SERIES:
The baby of the Baxter family, Luke, has left his family and all he has ever believed. Can and will the 'prodigal son' return? One thing that I found to be 'painted' so clearly in this book was the fact that Luke has become a "free thinker"- think outside the box, do whatever feels right at the moment, if you want to be involved with more than one person at a time that's okay, let go of those 'archaic-religious-strangling' morals that you've been raised with. etc... Luke is adamant that his fa
Luke Baxter turns away from his family, his faith and Reagan his only love. Reagan is about to have a baby, Luke’s baby. Only he does not know it.My ThoughtsI don’t know if I’ve shed so many tears over a book. There were many places that I had to stop and wipe my eyes. Reconciliation is in the heart of man, it’s in my heart. Life throws things at you and it threw a lot at the Baxter family. They’re no different than anyone else. People make bad choices and those decisions have consequences. We’v...
So far this is definitely the weak link in the Redemption Series. I don't really expect much of this series other than to entertain, give me some sighable romantic moments and perhaps teach a few thought-worthy christian principles. The first two delivered as promised. However, the resolution in Return was just a little too quick and pat for me. Towards the end of the book every conversation was one that the characters had already had at least two or three times before. And I really couldn't get...
Mhmm, this was a surprise . . . It was all right but felt slightly like one of the Firstborn books, like the Firstborn book was a repeat of Return. The plot was different enough that it wasn’t a complete copy but too much duo for my taste. Disappointing really, but still somewhat enjoyable. While it was repetitive it was still a nice read through murder the best in the series. Luke’s mistakes were cliche to me and I wish that the author hasn’t made them what they were but that may just be me.The...
~ Audiobook Review ~I feel like I really began to get into this series about mid way through this book (which is also the middle of the series) it was when Ashley goes to New York that I felt the book shifts and I began getting more hooked on the story. Definitely excited for what is to come!Characters: I think this book is meant to focus on Reagan and Luke but Ashley also has a large storyline. The parents and other siblings are also main characters in the story and all have developing storylin...
Plot is beginning to head to the "really?" area, but still good enough to finish the last book in the series.
It's a good book. It gave me some background on the characters and how they became whom they are in the latest book.
Return is the story of Luke Baxter, the youngest of the family and also the only son of John and Elizabeth Baxter. 9/11 truly changed Luke's life forever. Now he's certain that God doesn't even exist, and if He does, He doesn't care. After attending several "free-thinking" meetings based on humanism, Luke decides that there's nothing more to this life than random coincidences. I really enjoyed this story. Luke Baxter's faith had never been tried by fire before and he firmly believed that if a pe...
This series is a soap opera for Christians. All the drama and emotion of your favorite daytime TV show, but with heavy-handed religious overtones. Yes, there are unwed mothers, but they see the error of their ways. People lose their faith, but others pray for them to return to the fold. In this audio version, God has a deep female voice, I guess because the reader is a woman, and He speaks to Luke, the errant sheep of the Baxter fold. Quite unexpected – having God actually speak to you, out loud...
I can't believe how true to life the issues are that the author's characters' deal with in her novels. No pain is sidestepped. No pat answers are offered. True healing and forgiveness are experienced. Consequences of sin are suffered. This is real life with a whole lot of hope. The resolutions made sense and weren't easy fixes. I got choked up nearly as often with this book as I did Remember. Also, I read the entire novel in two days (around working my full time job.) Wonderful read. I especiall...
Third in the "Redemption" series borrowed from the church library. The last one was pretty good and I wanted to see what happened with a couple of the characters whose lives ended with cliffhangers in _Remember_.* * * * *Arrgh! I have a love/hate relationship with this series. Everything that can possible happen to these people, the Baxter family, does, always with cliffhanging chapters and characters wondering should they? or shouldn't they? Half the time I want to throw it across the room and
I keep giving the series a chance for it’s “clean” “Christian” Fiction. The writing does not improve. Cari said before that Tim completely had her heart (and that is why she was why she wasn’t leaving him after he cheated on her for her “first”, and new-found love, Ryan Taylor). Now, in her wedding vows to Ryan, after Tim’s tragic death in a previous book, she says she’s always, and only truly loved Ryan. Sorry, is this a daytime soap opera?The character, Luke’s, story isn’t much better. Neither...
This was a good comeback book for this series. I loved the first book, but the second book made me rethink reading them. This book really made me want to read the next. I'm excited to see where the characters go.
Luke, Luke, Luke. Without giving away this story, I will say that you will want to pray for him while wanting to shake him. Amazing read, if you are familiar with Mrs. Kingsbury then you will not be disappointed in this book. She out did herself.
