The Crimson Cord Louis Green

Although this is Louis Green?s first novel, his unique speaking style has captivated audiences since the mid 1960?s. Now the masterful preacher presents the Parable of the Prodigal in such a way that each chapter will say to you, ?this is how it must have happened.?

The Crimson Cord is comprised of multiple intertwined strands, woven in complexity when a young mother dies giving birth to twin sons. While dying, she gives them names foretelling of their oncoming conflict. The confusion accompanying their birth, threatens to destroy their family as they grow older.

Strengthen the cord with a scarlet thread of jealousy of an abused concubine possessed with insecurities and the blood red rage of a spurious criminal who will stop at nothing to get revenge. Then plait the cord with an outer layer of witchcraft, drugs and deviant sex, as the younger son pursues an uncharted course, caravanning to Carnival in Canaan. After learning life?s hard lessons, the lost one retraces his steps home, to be embraced in celebration by some but spurned by his brother?s contempt.

Will the cord become an inescapable web of death or a safety net of love as the last chapter concludes in unexpected tumult?
