| Summary |
"The Heavenly Hugs prayer Shawl Ministry meets every Wednesday morning, to pray and knit their shawls. These four ladies are serious about their ministry, knitting prayer shawls that are earmarked for anyone who needs comfort and prayers. They meet in the quiet and peaceful chapel, that is, they did until a volunteer offered to fix the cracks in the walls and paint the chapel.

Every Wednesday, four women (Heavenly Hugs Prayer Shawl Ministry) meet in the Prayer Chapel of Hope of Glory Community Church to knit prayer shawls. One day, Father Pete tells them that for next month they will be unable to use the Prayer Chapel because it is being painted. He suggests that the group meet in a public place. This throws the groups unofficial leader, Margaret Benson into a tizzy. This just might be what each woman and others in the community need. I enjoyed reading this sweet story. It shows us that you never know what God might have in store for you. The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady is a charming story that really resonated with me. I enjoyed how this group of women helped others by knitting and praying. I thought the book was well-written with steady pacing. The characters are developed and realistic. I loved Father Pete with his ideas, his enthusiasm, and clever t-shirts. I liked that we get to see what happens when we relinquish control and let God be in charge. There is a prayer shawl pattern at the end of the story along with information on prayer shawl ministries. The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady is a special tale that is emotional, encouraging, and uplifting"-- Provided by publisher. |
