Another winner by Karen Kingsbury that deals with real life events, such as premature babies, divorce, indulgence in pornography, etc, in the light of God's grace to provide healing for people dealing with those issues. This is the second in her Timeless Love Series, and was full of demonstrations of the miracles available to those who call on God for help when their own efforts have not been sufficient.

Pretty good book. Great ending but it was Super drama over load. One scene really had nothing to do with the book. It turned out the person responsible was not even named was someone from another school. But overall I enjoyed it would read it again and would recommend it

A wonderful conclusion to this series. Our main couple after facing divorce are happily married once again. Now they are facing a problems to pornography to a terrible accident. This book isn't afraid to go there, which I love in a book. In this world we face problems, we aren't promised a care free life and this book reflects this. I am so glad I decided to pick this series up and I highly recommend it. I gave this book a 4.5 stars! Definitely will keep reading from Karen Kingsbury!!!

In this novel by Karen Kingsbury, there is an intense focus on love, loyalty, trust, and expectance. In A Time to Embrace, Nicole, Abby and John’s daughter, discovers many things. First, she finds out about how John and Abby and almost divorced the night of her wedding – the night of their anniversary. As Abby tries to figure out how to deal with how to react to this new information (John’s and Abby’s affairs on each other), she also tries to balance her new marriage and college, and something else that she wasn’t expecting, nor had they planned on happening, for several more years – Nicole was pregnant. As much as she wanted to feel happy about her new baby growing inside of her, she just couldn’t. Nicole began to slip into a deep depression because of her pregnancy, afraid of all of the what-ifs that stood in her future. She had planned to finish college and start her carrier before they even thought about children – but her child had been an accident. Also, John gets into a horrible accident, caused by two of his own football players (gets paralyzed because of it) and faces losing his job because of a group of disgruntled parents.

This series has to be one of my favorites, for sure! It has a rather addicting storyline, and I couldn't wait to finish it! Karen Kingsbury has a wonderful talent. I couldn't put it down! I am one that normally doesn't really like religious books, as I normally fimd them very dry and boring. It was actually quite the opposite here! I found this book and the one before it extremely addicting and inspiring. Reading this has made me want to be a better Catholic, as well...

People who enjoy reading religious books would enjoy this novel, as it explores ones’ own sense of religion, making the reader question oneself about how they had treated their religion. Also, people who enjoy romance novels would enjoy this book. People who enjoy reading a long, slightly more challenging read would also enjoy this book because it makes a person question their own morals on multiple levels. Generally anyone who enjoys a good book that challenges their mind would thoroughly enjoy this book. People who enjoy reading tragedies would enjoy this as well, being that there are many tragedies in this book, but not in the classic sense – more of things that people today would consider tragic to happen.

The characters in this book are ordinary people, which make them real and believable.
Coach Reynolds and his wife Abby are both portrayed as good Christians but were subject to temptations like any other to which they both almost succumb, but for God’s grace.
Their marriage was restored only to be faced with series of challenge. We can see their personal struggles but their marriage and family was able to withstand the storm because they fought together.
