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.

A very enjoyable story that I didn’t want to end.
I really enjoyed the narration of the main story as well as the voice of Mary-Katherine.
The Scarlet Thread very cleverly wove together the story of the main character and the story of one of her ancestors. This is a story of love and loss. Surrender and redemption.

I have never read a book by Francine Rivers that has not touched my heart and changed me on the inside. Scarlet Thread is another with so many messages drawing me closer to my Heavenly Father. Thank you again Francine.

This is such a great story of people dealing with life and at the end they find the comfort in God. And they discover that He had always been in their life. And He is so patient. It is very joyful to read the 2 stories side by side. Great listening.

How a bible story can be put together as it is in real life. Hard to put down. Every chapter keeps you wanting to known more.
I highly recommend this story. If you don’t know Jesus you will when you read this story and how it relates.
