The daily fabric of our lives is woven with threads of expectations and commitments, laughter and tears, joy and discouragement, mundane routine and unpredictable events. In the midst of all this, the unbroken thread entwined throughout the life of the believer is the thread of God’s grace given to us in Christ. The Threads of Grace devotional book is designed to help you turn your eyes upon Jesus each day and to remind you of God’s faithfulness as you spend time in His Word.

Each daily meditation was selected from approximately twenty-five years of devotional articles printed on Free Lutheran church bulletins provided by Ambassador Publications. Many of the writers represent ministries of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations (AFLC). Though the devotional articles in the book include a variety of authors, topics, and writing styles, the theme of God’s grace is woven throughout. Several of the devotionals focus on particular celebrations in the Church Year or annual holidays. A separate section in the back of the book highlights special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Easter that do not occur on the same date each year.

Threads of Grace was published in 2012 in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the AFLC, but its themes and writings serve as a timeless devotional tool. Pastor John Mundfrom, who served on the Board of Publications at the time, was a strong proponent of the publication of this book as he believed it to be a significant opportunity to encourage the people of the AFLC to continue to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (II Peter 3:18).
