Why I wrote The Red Thread

This book is written for those who struggle to be at peace with who they are. This was my story. For so long I doubted myself; I compared myself to others and in any given situation, I felt like I was either too much or not enough.

Jesus says that He came to give us life in abundance, and these words intrigued me. Could it be that I was missing something? What were the keys to living a full life as promised by God?

Through the process of adopting a little girl from China, I came to the realisation that I was not living as God’s beloved daughter, but as a spiritual orphan. This life changing revelation kick-started the process of transformation.

The Red Thread is my attempt to record the journey and the truths discovered en-route to healing and freedom, so that you, too, may walk into wholeness, knowing that the goal is possible. God has done it for me, He can do it for you!

Praise for The Red Thread

“Here’s a very honest book about how we can be freed from the crippling emotions of defeat, disappointment and dispair. Lucinda’s story turns the reader’s attention to Jesus and how being in relationship with Him will bring hope forgiveness, peace and adoption into his family. The powerful chapter on the devil is certainly one which Satan would not want us to read!”
Rt Rev Julian Henderson, Bishop of Blackburn

“The Red Thread goes straight for the heart and the reader can’t run away from the reality that God is our Father and He is building a family of sons and daughters. Lucinda is a guide not just a writer, pulling all of her words from experience that she has lived. It’s the Lucindas of this world that move the bride closer to the bridegroom.”
Jonathan Horsfall - Pastor, Life Church Bath.

Mike Raiter – Director, Centre for Biblical Teaching, Melbourne, Australia
