Encouraging to me who started writing Christian romance in my forties for the glory of God. 😊

[@MercyMburuNyakio]

"Writing is really a way for me to draw closer to God. It's kind of a form of worship for me." Francine, you give me so much life with not only the way you write but how you speak as well. Prosper abundantly.

Enjoyed the interview. . .🍂

Canon J. John asks fantastic questions and Francine stirs me to be more 'relaxed' in God. I identify with her love for writing and she puts things so plainly and there's something about that 3am ... I tend to wake up around that time but I need to be consistent in my fellowship. She makes it look so easy. Love this interview.

This testimony/ interview is just what I imagined Francine to be in real life. I have read all her books except Shoe Box and they are always life changing pointing to God's unfailing love and His son Yeshua. God bless Francine and give her many more books.

[@manufabydumbrava]

Awesome interview! Francine is so kind and down to earth, she's the real thing! Totally what a Christian writer should be about.:) Praise the Lord for the way He's been using her to reach the masses with the Gospel message.

[@Christian_Gamez]

Such an amazing talent! Thank you Francine for allowing God to use you in such a powerful way. Your books have touched my life and many whom I've shared your books with. I keep buying them and giving them away

[@NginaGrace]

There is so much serene peace with her. She just awes God. Amazing!

[@alfredondie4424]

Don't know how old the interview is, yet it so wonderful. Just realised that I have read almost all mam Francine's books. Got to start from the beginning again. When I started the journey of discovering the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, he lion series carbon so handy. I can never thank God enough, he holds us close and leads us to the pathes of righteousness for his name sake.

[@dami9037]

Loved this interview! You can tell He didn’t want it to end with all the questions towards the end, hahah

[@LookingGlass24]

This is what I call a 3-D interview where we could appreciate the interviewee from different optic angles. Lovely, just lovely.

[@JN-go2yq]

Wow great interview. Great interview skills too. Must read one of her books.

[@jasminandmuna]

She is such a blessing ❤❤❤

[@19jacinta88]

My favourite Francine Rivers book is undoubtedly "And the shofar blew". I even use it during my devotional, and it's a novel! It's just so good.

[@maureenmuggleton5145]

A truly anointed book ❤

[@Delacruzcompania]

This guy reminds me to Mr Bean, very serious but very funny. I like this interview. I am so happy to know more about a woman who writes very good books.

[@terrygodgirl4430]

Through one book, you have become my favorite reader

[@annjones3030]

Her books the way she writes them bring to life the principles of God and his redeeming love & that love is so alive in the book. I read it years ago. I have it all on my shelf still. I have read many of her books. God can use anything to bring others to himself that is fine desire that this movie will do the same. Some May not want to see the movies because of personal reasons.. but I pray but those who do, will walk away with worship to Father God and their heart and bring many to the realization of how much Jesus loves us. I remember, still remember many years ago over 50 years ago seeing a movie of one of the Christians facing lions in the day of Rome. There was a girl that stretch their arms out like a cross across they wooden gates. I was not a believer. The movie I don't recall the name. It was probably not a Christian movie... but God brought it to my mind many times until in 1970, Jesus Christ said come to me and I came. God can use anything because he does not want anyone to perish. He gifted Francine Rivers with this tool for His glory & she gives Him the glory..her heart is for Jesus

[@KtVasq07]

She always makes me want to go to my Bible...

[@barbaradixon996]

Excellent read!

[@MercyMburuNyakio]

If you want to reach the young people, you have to reach them where they are... Masada Christian, where we go inside of a building and we lock the doors and we lock the windows (because) we don't want to be influenced by the world - we need to be outside of the church influencing the world and it's not always easy to get people outside of the church to do that.

Love grew Where The Blood Fell 🩸✝️🩸

[@sarahvigue]

So good

[@catblack4091]

Love this!

[@deniesekline-thatcher8380]

Perhaps 🤔 God is attempting to teach us/the world we each are the temple of the Lord and the family is to be the congregation ⛪️ structure. Is there anything unscriptural in doing that daily rather than gathering at a community building once or twice a week from the home & family can we not reach out to The world around us in Christ Jesus and Thru The Holy Spirit etc.

[@robertramsay5963]

I don't understand the "God is saving you from himself"??? What are you saying? Do you think God destroys or does sin destroy? According to the Bible sin brings death, not God. Scary to think of God as the destroyer. I hope I misunderstood.

[@GrayPulse]

What confession does Francine have? Baptist, isn't it?
