SO... my first review was off. This is the sequel to "A Time to Dance." (Also a great read). This book really helped me as a person, a part of a family, and a teacher. The lesson is about what you can overcome with the help of God and family. It's amazing what God's love can do for your life and your family. The ostacle the main character faces is so huge, and yet he endures and goes on to thrive.
Way too preachy. Too many positive outcomes. Too many new characters and problems. It was like living in perfectland. This was my first time reading Karen Kingsbury and although I am Christian, the amount of religious inserts was distracting. I would never read one of her books again. Had potential, but ended up being ridiculous.
God works miracles! However, sometimes His answers to our prayers aren't what ours would be. In those situations we trust a sovereign God who holds the world together. We await the day of His return when all things will be made right, as He intended!
John and Abby had reconciled after nearly divorcing and are happy and praying together. But new problems happen at school and he is severely injured in an accident.
Currently reading this amazing and what I can call as a life-changing book indeed. Almost read half of this story already yet it gave me a beautiful and hopeful experience, portrayed by the fictional characters here. You can just sit anywhere you like and then you find yourself entertained and delving in the story. Thank you for this!
Decided to put a review already because I might be motivated to finish the book so I could have my full say in this, hehe. Anyway, this one is definitely fascinating!
Can't believe this book have published before I was born ✨
I have always loved Kingsbury's work. Her writing made me fall in love with reading almost 10 years ago. I did enjoy reading the two books that make this series and the storyline, However, That being said,
This book deals with a lot of heavy topics. Teenage drinking, street racing, paralysis, pre-term labor to name some. At one point one of the characters makes the comment of God always answers our prayers, not necessarily how we want but it a way He sees as best. And yet, somehow everyone in this book lives happily ever after.
I am sorry but that is just not real life. Life is hard and challenging and at times it seems like you are in a never ending nightmare. Don't get me wrong, there are many joyous seasons too. But for once I would like to read a book where it is more realistic and relatable and just more believable.
Once again Karen Kingsbury does it again. I thought after A Time to Dance, I couldn't learn anything more about relationships and faith but I was wrong. This novel just goes to show that you shouldn't ever give up hope on something, and that God will help you through the tough times and the even tougher times. The strength shown by the characters in this book really spoke to my heart. I once again will not forget this story, and the lessons I learned from it.
Milagros. Es lo que Dios nos da a todos, pocos los han visto o apreciado, yo espero seguir viendolos y no perder la fe, para seguir encontrando libros de gente que piensa como yo. 26/09/2014. Sara Nuñez
