Summary: WWJD
Review: I really liked this book when I first read thru it. however I dont think its coincidence that I purchased it at the same time as a "how to" book about the "hard cases" in marriage. this story is the fantasy of every woman trapped in a bad marriage: that her husband will drop dead and "mr right" will swoop in and give her all the love she never got. what would have been a REAL thumbs up for me would have been a story showing how God changed one of the partners with His love and it spread to the other and life was breathed into a dead marriage. perhaps without the juxtaposition with my other purchase it might not have occured to me what a very dangerous (spiritually speaking) fantasy this is to feed for someone in a situation such as Megans....but I felt very let down as this occured to me. yes, so often it is the unbelievable serendipity of lifes situations that often leads people to belive there must be a God (and I have heard of some true stories that were every bit as unbelievable coincidental as those in this series) but unfortunately the way the marital situations were treated ruined the faith building potential of the novel.

Summary: A novel of joy and hope...
Review: If you are down and feel like life is little better than something you might scrape off your shoe, then the best thing you can do is pick up anything written by Ms. Kingsbury. This book is no exception.Megan Wright chose a "love" based on worldly measures, and it left her a heart broken single parent, convinced love is a sham. Her son feels her pain, so with childish innocence, he writes God asking for a miracle for his mom. Though the letter is never mailed, as Megan (Maggie) does not know the address, it has a surprising result. Equally pain filled is Casey Cummins, a widower who responds to an ad for adults to help hurting children. Being paired with Maggie's son turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to all three, especially when Maggie learns the truth about who Casey is. ***** All the events here are things that could be dismissed as coincidence, but the discerning heart will see them as miracles God has used ordinary people to work. This is a beautiful story, one that will touch your heart with joy and hope. ***** Reviewed by Amanda

Summary: The Red Glove series gloriously continues!
Review: The Red Glove series has added another success to its name! This novel, though short, has a lot of life within its pages. Though the ending wasn't really a surprise, it was such a 'feel-good' book it doesn't matter if you're surprised. I found myself grinning during the happy times, as the climax built up, and getting teary eyed during the 'looking back' phase of the book. No matter what, you will finish the book and be grateful you have a heavenly Father that looks out for you ....... in bad times and most especially in good. Thanks Karen Kingsbury, for your dedication to providing quality fiction to readers that like a good, clean book to relax with at the end of a long day!

Summary: A Very Sweet Book
Review: This book was about Megan, a high powered lawyer who didn't believe in love due to a series of events in her life. Then there is her son Jordan, who prays for a new daddy and who wants her mother to believe in love again. Then enters Casey, who is matched with Jordan through a Healing Hearts program. Casey is struggling to overcome the death of his wife and baby. This book was very short and to the point. But in such a short book, Karen Kingsbury was able to fully develop the characters, so that we saw why Megan didn't believe in love. I loved the characters in this book, especially Casey. He is struggling with his grief, but he is able to help someone else out. I also loved the "Red Glove" theme in the book, about red being the color of giving. And I loved how Megan was eventually able to believe in love again. I really enjoyed this short little book. I haven't read Gidean's Gift, but plan to get a hold of that book, too.

Summary: inspirational family drama
Review: Two years ago George Wright died from a massive coronary leaving behind his wife Megan and their six year old son Jordan. The surviving Wrights lost more than a father and husband as both still mourn his death. With Megan fully occupied as a NYC prosecutor, Jordan feels lonely. He writes a letter to God asking for a daddy for Christmas. Megan sees the note and decides to sign up her son with the Healing hearts Program. Restaurateur Casey Cummins has never recovered from the deaths of his wife and baby. His caring friend persuades him to volunteer at the Healing Hearts Program. His child is Jordan. As he and Jordan become pals, he and Megan fall in love, but both must overcome the ghosts of losing their first spouse. This inspirational family drama is an enjoyable contemporary tale that encourages those who have lost a loved one not to give up on life. The three key characters seem real and those coaxing them to start anew with fond memories add depth to the theme. A neat twist involving the teen past of the adults will turn some off, but most readers will see it as MAGGIE'S MIRACLE. Harriet Klausner
