Both books are beautifully written and thought provoking.
Beautifully written.
Thought provoking. I love Francine Rivers. I questioned the first part of THE LAST SIN EATER and then it gradually began to make sense. So stick with it and you will understand the purpose and the calling from God.
Francine Rivers never fails to inspire!
Unique story
Francine Rivers is one of my all time favorite authoress’. The Scarlet Thread a sweet, reminiscent story altering between two generations. I loved moving from wagon train days to the present in tying two young women together with similar circumstances/difficulties of life via a quilt and a diary (I think it was, if I remember correctly—-I read it many years ago.)
Francine Rivers is one of my favorite authors!! Both books are wonderful!!
Always enjoy her books
