Baxter Family books by Karen Kingsbury

Have any of you read about the Baxter family? Karen Kingsbury has written several series surrounding the lives of the Baxter family. The first series is called the Redemption series. This series contains 5 books called Redemption, Remember, Return, Rejoice, and Reunion. These books introduce you to the characters in the Baxter family and learn what has lead each of them to the place they are now. These books were co-authored by Gary Smalley, the relationship author. Karen Kingsbury, with the help of Gary Smalley, not only introduces the characters, but teaches the reader throughout the books how God heals relationships. From tragedy to poor decisions, they lead you back to a life with Christ through the characters. The reader can take the knowledge of what helped the character return to Christ, and internalize it for themselves in their own situations in life. I found this to be very helpful in my own life in things that I have to deal with.






I would love to go on about the second series, but it would give away information from the first series. So go check it out! Not only will you be hooked like I am, you will also possibly change your life!

Life got away from me!


So shortly after our daughter came home in July, we had a family member and her baby, who is 2 weeks younger than our daughter, move in with us. It is like having twins in our house! Life has since been very hectic as you might imagine! Things are starting to slow down now though and I have been doing a lot of reading lately so please watch for lots more reviews coming very soon. Hoping to get my first review up today! This picture of them was taken in October after a trip to a harvest party at church.
