn stronger rather than seeming like 2 different and almost unconnected stories, except for the beginning and end of the book. Otherwise, this was a good story that shows how easily marriages can fail and how God is able to redeem them. "

" This was a hard read because the characters were so frustrating and stubborn. Sure made me think tho! I like the duality of the two storylines. "

" A little slow at times. Characters weren't developed as well as I would have liked. Enjoyed the journal from the Oregon trail days. "

" I read this book a while ago, but it is one of my favortes. The link between the past and the persent made this a story I could not put down. Just seeing it here makes me want to find it and read it again. "

" This was a great book! It makes you feel good about life. It can be sappy in parts but not overly so. The characters really reeled me in and made me want to find out more. I highly recommend it. "

" She is an amazing author "

" Brilliant book of two stories in two different generations of finding God as more than a religion but a personal relationship and as a form of strength. "

" i just finished this book. Helps you to be a better wife! "

" Great story, wonderful themes on conviction and forgiveness. Francine Rivers never disappoints and this book does an amazing job intertwining two generations, two women and their personal journey through change. "

" Take 2 selfish people in marriage, and see how the problems mount up. Only by renouncing our selfishness, and turning to God, can we change things. "

" I loved the story, but it dragged on too long. Perfect read for couples that are struggling in their marriage or those that want to read something that can be gained from the story. "

" Wonderful book. Love Francine Rivers! "

" a book club book that I had not read till now. very good, really enjoyed. "

" Other people have gone through similar trials. "

" I enjoyed this story and felt like it gave an authentic picture of how marriages can sometimes go off course. Sierra and Alex both focused on the wrong things. I thought the story flowed well and I did not think it was too preachy. I have read this book several times and I always enjoy rereading it. "

" I couldn't connect with the main character, and thus the book iteslf "

" A very good time travel with a Christian woman's struggle . . . even without the Christian subplot - this story stands on it's on plot. One of my favorite Time Travels. "

" This story in this book shows the power of forgiveness and letting Christ work in our lives. Even though it is a work of fiction, there are many truths within. "

" One of my favorite books "

" This was a good christian fiction love story involving a married couple, who lost each other and found each other again. I really enjoyed it. "

" I'm never disappointed by Francine Rivers. "

" Two women, 150 years apart, go through trials which ultimately turn their hearts to God. Some parts were difficult to read but I enjoyed watching both women eventually recognize His hand in their lives and appreciate how they had grown through their challenges. And I loved the references to Oregon! "

" I would read it again and still learn something new! "

" This is probably my favorite of all her books, though I love them all differently. "

" Francine Rivers is one of my favorite writers of all time. I loved that the book went back and forth in time from present day to the 1800's. "

" It's a tear jerker. The story of two women going through hard times, one modern day woman in California reading the diary of her ancestor's trip across the country to California. Wonderful. "

" Not as good as other books by Francine Rivers I've read. There were some disparaging remarks about the Catholic faith that I wasn't too fond of. And I thought the ending got really preachy. But true to form, Rivers sucked me in from the first page. The writing and story-telling was excellent. "

" This is a really, really well done dual-time historical/contemporary novel. "
