The Scarlet Thread

God’s great story of salvation, told through His covenants and the stories of the ordinary men and women He used to weave the scarlet thread of salvation is not complete. The conclusion of His tapestry of life will come when Jesus Christ returns and establishes His kingdom on earth.


The people God selected to illustrate His mercy were not perfect, as we are not perfect, giving us hope that God uses every person who believes Him to convey His message of grace and mercy to a dying world. The stories portrayed in this book show us that God’s plan, formulated before the foundation of the earth, is still progressing through us. Faith is the only qualification for being part of His story. This book narrates the accounts of imperfect men and women of faith in the hope that those who read it will someday see themselves in His finished work.
