This was an extremely difficult book to get through, especially considering the tragedy of 9/11.

I could clearly sense that Karen Kingsbury had done an extensive amount of research about this event. She not only had a deep understanding of the facts but also incorporated some firsthand accounts and witnesses' perspectives.

The way she wrote this story was truly remarkable. It was so engaging and well-crafted that I simply could not put the book down!

Every page seemed to draw me deeper into the emotions and experiences of those affected by the 9/11 tragedy.

Kingsbury's ability to bring this story to life in such a vivid and powerful way is a testament to her talent as a writer.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the impact of 9/11 and the human spirit in the face of such a devastating event.

Genială și asta.

It is really great.

I truly believe that I will finish the series by the end of the week.

This is a remarkable achievement.

The note of 100 is a testament to my hard work and dedication.

I have been putting in a lot of effort to understand and master the content of the series.

Each episode has been a learning experience, and I have gained a wealth of knowledge and skills along the way.

I am looking forward to seeing the final outcome and sharing it with others.

I am confident that it will be well-received and will make a positive impact.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my progress and look forward to continuing to grow and learn.

This book places its emphasis on Luke, and there is a significant amount of Ashley as well.

I initially had the inclination to rate it unfavorably. However, I ended up staying up until 4 am to complete it in less than 24 hours.

Even though I felt that it dragged on more than some of the others, and the plotting was just a touch too clichéd, I still read it from start to finish without hesitation.

Clearly, I had some level of enjoyment from it. It's important to remember that these are character stories. The plot serves merely as a means to drive character development.

Nonetheless, I'm hoping that Brook and Erin will be the central characters in the next two books.

I'm eager to see how their stories unfold and how their characters will grow and evolve.

It will be interesting to observe if the author can bring the same level of depth and authenticity to their characters as was done with Luke and Ashley.

Overall, despite its flaws, this book has left me with anticipation for what's to come in the series.

So far, Remember has been my absolute favorite among the series. Return was also a great read....but my heart truly broke for all the characters.

I have this strong feeling that this series should actually be named the "Ashley Baxter's Family Series." Now, don't misunderstand me....I have a deep love for Ashley Baxter and Landon Blake's story. I'm extremely excited to discover what lies ahead for them. However, I can't help but notice that for a book that was ostensibly written about Luke Baxter, it ended up discussing Ashley more than Luke.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I was overjoyed when Ashley achieved victory, and my heart sank when I learned about her test results. I won't go into spoilers here, but let me just say, it was really sad.

Now, here come the spoiler alerts. Seriously, if you haven't read the series yet but plan to, stop reading right now as it will spoil a lot of things. I'm a huge fan of Karen Kingsbury's books, but Luke Baxter's return to God seemed very....for lack of a better word, cheesy to me. He was agnostic for so long, and then all of a sudden, when he saw his kid, he was like, "Oh, I see my kid, yup, God exists." Personally, since I'm not in the "want-to-be-a-parent" category, this part was a bit of a letdown for me. I mean, Luke walked into Reagan's apartment fully determined to maintain his free-thinking lifestyle, and then the moment he laid eyes on Tommy, he suddenly became a Believer again. If I were Luke, it would take a whole lot more than that to convince me that God is real. But hey, everyone is different, and it was still a good book regardless. I just felt that Luke's return to God was more of a side story and a bit of a dolphin ending, considering the book was supposed to be about him.

But all in all, it was indeed a good book! I truly enjoyed it, and I'm eagerly looking forward to reading the next one!

The plot is now beginning to venture into the "really?" territory.

However, it remains good enough to compel one to finish the last book in the series.

Despite this slight dip in plausibility, there is still an underlying charm and intrigue that keeps the reader engaged.

The story has developed in such a way that it has built up a certain momentum, and even though this new direction might raise some eyebrows, it also has the potential to lead to some exciting revelations and conclusions.

The characters are well-developed and their relationships add depth to the narrative, making it difficult to simply abandon the series at this point.

Even with the "really?" moments, the overall quality of the writing and the engaging nature of the story are enough to ensure that the reader will eagerly turn the pages of the final book, hoping for a satisfying resolution.

Another stellar notch in the Redemption Series.

This book delves more deeply into the character of Luke as he grapples with the far-reaching repercussions of 9-11 and experiences a profound crisis of faith.

It also takes an in-depth look at the lives of all the sisters. One sister has a sick child, which brings with it a host of emotional and practical challenges. Another sister is in the process of moving, dealing with the upheaval and changes that come with relocating. And yet another sister is on the verge of getting married, filled with excitement and anticipation but also perhaps some nerves.

Ashley and Landon continue to be a topic of conversation, their relationship still evolving and full of possibilities. But when Paris makes a call, will it bring an end to things?

These books are truly easy reads. At times, they may seem somewhat predictable, but there is ALWAYS a twist that catches me completely off guard. I simply cannot wait to read #4 and see what new surprises and developments await.

One reason I don't read serial novels (or watch the show "Lost") is that as they progress, the plots often become overly convoluted. This is done to maintain the reader's interest and keep them turning the pages.

For instance, in this series, I'm reluctant to read the other two books. The events and circumstances within this family seem less and less like real life. While the first book started with a simple yet heartbreaking plot twist, this one ends with numerous inexplicable open ends.

Moreover, despite their flaws, the characters are still too idealized, especially the men like Ryan Taylor and Landon Blake. They are like fairy-tale princes, always saying the right things, never using irony or sarcasm, and even remembering to use coasters under their water glasses.

Kingsbury's prose also shows signs of laziness in this book. She leans too much on clichés and tired phrases like "a piece of her heart was missing" and "his thoughts swirled around him like a whirlwind."

I often feel like that kid in "The Princess Bride" who asks, "Woah, woah, woah--is this a kissing book?" due to all the descriptions of Landon's passionate, longing, tender, loving, and trusting kisses. Ugh, enough already.

So why did I give it four stars? Well, it is a real page-turner, and I do appreciate what Kingsbury is attempting to do. She aims to showcase God's faithfulness in people's lives. However, I would have preferred a single novel with a more focused story centered around a few characters, allowing for greater depth, rather than a complex web of characters whose lives intersect in increasingly absurd ways.

I read this series either during my college years or in high school, so it has been quite some time ago.

Nevertheless, the series was truly enjoyable to read. It has the ability to immerse you in the challenges and struggles that the characters face, and it takes you through realistic situations that you can easily relate to.

Looking back, there are certain parts that I now find less realistic. For example, Landon "waiting" for Ashley since high school. In reality, most guys would simply move on with their lives and find another girl to marry.

Another instance is famous Dane Matthews pursuing small-town Katie. It seems a bit far-fetched.

Moreover, all of the characters in the series seem to be good-looking. My brother always used to make fun of me for reading these books, especially when there was an attractive male on the front cover.

Despite these minor flaws, there is also a bit of a melodramatic element to these stories. However, overall, they were enjoyable and even helpful for me when I was younger. They provided an escape from reality and allowed me to explore different emotions and experiences through the eyes of the characters.

Every book in this series is truly better than the previous one.

Karen Kingsbury is an author who writes with such heart and authenticity that she really manages to get my emotions going.

As I read, I found myself laughing and crying for the characters, becoming completely invested in their lives.

It was especially touching to see Luke's journey back to God.

Another aspect that I appreciated was the revelation that a character has AIDS. Although it wasn't delved into too deeply in terms of how it would impact the character's lifestyle, it was still nice to see real world problems incorporated into the story.

This added a layer of realism and made the story even more engaging.

I am now eagerly anticipating the release of the next book in the series.

I can't wait to see what new adventures and challenges the characters will face and how their stories will continue to unfold.

Karen Kingsbury has truly mastered the art of writing captivating and emotional stories that keep readers coming back for more.

After reading the first two books in the Redemption series, I found this particular installment to be a bit less engaging in terms of captivating my imagination. The story line seemed to develop at a slower pace compared to the previous two books. Nevertheless, it still had a solid foundation.

The theme of redemption is clearly present in the relationships within the story. It shows how difficult it can be to return, whether it's in a broken relationship with another person or in one's connection with God. The author did an excellent job of portraying these complex emotions and the process of restoration.

Despite its slight shortcomings, I still highly recommend this series. It offers valuable insights into the human experience and the power of redemption. Now, I'm eager to move on to book 4 and continue this journey of discovery.

Overall, the Redemption series has been a thought-provoking and enjoyable read, and I look forward to seeing where the author takes the story next.

Luke Baxter, after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, has distanced himself from his family and his faith. He has been in a state of turmoil, questioning all the beliefs he once held dear.

Kari Baxter is about to marry her first love, Ryan Taylors. But the potential absence of Luke from the wedding casts a shadow over the whole family. John and Elizabeth Baxter long for their son to return.

Unbeknownst to Luke, he has a son with Reagan Decker. Due to a past mistake, Reagan is keeping the child away from him. In my opinion, Luke should have been informed about his son much earlier.

One aspect of the book that I didn't appreciate was Ashley's stubbornness regarding her relationship with Landon. Despite the possibility of her having HIV, I believe she should have allowed Landon to stay by her side rather than pushing him away.

The ending of the book was truly wonderful. Kari's wedding was a joyous occasion, and the fact that Luke came back to his family and finally saw his little boy was heartwarming.

I thoroughly enjoyed being part of this family's story once again.

Luke, Luke, Luke.

Without revealing the details of this story, I can tell you that you'll find yourself in a rather矛盾的 situation. On one hand, you'll feel the urge to pray for him, perhaps because of the difficulties and challenges he faces. On the other hand, there will be moments when you'll want to shake him, maybe due to his decisions or actions that seem a bit frustrating.

This is an amazing read. If you're already familiar with Mrs. Kingsbury's work, then you definitely won't be disappointed in this book. She has truly outdone herself this time. Her writing is as engaging and captivating as ever, drawing you into the story and making you care deeply about the characters.

You'll be on the edge of your seat, eagerly turning the pages to find out what happens next. It's a book that will keep you thinking long after you've finished reading it.
