i only recently read your book, and echo in the darkness, and i fel in ove with the way you write, that book has helped me overcome some things that is have been dealing with, mainly friends, so please do not stop writing, ever.
Thank you
Francine, Well done, you are my favourite author of all times. I consider Lineage of Grace my best of all your books I have read. Keep up the good work. God bless you. Judith.
I appreciate the fact that you write about REAL struggles that people have. As of now, my husband has been unemployed for a year and I have been unemployed for 6 mos. It's been a very hard and soul-searching time and yet God has provided--friends, provision and resources in different, often unexpected ways. Still, it has been hard on our self-esteem. And with 2 children in college, it has been difficult to predict how we will continue to help them through. I tell you this as I believe you want to know where your readers are at, what they are wrestling with and thank goodness you know that the Lord is in control, and He works all things out for the good of those who love Him. Thanks for your writing!
Thank You for your books and your explanation of how you write ... I am a budding author and have just discovered your books ... how fantastic to find you just when I was asking the Lord for encouragement and inspiration - exactly what you are! Rebecca, New Zealand
Hello , I just want to say THANK you for the Amazing stories you write. I fell in love with As Sure as the Dawn . This was how I was introduced to you. I have lived for the Lord Jesus for almost 8 yrs and I can tell you that I was very moved by the characters in each of your books. I cried , laughed and rejoiced with the different things going on in each of the character's lives. I spend hours reading your books and I just want you to know how very much I Praise Jesus for you in sharing your faith with us. I pray you continue to be filled with God in all you do and that your family be blessed and protected as you continue your walk with The Lord. I may never meet you in person ... but I will look for you when we finally make it home.
Never before have I read a book where the Holy Spirit is actually a character in the story. Well done you! The power of the Holy Spirit throughout your trilogy, Voice in the Wind, is so engaging and influential that one only has to read the books to feel the breath of the Almighty himself as he blows one page past the next, creating a fan club par excellence and keeping us all enthralled.You have indeed been blessed.
I have read several of your stand alone books. The first book I read of yours was "Redeeming Love". By the end of that book I was weeping! I read it a second time a few years later and again wept! It has been quite a while since I read it and I know that I will read it again (weeping at the end again for sure!). My plan is to now read some of your book series. God has blessed my life through your writing!
Your Mark of the Lion series, namely Echo in the Darkness, touched a deeply sensitive place in my heart; I first read it when I just came home from college after experiencing some hard times, and God used your book to help answer some of my own questions about people. The bigest question was "can I have something to do with someone who seems to have gone too far?" Thank you!
Dear francine, your books have been a TREMENDOUS blessing to me and through me,to many others(i've passed them around a lot). People ive never met have read my francine rivers and come to thank me.its only right that i pass on the thanks to you. I just read "her daughters dream"-couldnt find the 1st part. The book means a whole lot to me because i had a really great relationship with my late mum and the book came as i'm preparing to write her biography. Hopefully,you'll help this young writer. Thank you once again and God bless! Elizabeth(Nigeria)
Dear Francine, I've been reading your books for years and years, and have NEVER been dissapointed by anything my eyes have seen between the covers! Last week I downloaded "Redeeming Love" on my smart phone. I purchased it through google books. I carried it around with me for days trying to stop here and there just so I could read a chapter at a time. It was the third time I've read this one...the last time was about 7 or 8 years ago. What struck me this time was how much I was moved (again) by the love and grace you managed to release through the story of persons going through incredibly rough times! I've had some rocky times and have been faced by doubt in my past. "Redeeming Love" is a reminder of who Jesus really is... Redeeming Love! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Keep going! Can't wait to see what is around the corner! Blessings to you, L
