Worth the read, but slightly flawed

The Scarlet Thread takes difficult issues for the Christian community (divorce and adultery) and shows the personal side of it. Sierra's transformation from a dependent wife to an independent woman, all while trying to hold on to her faith, gives inspiration to those faced with a world falling apart. I enjoyed the story within the story, and often wished for more from the frontier. The ending was disappointing in the sense that everything seemed to be reconciled in a very quick few pages. I felt Rivers could have taken out some of the middle of the book, which was slow at times, and put more into the ending. Overall, a good read.

Sucked me right in...

Wow is really all I can say after staying up ALL night to finish the last 300 pages of this book. ;-) At first, the book upset me and I had no idea why she was writing about this and how she would make it better in a way that would be Christian in my mind. At one point, I wanted to yell at all the adult characters in the book. I told myself that I kept reading it just so that I would know why. Well, I will be reading this book again in a few months because I like it so well. It wasn't about the sin of one, but the sins of many. It opened my eyes to how easy at times it is to sin and showed me many of the justifications that I use when I am angry. I had my "Ah Ha" God moment a few months ago and this book made me so happy that I turned back toward God. I cried for 30 minutes after finishing the book from sheer joy. I cannot remember that ever happening to me. Is this a book for everyone? I don't think so. If you see yourself too much in these characters, you may not be ready to appreciate the mirro being held up to your soul. I praise God that I had the oppertunity to read this book. It drives hard lessons home without being preachy. I would highly reccomend it.

Nice To See Real Life Struggles

This book was an excellent example of the struggles many modern Christian women face. The ties that bind the present and the past were wonderful and thought provoking.

Surprised...

A friend from work brought me this book while I was in the hospital. I was home for about 8 weeks. I picked this book up and read the first page. I could not put it down. I really enjoyed the story. I read the book in a few days. I also like the comparison between the current character and the character in the 1800s. This is only my 2nd Christian Fiction Book. I really enjoyed it, and I would recommend it to others. I think most people can relate to the characters in the book (one way or another). I went to the book store and bought another book by Francine Rivers...it was just as good.

Wonderful!!!

This book is more than wonderful!!! I wish i could rate it more than 5 stars. I sell xtian books to friends and colleagues, and Atonement Child was the first Francine Rivers' book i ever read, and i have been hooked since then. The book did more than minister to me, but as an engaged lady, it opened my eyes to the reality of marriage - forgiveness and love. After reading any of this woman's books, i just wonder how she has allowed herself to be used as an instrument by God - what more can one ask for? God bless you
