The Redemption Series... what is there to say? I became so involved right from the start. This book is amazing! Karen Kingsbury's stories are so heartfelt and uplifting. They are great Christian fiction that is not in your face and can still hang with all the popular chick lit authors, especially the Redemption Series and other series about the Baxter family. I still wish I was a Baxter.

I'm not even religious so I have no idea why I find these books so enjoyable and compelling!
This is the first Karen Kingsbury book I have read. It was wonderful. A beautiful story of the pain and loss of just living. God's grace is evident in every life, even as they go on to make their good choices and thier bad choices. The first book in the series, Redemption was a heartwarming introduction to the Baxter family. I can't wait to see what God will do in their lives!!

Redemption
By Karen Kingsbury
With Gary Smalley
“The more bad choices you make, the less bad they seem.”
“Love is a decision.”
“Forgiveness happens once. Healing takes a lifetime.”
Re reading this Christian fiction after almost two decades was an excellent experience. I viewed it from a different perspective and it made me reflect on my life and choices.
Discussing it with members of the Hangout Cafe Book Club was such an insightful and enjoyable experience.
The first in a five part series about a Christian family of adults, the Redemption series follows the Baxter family.
Kari Baxter Jacobs discovers that her husband is involved in an adulterous relationship and wants a divorce. Despite the betrayal, Kari decides to remain faithful to her marriage, driven by her faith. The novel explores themes of redemption, love, forgiveness, betrayal, family and the power of love.
There were a couple of plot twist that kept this story fast paced and engaging.
