Take Two: Above the Line, Book 2

The reason I chose the 3 star rating was that I haven't found this series as riveting as the "First Born series or the Sunset series. I have fallen in love with the Baxters . I feel like they're almost like family.The Above the Line series characters have been harder to get to know. Having said that as I've finished reading book 2 in this series I find myself experiencing a gamut of emotion. From being frightened for Andi's wrong choices & where it will lead to Kelly's refusal to surrender to God. When I look at what is happening in our world I am grieved. Hope in Jesus Christ is always there. It's never too late for redemption! I get so excited about this in real life I want to jump up & down & say " Yay God!!"So guess what? I have to read book 3. I know I will be thrilled with what God will do!

The thing I love about Karen Kingsbury's books is that they are very well written, about real-life situations, real families with problems that they must work together to overcome, they aren't trashy, even when they involve romantic interests, and they link into the characters we come to love in her other stories. It's like getting to know a whole community the more of them you read! I liked this series because it takes some very real temptations, ambitious goals, and shows how one person's decision can bless or destroy things they love, and also that there is always love and forgiveness and a way back when we make mistakes, even if the results of our choices cannot always be changed. I love how naturally God fits into these people's lives and shows an example of how that can be real. Excellent reading!

As expected, the usual well written novel with an interesting cast of characters. I have as usual immediately continued with great anticipation to "Take Three".

I loved the straight forward profession of faith in Jesus Christ in this novel! The characters seemed real to me. So real that I wanted so much to talk to them! This was an experience of empathy and God's true ability to touch deep into our souls if we are listening and receptive!

Karen Kingsbury is absolutely fabulous. Her characters in each book are so realistic and the story lines are Captivating. I love how she shows Gods love and forgiveness, his grace and mercy and how we can have a real relationship with Him. He is real. Love her for sharing Him with her readers.

Enjoyed for most part, the books so far of this series... is a little redundant... drawn out. Isnt a real page turner, have to put book down from time to time when too predictable...

Those are good questions and I liked everything in this book. I can hardly wait until I have time to read. I love the characters and the families that are involved. Karen Kingsbury is my favorite author and I love her faith and family. Seems like I know them personally.

That blends a variety of people together as they seek to strengthen their relationships with God. The story is like a tapestry where God is weaving lives together to honor and glorify Him. Wonderful and I look forward to the next book.

Love the whole collection, beautiful story lines

Just brilliant. Anyone who wants a series of books to fall in love with and to cry along with, purchase the entire Above The Line series! (And the entire Baxter family series's too!)
