China Tapestry: Bindings of the Heart/A Length of Silk/The Golden Cord/The Crimson Brocade

by Tracey Victoria Bateman, Judith McCoy Miller, Tracey Bateman

Woven through all things are vibrant threads of love - the love of God to His creation, the love of a parent to a child, the love of a man to a woman. Experience that love, enriching the fabric of life, against the backdrop of vivid Chinese culture. Feel the trepidation of Hanshi, as she awaits an arranged marriage. Will A Length of Silk help show her the plan God has to reward her faithfulness? Journey with Qui Jin to a new land full of hidden dangers. Can her cherished memories - and The Golden Cord - lead her to arms of love? Wait with Shiren for God's will to unfold - even as difficult relatives and war with Japan threaten her dreams. Will The Crimson Brocade ever be worn for a wedding? Explore Chinese heritage with Lisa, and learn God's lessons in charitable love. As the Bindings of the Heart constrict, will she find freedom to allow herself to love?

Reviews

[Bonnie F. · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have had this book on my shelf for years. It came in a grab box purchase from a Christian book seller and I avoided it simply due to the unimpressive cover art. I was greatly surprised at how much I enjoyed 3/4 of the novellas included into he book. The fourth one just didn’t do it for me and seemed out of step with the others, although all were based on the Asian culture. Despite this, I’m glad I finally finished it! An easy read and short stories were easy to get into.

Not bad

Four merely mediocre romance stories that at least partially take place in China. While fans of Christian romance can do much worse, they could also do much better.
