The Memory Quilt

A Christmas Story for Our Times

By: T.D. Jakes

Narrated by: CCH Pounder

Bishop Jakes weaves inspirational life lessons into this tender and touching Christmas tale, a thoughtful reflection on our actions throughout the giving season and all year-round.

Lela Edwards wants nothing more than to spend the holidays with her family. But her husband of fifty years passed away recently, her daughters live far from their old Chicago neighborhood, and her granddaughter, Darcie, is avoiding her grandmother for fear Lela will judge her decision to get a divorce. Irritated and lonely, Lela concentrates on the lessons of the Virgin Mary with her Bible study group and begins to piece together an unfinished quilt she set aside long ago.

As Lela also examines the Scriptures, she realizes how quick she is to find fault with the people around her. Lela soon discovers she has woven the Virgin Mary’s lessons into the handiwork of the quilt, a reminder that by following the guidance of the cherished story we revisit every December to celebrate the meaning of Christ, she can learn from her mistakes and find favor with God.

The Memory Quilt

I enjoyed the story very much ,,, I think Lelia was so abrupt and mean at times and negative because she was lonely after her husb died I think because of her negative attitude she kept her daughter at bay with her.

Overall the book was wonderful.

so so

I was looking forward to this book since I loved Not Easily Broken... Unfortunately the book drags and the narrator didn't have much personality =( I still love T.D. Jakes...
