The Tapestry of Grace delivers a strong five-star rating! I highly recommend this book to everyone! Yes, everyone! The masterful and unique German-Russian Mennonite community story set in the mid-1890s weaves principles of love, forgiveness, communication, acceptance, and spiritual and emotional panoramas of walking daily with Jesus.
The author’s passion for creating stories with rich, lovable, yet completely flawed characters, and satisfying plot comes through excellently in The Tapestry of Grace. The needs of the characters are met in several ways: (1) by having a relationship with Jesus, (2) answered prayers, and (3) by the fruit of obedience.
From the beautiful cover to the introductions of the charming characters to the interwoven storylines, this novel is a spiritually uplifting and emotionally engaging masterpiece with a beautiful, heart-captivating twist near the end.
I so greatly appreciate how Scriptural references are interlaced with explanations, and how the Gospel is presented in a beautiful and succinct sentence. There is nothing missing from this inspiring, God-honoring historical fiction work of art.
Life can be difficult, heartbreaking, and complicated. Loving God, obeying Him, and focusing on His will can eliminate chaos as He saturates our lives with peace, contentment, and blessings. The Tapestry of Grace is the perfect title for this book!
Surrendering all to God, loving Jesus, and obeying Him are the first steps in seeing beauty in ashes, contentment, and peace that passes all understanding.
The Tapestry of Grace inspires me to continually lean on God, moment-by-moment communicate with Him, and strive to obey Him as I serve Him and others with my whole heart.
