"Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers" ~Harry S. Truman
"A single moment of obedience by an ordinary person started a wonderful relationship and a better life for a poor street child. Maurice started to dream because Laura showed him compassion and kindness. This is exactly what Jesus is asking his followers to do today in a broken world. An Invisible Thread is an example for each and every one of us, not only in South Africa and but in every other country. This book can and will change the world.”
Dr. Johan Smith, Pastor of Moreleta Church in Pretoria, South Africa
The debut novel of American author Veronica Roth is the first installment in a trilogy. The novel is set in a future dystopian version of Chicago. The citizens of Chicago live in a society that is divided into five factions, each one meant to uphold a particular virtue of humanity: Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave) and Erudite (the intelligent). On a given day each year, all sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that will tell them which faction they are best suited for, after which they must decide whether to remain with their family or transfer to a new faction. Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior was born into an Abnegation family, but selflessness has never come naturally to her.
