I truly enjoy Karen Kingsbury's writing.

She has an amazing talent for bringing the reader right into the heart of the story.

With her vivid descriptions and engaging narratives, she makes the characters come alive on the page.

You can't help but feel for them, share in their joys and sorrows, and become completely invested in their lives.

Her stories often deal with complex themes such as love, loss, family, and faith, and she explores them in a way that is both thought-provoking and inspiring.

Whether you're a fan of romance, drama, or Christian fiction, Karen Kingsbury has something for everyone.

Her books are a great escape from reality and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon or evening.

I highly recommend her work to anyone who loves a good story.

This book was truly SO good.

It had such a profound impact on me that it brought me to absolute tears in the last few chapters.

The manner in which God moves through each and every character throughout the story serves as a powerful reminder of just how amazing God is.

It shows us that He is not only an omnipotent being but also someone who is incredibly present in our daily lives.

Every action, every decision, and every encounter in the story is influenced by God's presence, making it a beautiful and inspiring read.

The author's ability to convey this message so effectively is truly remarkable, and it makes this book a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of God's love and grace.

Overall, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a life-changing read that will leave you with a sense of hope, peace, and a stronger connection to God.

Karen Kingsbury has once again delivered an amazing read. I am already on the fifth book of this series, Forever.

It's truly remarkable how she weaves the stories of the Baxter family. Each book in the series is like a new adventure, filled with love, heartbreak, and the power of family.

I just can't seem to let go of these stories. They have become a part of my life, and I find myself completely immersed in the world of the Baxter family.

The characters are so well-developed that I feel like I know them personally. Their struggles and triumphs are so relatable, and I find myself rooting for them every step of the way.

Karen Kingsbury's writing is simply beautiful. She has a way of making you feel every emotion that the characters are experiencing. It's like you're right there with them, sharing in their joys and sorrows.

If you haven't read any of Karen Kingsbury's books, I highly recommend that you do. You won't be disappointed.

I truly loved this one. In fact, I probably loved it more than the others I have encountered so far.

There is something about it that just clicks with me on a deeper level. Maybe it's the unique style, the engaging content, or the way it makes me feel.

It has a certain charm that draws me in and keeps me hooked from start to finish.

I find myself constantly coming back to it, re-reading and re-discovering new details each time.

It's like a hidden gem that I can't get enough of.

I'm excited to see what else this particular thing has in store for me in the future.

Terrible.

I only persisted in reading because I was eager to find out what would occur in the series.

I have the feeling that there was no genuine resolution to the problems in the end.

The whole premise of the challenges that Dayne confronts in this book is founded on the fear of what others think.

It is relatively straightforward to consider what is significant to God.

The truth and what He thinks, rather than what people think.

It is extremely frustrating.

To expand on this, the story seems to lack a proper conclusion, leaving the reader with a sense of dissatisfaction.

The focus on the fear of others' opinions rather than on God's perspective detracts from the overall message.

It would have been more impactful if the author had explored the theme of relying on God's truth more deeply.

As it stands, the book feels incomplete and fails to provide a satisfying resolution to the conflicts presented.

Perhaps in future installments, the author will address these issues and offer a more fulfilling reading experience.

This is the fourth book of the Firstborn series. However, it is not the best in either the Firstborn series or the Baxter family series. What I have truly enjoyed about the Baxter family books is how Kingsbury takes the common experiences that all families go through and then applies God's word to the specific issues that the Baxters are facing.


In this particular book, there is an excessive amount of what feels like treading water. If it didn't have to adhere to the theme of all the titles starting with the letter "F", it would perhaps be more aptly titled "Indecision". There is John's indecision regarding telling his kids about Dayne and reaching out to Dayne himself. Ashley is indecisive about who her brother truly is and how to make contact with him. Dayne struggles with indecision about connecting with the Baxter family. And finally, Katy and Dayne are both indecisive about what to do with their feelings for each other.


The second redundant theme, aside from indecision, is the evils of the paparazzi. They make Dayne's life as a movie star truly horrible. They are the very reason that Katy refuses to come to Los Angeles to be with Dayne. They also prevent Dayne from coming to meet the Baxters as he doesn't want to subject their lives to the terror that the paparazzi bring. Unlike the average family, dealing with the paparazzi is not something that the average reader can easily identify with. This is precisely what makes the other Baxter family books so enjoyable.

A great book is like a magical key that unlocks the door to a world of infinite possibilities. It has the power to transport us to different times, places, and cultures, allowing us to experience things we could never imagine. A good book can make us laugh, cry, think, and feel. It can inspire us, change our perspectives, and even shape our lives.


When we pick up a great book, we are embarking on a journey. We become part of the story, living and breathing with the characters. We share their joys and sorrows, their hopes and dreams. The words on the page come alive, painting vivid pictures in our minds and touching our hearts.


Whether it's a classic novel, a thrilling mystery, a thought-provoking non-fiction work, or a beautifully written poem, a great book has the ability to leave a lasting impression. It becomes a part of us, something we cherish and remember long after we've turned the last page. So, the next time you pick up a book, open your mind and heart, and let the magic begin.

I am truly enjoying this series. It has captured my attention from the very beginning and has continued to hold it firmly. The storylines are engaging, filled with excitement, mystery, and unexpected twists. The characters are well-developed, each with their own unique personalities and backstories that make them relatable and interesting. The production values are also top-notch, with beautiful cinematography, excellent special effects, and a great soundtrack that adds to the overall atmosphere of the series. Every episode leaves me eager for the next one, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. I highly recommend this series to anyone who is looking for an entertaining and engaging show to watch.

While I do recommend reading this book as an integral part of the Baxter family saga, it unfortunately wasn't my absolute favorite within the series.

The aspect of the paparazzi was rather extreme. It seemed overly exaggerated, with the same scenarios being repeated time and again.

Although some elements of it might have held a grain of realism, I couldn't help but feel that the book placed an excessive emphasis on this particular angle.

However, I must admit that I have a deep affection for the Baxter family and their exciting adventures. In fact, I truly believe that they are as real as can be! ;)

Despite the drawbacks related to the paparazzi storyline, the charm and warmth of the Baxter family still managed to shine through, making it an overall enjoyable read.

Perhaps in future installments of the series, the author can find a better balance and focus more on the family's relationships and growth, rather than relying so heavily on the paparazzi drama.

Nevertheless, I will continue to follow the Baxter family's journey with great anticipation.

As he gets closer to Katie, he also realizes that she is the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with. The story is filled with drama, romance, and a touch of inspiration. It shows how even the most broken and lost souls can find hope and redemption through faith and love. Overall, this is a must-read for fans of the series and anyone who enjoys a good story about finding oneself and following one's heart.
