Publisher's summary

Two unknown producers struggle to fulfill their dreams to change lives through the power of film. With millions of investors’ dollars on the line, everything starts to fall apart and they realize they may be in over their heads. Is it possible to beat the odds and make a movie unlike anything ever done before? Or, will they lose everything in the process?

Could they change the world—before the world changes them? Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison left the mission field of Indonesia for the mission field of Hollywood with a dream bigger than both of them. Now they have done the impossible: raised enough money to produce a feature film with a message that could change the world. But as Chase and Keith begin shooting, their well-laid plans begin to unravel. With millions of dollars on the line, they make a desperate attempt to keep the film from falling apart—even as a temperamental actress, a botched production schedule, and their own insecurities leave little room for the creative and spiritual passion that once motivated them.

Was God really behind this movie after all? A chance meeting and friendship with John Baxter could bring the encouragement they need to stay on mission and produce a movie that will actually change people’s lives. In the midst of the questions and the cameras, is it possible to keep things above the line and make a movie unlike anything done before—or is the risk too great for everyone?

• Part of New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury's beloved Baxter series that begins with Redemption, Remember, Return, and Rejoice, now streaming online.
• Inspirational women's fiction with plenty of heart and a thread of sweet romance.

multiple readers

I was disappointed when the original reader for the Baxter series wasn't used for this book. Multiple readers are used and I found that made it difficult to listen too. I wasn't fond of the vast variety of male and female readers. The stories are always wonderful and I enjoyed that part.

Take One Karen Kingsbury

Another great book on walking out our faith! Can't wait to get to the rest of the series! Highly recommend.

Uplifting and encouraging

Karen Kingsbury makes you want to live in her fictional world. This story has a glorious innocence about it that one does not see in our world today. The characters stand in stark contrast with every character today’s media offers. The story gives hope that such a purity could still exist & can even encourage the reader to pursue it.

Loved it!!

I love that the Baxter family is continuing and I get more of them. I also love the story line. I couldn’t stop listening to it!

Love the continuing Baxter story

Loved the book! I've listened to all the previous books, so it took awhile to adjust to having multiple narrators. It wasn't a bad thing, but occasionally it felt a bit awkward.

always great. enjoy them all

read life characters real life stories. real life God. we so easy forget to pray

Intended for College-Age kids

Great story and message. Book is written more for college age students, which is great, but disappointed I wasn't aware of it prior to my purchase of both books thru Audible.

excellent

I truly enjoy Karen Kingsbury books and the Baxter family. I've read so many of her books I'm never disappointed. it's great to be able to read or listen to a great book. Family and good reading gives you Biblical teaching too

Narration

I wanted to like this book and I am sure as a regular book it is good but I could not get past the narrator's voices. They guy was ok but the woman's was choppy and lacked the characters she was representing.

Awesome extreme Faith builder

If fireflies are for real God can do anything

Very Inspiring. Can't wait to read Take Two. Thank you.
