The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady

Written by Sharon Mondragon

Narrated by Christina Moore

Margaret, Rose, Jane, and Fran had a good thing going: meet every week in the dusty quiet of their peaceful chapel and knit prayer shawls. No muss, just ministry. That is, until their pastor boots them out of the church in his last-ditch effort to revive the dwindling congregation.

Uptight Margaret isn’t having it. Knitting prayer shawls at the mall where people can watch is the most ridiculous idea she’s ever heard of, and she’s heard plenty. Prayer belongs in the church, not out in the public eye. How are they supposed to knit holiness into these shawls if they’re constantly distracted by people?

But given no choice, the other ladies embrace the challenge. They pack their knitting bags and drag along Margaret, grumbling the whole way. She can’t wait to prove them all wrong when this crazy plan fails miserably, and show the pastor that she knows best.

Without the familiar pattern the group has been stuck in, their own losses, pain, and struggles rise to the surface. And the people and situations they encounter every time they try to simply sit and knit take them further out of their comfort zone than they ever imagined. Can they find the courage to tackle the increasing
number of knotty issues they learn about in their community—or will the tangle be too much?

In a nutshell, a book all about knitting, praying, and falling in line with God's will to become more like Jesus. What could be better?! ?

Loved the book, the stories of the four ladies. Inspiring how little things make a big difference. Love is the key.

I really enjoyed this book about a church knitting group called “The Heavenly Hugs Prayer Shawl Ministry.” It was well written and narrated. The story was compelling and as an avid knitter, it was fun to listen to the projects being discussed, made and designed by the participants. The story shows how God can change the hardest hearts of the young as well as older individuals and that it’s okay to do something out of our comfort zone. As Psalm 139:13 says: He knits us together in our mother’s womb. (I’m hoping there is yarn in heaven! LOL) Good book! Well done.

The characters in this book are so real with strengths and flaws. It was wonderful to read about how God worked in the lives of each of the knitting ladies.

It was a sweet story of a group of ladies who got out of there comfort zone and watched how God could use them. It’s a good fun read
