A great continuing story of a Christian family unfolds before our eyes.

It is filled with numerous twists and turns that keep the readers on the edge of their seats.

The narrative weaves a complex web of emotions, challenges, and spiritual growth within the family.

Each character has their own unique journey, facing trials and tribulations that test their faith and love for one another.

The story is so engaging that it is hard to put down once you start reading.

It takes you on a rollercoaster ride of excitement, as you follow the family through their ups and downs.

You become invested in their lives, rooting for them to overcome their obstacles and find peace and happiness.

This story is not only a tale of a Christian family but also a reflection of the human experience and the power of faith in times of difficulty.

It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good story that combines drama, romance, and spiritual depth.

Karen is simply playing with my emotions, and she is extremely adept at it. However, she can also be rather cruel.

My point is that this book or this series may not be the greatest or most outstanding work of literature, and the translation was definitely not among the best. Nevertheless, the way the author was able to convey the characters' feelings and the way she juxtaposed things is truly remarkable. I am extremely curious about how everything will ultimately come together, and I am certain that it will be amazing and not what I anticipated.

And finally, but no less importantly, I wanted to say a few words about the way Karen depicted different characters in their relationship with God. Just like in the "Redemption" series, she presented numerous scenarios and countless possibilities, and the way she managed to emphasize God's purpose and plans for these people is simply astonishing. I particularly love the message in this book, which is one of forgiveness, love instead of hate, and peace instead of chaos.

I truly relish these stories, for they are like a seamless continuum, one flowing into another.

You are constantly on the edge of your seat, never quite certain what lies ahead. In this particular book, I did manage to make a bit of a prediction regarding what Ashley did.

It's a veritable whirlwind of drama, and I find myself completely immersed in it.

I have a great deal of respect for Katy and the actions she took in this book.

Moreover, I'm on tenterhooks, eagerly awaiting to see how the Dayne situation unfolds within the Baxter family.

Certainly, he can't remain a secret indefinitely, can he?

Well, add this to the list of Karen Kingsbury books that have made me cry.


The storylines in the book can sometimes be extremely far-fetched, to the point where they seem completely unbelievable. However, that's precisely what I value about this series.


As a reader, it's enjoyable to let oneself be carried away by an incredible story.


Kingsbury, as always, does an outstanding job of guiding the reader back to the core of God.


I will always be a fan of hers. :)


This book, like many of her others, has the power to tug at your heartstrings and make you believe in the impossible.


The characters are so well-developed that you feel as if you know them personally.


The plot twists keep you on the edge of your seat, and before you know it, you've finished the book in one sitting.


If you're looking for a book that will make you laugh, cry, and ultimately strengthen your faith, then this is the one for you.

What a tragedy! But once again, Karen Kingsbury shares the power of forgiveness!

It may seem like "an old, overused" word, applicable only to the most hellacious situations. However, time and time again, we are shown how hearts are healed, relationships are mended, and hurt is forgotten \\n  just by forgiving\\n.

The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him. Daniel 9:9

When you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. Mark 11:25

Of course, there are so many more adages on forgiveness (yes, it's that popular!). It is too available, but at the same time, it is too difficult to use.... That's why we can use it with God's grace.

Sharing one of my favorite songs from my crush (High School lang!!? Hahaha!):

This book delved into a plethora of extremely serious and deeply emotional issues. It was not the kind of read that would bring immediate happiness or lightheartedness.

However, what made it remarkable was the way the life's lessons within were portrayed. They were handled with the utmost compassion and understanding.

The author seemed to have a profound sense of empathy for the characters and the situations they found themselves in. This allowed for a more nuanced and relatable exploration of the various themes.

Despite the heavy subject matter, the book managed to offer valuable insights and perspectives that could potentially have a positive impact on the reader's own life. It served as a reminder that even in the face of difficult circumstances, there is always the possibility of growth and learning.

Overall, while it may not have been a pleasant or easy read, it was certainly a thought-provoking and worthwhile one.

Always Fantastic, Encouraging, and Strengthening



These words are like a magical charm that has the power to transform my world. They are always fantastic, bringing a sense of wonder and excitement. The encouragement they offer is like a gentle breeze that pushes me forward, making me believe in myself and my abilities. And the strengthening effect they have on me is truly remarkable. It's as if they are building a solid foundation within me, making me more resilient and able to face any challenge that comes my way.



I devour these words like a hungry person devours a delicious meal. They nourish my soul and give me the energy I need to keep going. Every time I read them, I feel a surge of inspiration and motivation. They are my constant companions, always there to lift me up when I'm feeling down and to remind me of my inner strength.



In a world that can often be harsh and unforgiving, these words are a source of light and hope. They are a reminder that there is always something good to look forward to, and that I have the power to create a positive and fulfilling life for myself. I will continue to cherish and devour these words, knowing that they will always be there to guide and support me on my journey.

I truly admire the way in which the concept of "Forgiven" is developed and presented throughout this remarkable book!

What I find particularly fascinating is that it is not confined to just one character. True to her outstanding writing style, Karen Kingsbury masterfully reveals to us the profound reasons why this book is aptly named "Forgiven" through the experiences and stories of multiple characters.

Each character's journey towards forgiveness is unique and yet, they all contribute to the overarching theme of the book. It is a beautiful exploration of the human heart and the power of forgiveness. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and it has left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a thought-provoking and inspiring read. :)

I didn't have the opportunity to read the first book in this series. This particular book was given to me, so I simply decided to give it a go. At the beginning, the pace was rather slow, which made me a bit hesitant. However, as I continued reading, the story gradually unfolded and built up quite well. It managed to capture my interest and kept me engaged.

By the end of the book, I found myself curious and eager to know more about what would happen next. There was a certain allure that made me want to explore further. Nevertheless, it wasn't quite enough to drive me to actively search for the next book in the series. I guess it's a bit of a dilemma. On one hand, I'm intrigued, but on the other hand, I'm not fully committed to delving deeper into this particular series just yet.

Overall, it was an okay read that had its moments but didn't quite manage to hook me completely. Maybe if I had read the first book, my perception would be different. But for now, I'll just have to wait and see if my curiosity gets the better of me and leads me to pick up the next installment.

This installment focuses on the theme of healing through forgiveness. It is filled with more tears and intense drama that truly captured my attention.

I found myself completely engrossed in the story and couldn't resist the urge to keep reading. In fact, I ended up finishing it within a day.

The power of forgiveness was beautifully explored, showing how it can have a profound impact on one's life and relationships.

Now that I've completed this installment, I'm excited to move on to book #3 and see what new adventures and lessons it has in store for me.

I'm sure it will be just as captivating and thought-provoking as the previous ones.

I can't wait to continue this literary journey and discover more about the characters and their lives.

Overall, this installment was a great read and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys stories that touch on the themes of love, forgiveness, and personal growth.

I listened to an audiobook and LOVED IT.

Now, I have this intense desire to listen to all of the Baxter family books on audio. It's truly amazing how these audiobooks can be so uplifting and entertaining, especially when you're driving in the car. You don't have to pay overly close attention, which makes it a perfect companion for those long drives.

This particular audiobook is a great sequel to “Fame”, the first book in the series. I think Karen Kingsbury did an excellent job of developing the main characters, Dane and Katie. The storyline of their relationship growing and changing was really engaging and kept me hooked from start to finish.

I can't wait to experience the rest of the series, whether it's through reading with my eyes or, hopefully, listening with my ears again! It's going to be an exciting journey.
