Summary: Characters Who Grow On You
Review: I enjoyed both Redemption, and the latest, Remember. The author has given the reader characters who face real struggles yet grow spiritually in dealing with them. When a character "falls away", the author leaves the reader with the hope that he/she will return and renew their faith. It is easy to feel the heartwrenching pain and heartache the characters experience, as well as the joys. The book is a very easy read, and left me waiting expectantly for the next book, Return. For me, "not wanting a book to end" is the hallmark of a well written book, and is what I've found in the Redemption series.

Summary: Deserves a "Ten!"
Review: I have never read a series of books that can touch my heart as does the books written by this awesome gal named Karen. She has brought me to tears, and down on my knees more times than I can count. And to think that the story of the Baxters and the entire family is going to continue on for a total of 13 books in three series! God bless you and your wonderful family, Karen, and may God continue to inspire your pen that writes words of gold that touch the hearts of everyone who reads them, and assures us that He is always with us, no matter what.

Summary: A Must Read, but Only In Order!!!
Review: I have read every book in Karen Kingsbury's and Gary Smalley's Redemption series (books 1-3) and have preordered book 4. I find once I start a book, I can't put it down. In fact, once I started with the first book, I read the next 2 books in the next 2-3 days because I couldn't wait to find out what God had in store for the characters in the book. It's been a long time since I read a story with this much heart; that touches my heart and makes me cry, as well as lifts me up and makes me feel like I'm in love again! Awesome!

Summary: Great book! I could not put it down!
Review: I have read several books by Karen Kingsbury and she has never failed me yet to supply a great read. The characters in this book show true human nature and emotions. Family emotions and true to life struggle within. How valuable family is to a person. I especially enjoyed the love and concern that our main character Ashley shows to the Alhemizer patients. This is an excellent book, I did not realize it was part of a series so now I can't wait to read the first book in the series "Redemption". Truly a great, moving, enjoyable read. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Even Better Than "Redemption" !
Review: I picked up "Redemption" on a whim, and was very glad I did. I was completely drawn into the Baxter family saga, and came to love all the characters like they were real people. But the one who really stuck with me was Ashley Baxter.

"Remember" is Ashley's story. It still checks in on everyone else, but the focus this time is definitely on the lives of Ashley and Landon. The novel was very emotionally involoving- there were moments I sobbed. I felt the September 11 scenes were quite tastefully done, and I know I had tears streaming down my face numerous times.

I would highly recommend this series to anyone who likes an emotionally involving set of novels. I've found the Baxter family constantly on my mind as I wait to read the next book. You'll be drawn in and come to care about these people like they're your family--Ms. Kingsbury is that good.

Summary: COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN
Review: These "R" books by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Samlley are absolutely wonderful (Redemption, Remember, Reunion). Have read all 3 and can not wait for #4. Have just finished my first of Karen Kingsbury's novels "Where Yesterday Lives" and this book was awesome, too. Am ordering three more of her books today. She is a blessing and an author I can understand completely.

Summary: WOW!
Review: This is a perfect part two for "Redemption"! Infact I rate it to be even better than the first. In book one you were left wondering three things: "What's in store for Kari and Ryan?", "What happened to Ashley in Paris?", and "Why is Luke such a jerk?". This answers your questions while still leaving room for the next book.
While it is a great book, I don't recommend this to people who get really uncomfortable with.......intimacy. This story deals with real issues. Some people may need to think about reading it before hand. Rest assured this book does NOT justify such things.
