There is a thread woven through every page of Scripture, a scarlet thread written by the hand of God Himself.
It begins in a garden and leads to a cross. It ends with the promise of a new heaven and a new earth. Every story in the Bible is tied to this one story: redemption.
But redemption is not only found in Scripture. It unfolds in our lives as well.
As a child, I once noticed a boy watching the world from an upstairs window. He rarely left the room, so I began leaving notes and waving to him from outside. Our friendship was quiet; pebbles tapping on the glass, small messages, and silent smiles through the window.
His name was Joe.
One day an ambulance came, and the window was empty.
That quiet friendship stayed with me. Through it, I began to understand how God weaves grace into ordinary moments and how even brief encounters can shape our hearts in lasting ways.
The Scarlet Thread of Redemption traces God’s story of hope throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, and invites you to discover how He is still weaving redemption into your story today.

Krista Stevenson holds a doctorate in counseling and organizational leadership. She was born and raised in the small coastal town of Laurel, along the white-sand shores of the Gulf of America—a place where the sunsets stretched wide across the sky, dolphins played from morning to night, and the richness of creation made even the leanest times feel full.

This a faith-based blend of memoir, Bible teaching, and devotional guide that shows how God’s redemptive plan connects scripture, personal suffering, and everyday life.
