Two thumbs up, as always for her books. Excellent book about love, forgiveness and the place Christ has in our lives.

:thumbup: I have read this one too, it was great. The only book so far that I really haven't been able to get into of hers is The Last Sin Eater. It was really hard to keep going.

Oh, yes, The Scarlet Thread is a good book! I own a copy of it and have read it several times. :clap:

One more voice chiming in to say "excellent book!"

The Mark of the Lion series is my favorite of hers, though!!!

I love her stuff, especially Lineage of Grace. But I did NOT like the one about Hosea and Gomer. What is the name of that book :gaah: I'm losing my mind. Was it Redeeming Love?

Seriously? Redeeming Love is my favorite book ever - other than the Bible, it's #2. It's the only fiction book I've ever read that I would call life-changing. Not meaning to make a big deal about it - but I think you're the first person I ever heard of that said they *really* didn't like it.

I enjoyed it, but I do have to say that I could understand why someone wouldn't. It's quite graphic, and deals with a very hard topic to read about/discuss.

My SIL said the same thing about The last sin eater. But I loved it. Of course it might help that 1. we recently had a vacation to smokey mountain national park, 2. I read it mostly while breastfeeding in the middle of the night, lots of concentrationa and just the right "creepy" feel for the mystery of the book. :lol:
