NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 28, 2025) – Author and educator Dorla Schlitt, wife of John Schlitt, the lead singer of multi-Grammy and Dove Award-winning Christian band, Petra, and acclaimed solo artist, has released her new book, The Adventure of the Scarlet Thread: The Promise Fulfilled, today, January 28, 2025. The book is published by Fitting Words and Nana Books.

Dorla Schlitt delights in writing books and educational materials for children, youth, and adults to interact together and grow in their knowledge and faith in Christ Jesus.

She has authored books for publishers such as Lifeway’s B&H Publishing and Thomas Nelson Publishers, a subsidiary of HarperCollins Publishers. Her books include Splash, an early childhood curriculum to accompany Max Lucado’s The Come Thirsty Church Experience; the six-book series, Celebrate!

Dorla and John Schlitt couldn’t be more excited about the release of Dorla’s new book.

“I am so proud of Dorla!” says John Schlitt. “She is in her element when she is teaching or writing. She’s amazing!”

“The Adventure of the Scarlet Thread: The Promise Fulfilled started out as a Vacation Bible School curriculum that I wrote for our church in 1997,” says Dorla Schlitt. “As time passed, it sat on my shelf until I was able to work with the material again, and now it has taken the form of a full-color illustrated book for all ages.”

“God’s love for man and His faithfulness to His Word is one unfolding adventure story!” she muses. “The symbol of the scarlet thread begins in Genesis and weaves through scripture, pointing us toward God’s plan of redemption for man through His Son, Jesus, the Savior of the world!”

The Adventure of the Scarlet Thread: The Promise Fulfilled can be purchased on Amazon.com, SchlittShop.com, or wherever books are sold.

About Dorla Schlitt and The Adventure of the Scarlet Thread: The Promise Fulfilled

What began as a Vacation Bible School curriculum that author and educator Dorla Schlitt, who served on the Children’s Ministry staff at Christ Community Church in Franklin, TN, for almost 20 years, wrote for her church in 1997 has now taken the form of an exciting full-color illustrated book for all ages.

The Adventure of the Scarlet Thread: The Promise Fulfilled begins in the Garden of Eden with the fall of humanity into sin, and weaves its way through the Old Testament scriptures and stories into the New Testament.

As readers explore four Old Testament stories to find the “scarlet thread,” they are introduced to God‛s wonderful plan of redemption unfolding through the ages and fulfilling His promise in Genesis 3:15 to bring the Savior, Jesus Christ, who will destroy the power of sin and death.

“I am so excited to share The Adventure of the Scarlet Thread: The Promise Fulfilled with children and youth, as well as their parents and teachers,” says Dorla Schlitt. “It’s a simple presentation of the profound truth of God’s eternal plan of salvation through His Son, Jesus.”

“I wrote this book to help children and youth see the Bible as one continuous unfolding story of God’s love for man and His faithfulness to His Word,” Dorla Schlitt continues. “In the book, the ‘scarlet thread’ is a symbol of the temporary provision God made for His Old Testament covenant people, which led to the fulfillment of the promise in the New Testament with the coming of the Savior.”

Dorla Schlitt is married to John Schlitt, the lead singer of multi-Grammy and Dove Award-winning Christian band, Petra. They live in Franklin, Tennessee, and have four grown children.
