Love That Overturns a Hard Heart

"This little treasure who's been sent to me is better than my gold was.... My gold said 'Stay at your loom and weave, and earn more gold and more....' But this little bundle calls me away from my weaving a hundred times a day and says 'Look! The Spring is coming!'"

Betrayed by his best friend and maliciously accused of being a thief, Silas Marner loses everything---his fiancée, his friends, his reputation and ---worst of all---his faith in God and in his fellow man.

No longer willing to trust anyone, Silas Marner turns to gold instead---working at the loom for it, hoarding it, loving it. After all, his gold would never forsake him as his friend had. Or so he thinks....until his treasure is stolen. Soon after that, a beautiful, golden-haired child enters his life---a girl he loves as if she were his own daughter. But would this treasure be taken from him, too?

This heart-warming dramatization underscores the importance of loving relationships and beautifully portrays the transforming power of a child on a heart grown cold.

This radio dramatization of Silas Marner conveys key lessons about idolatry, forgiveness and the value of human relationships. Like all Focus on the Family Radio Theatre productions, Silas Marner will delight your family with its biblical message, uplifting values, extraordinary acting and dynamic orchestration.

Recorded in London with some of England's finest actors, this audio drama is a true-to-the-original adaptation of the George Eliot classic. This production utilizes film-quality sound design and a musical score to create a world that will inspire your imagination.
