FOREVER was truly an amazing way to conclude the Firstborn Series.

It felt like saying goodbye to old friends when I reached the end, as I didn't want the story to finish. However, I'm extremely glad that the beloved characters will make an appearance in the Sunrise series.

Just like in her previous books, the author's letter to the readers at the end of FOREVER was a delight to read. It gives a personal touch and makes the connection between the author and the readers even stronger. Additionally, the inclusion of discussion questions is a great bonus. It allows readers to further explore the themes and characters in the book and have meaningful conversations with others.

I, for one, would very much like to know if Karen Kingsbury has any speaking engagements. I would absolutely love to hear her speak at a Christian Women's event. Her words have the power to inspire and touch the hearts of many, and I'm sure her presence would be a blessing to all who attend.

Overall, FOREVER is a must-read for fans of the Firstborn Series and anyone who enjoys a heartwarming and faith-filled story.

Wow!

Umm, I'm truly sad to be coming to the end of this amazing series. At the same time, I'm also excitedly looking forward to starting the next one. However, this conclusion of the Firstborn series was truly something special. I had no idea that all the events that took place in this final installment would occur.

It was both sweet and sad to witness the characters growing closer in some ways and drifting further apart in others. The relationships among them were so complex and real, making it a truly engaging read.

The accident that occurred was indeed dreadful and had me on the edge of my seat, wondering how the characters would cope. But, to my delight, the ending was just perfect! It tied up all the loose ends and left me with a feeling of satisfaction.

Seeing Dayne, Katy, and all the other beloved characters in this book was an absolute joy. They came together in the face of adversity and built an even stronger family than before. Their love and support for one another was truly inspiring and made me believe in the power of family.

Overall, this series has been a wonderful journey, and I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next.

The story is so engaging and captivating that it keeps me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The author's writing style is superb, painting vivid pictures in my mind and making me feel as if I am right there in the story.

Overall, this book is an absolute masterpiece. It is a must-read for anyone who loves a good adventure, filled with mystery, excitement, and heartwarming moments. I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for us next. Great job!!!!

Once again, I completed one of these books within just two days.

There is a definite reason for this rapid reading pace. It is simply because these books are truly outstanding.

And this particular book was no different.

I am extremely sad to reach the conclusion of this series. However, I am also very glad that there are other series available that I can immediately pick up and continue reading right after this one.

It's like a never-ending cycle of literary enjoyment.

Although I am sorry to say goodbye to the characters and storylines of this series, I am excited to explore new worlds and adventures in the upcoming series.

Each new book holds the promise of new experiences and emotions, and I can't wait to embark on these new literary journeys.

This is the 5th book of the Firstborn series, yet it is the 10th book of the Baxter family series.

In this book, Dayne Mathews, the recently discovered firstborn son of the Baxter family,遭遇了一场由狗仔队引发的严重车祸并身受重伤。Dayne是一位电影明星,他即将与来自印第安纳州布卢明顿的Katy结婚。Katy也是Baxter一家的朋友。

This book really hit close to home for me. It's not because I'm a movie star and have to deal with the paparazzi. Instead, it's because over 20 years ago, I was in a terrible car accident. In that accident, I had a brain injury and lost my right leg above the knee. Just like me, Dayne also suffered a brain injury and almost lost his leg. I sort of wish he had actually lost his leg. Then Kingsbury could have shown the impact on society of losing a limb. How would it affect a movie star? Would their career be over, or would Hollywood still accept them?

The sibling dysfunction between Dayne and Luke was a bit too much for my taste. Nevertheless, it's still another good book in the Christian soap opera that is the Baxter Family. I like the way Kingsbury incorporates Bible verses throughout the book when the characters are facing difficulties, as if God is speaking directly to them.

Now, it's time to move on to the next mini-series in the Baxter Family mega-series.

This book had a very important message to convey. It was all about serving others and sharing your love with them.

The story within the pages was truly heartwarming. It showed how small acts of kindness and selflessness could have a profound impact on the lives of those around us.

As you read through the book, you couldn't help but be inspired by the characters and their actions. It made you realize that we all have the ability to make a difference in the world, no matter how big or small.

The author did a wonderful job of bringing this message to life in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. It's a book that you can pick up and read again and again, and each time you'll come away with a new appreciation for the power of serving others and showing love.

Overall, it's a must-read for anyone who wants to be inspired to make a positive change in the world.

There was an abundance of character development in this book, which I truly loved.

The author did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and showing their growth and evolution throughout the story.

Each character had their own unique personality and backstory, which made them feel real and relatable.

I found myself completely invested in their lives and rooting for them to succeed.

The character development added depth and complexity to the story, making it more engaging and enjoyable to read.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story with well-developed characters.

It was a truly satisfying read that I will not soon forget.

I really didn't have a favorable opinion of Luke's storyline. He was extremely hateful and brought about a great deal of damage. Then, out of nowhere, Dayne presents him with a job offer and suddenly he becomes repentant. It would have been so much better if he had shown signs of repentance before the job offer came his way. Because now, if there is anyone who might be suspected of loving Dayne for the money or celebrity status, it would most definitely be him. He is the only one who has reaped some sort of benefit from this whole situation. I truly wish that we could have had more time to witness Luke's redemption process all over again. It feels rushed and not entirely genuine. I hope that in future story developments, his character growth is more thoroughly explored and his repentance is more convincingly portrayed.
