Between Sundays

De: Karen Kingsbury, Alex Smith Quarterback for San Francisco 49er’s and Founder of the Alex Smith Foundation - introduction

Narrado por: Kathy Garver

Aaron Hill has it all—athletic good looks and the many privileges of a star quarterback. His Sundays are spent playing NFL football in front of a televised audience of millions. But Aaron’s about to receive an unexpected handoff, one that will give him a whole new view of his self-centered life.Derrick Anderson is a family man who volunteers his time with foster kids while sustaining a long career as a pro football player. But now he’s looking for a miracle. He must act as team mentor while still striving for the one thing that matters most this season—keeping a promise he made years ago.Megan Gunn works two jobs and spends her spare time helping at the youth center. Much of what she does, she does for the one boy for whom she is everything—a foster child whose dying mother left him in Megan’s care. Now she wants to adopt him, but one obstacle stands in the way. Her foster son, Cory, is convinced that 49ers quarterback Aaron Hill is his father.Two men and the game they love. A woman with a heart for the lonely and lost, and a boy who believes the impossible. Thrown together in a season of self-discovery, they’re about to learn lessons in character and grace, love and sacrifice.Because in the end life isn’t defined by what takes place on the first day of the week, but how we live it between Sundays.

I couldn't stop Listening!

Love this book! I usually delete a book after I've listened to it.. This story is a keeper and a reminder. Who we are does take place between Sundays!!

Wonderful book

God and football come together to make a fabulous story line. Giving your heart to God trusting in him and receiving the treasures of life. Wonderful narration and characters.

Great Narration

My husband was frequently around when I was listening to this audio book for the second time. Because it is sports-related (NOT a true story about the 9er's, btw), his interest was drawn. He liked the story, and does not read much fiction - preferring history/biographical books and spiritual studies in his busy world instead.

Between Sundays has some solid direction for fathers and is narrated with simplistic language - for instance, Kingsbury captures a child's thoughts as a child would think them. The narrator is easy to listen to with properly placed inflections and some voice changes for various characters. Karen Kingsbury attacks real contemporary social problems in this book, as she does in her other books. I typically prefer period history pieces, however, I have enjoyed every one of her books I've read (over a dozen of them so far) or listened to.

Awesome story!

I’ll admit I have become a super fan of Karen Kingsbury. I believe this book “Between Sundays” is my 34th KK book. I find myself wishing the stories wouldn’t end. I especially loved this book because the young boy never stopped believing the main character was indeed his father… because his mother wouldn’t ever lie to him. The grace of God is woven throughout the book as always and the ever present Jeremiah 29:11 continues to be KK’s primary verse of hope. If 34 books have taught me anything… it’s to trust in Gods faithful promise of hope and a future and to believe… Great Is Thy Faithfulness!
Thank you once again Karen Kingsbury for lightening my days and keeping my focus on The Presence of God.

Between Sundays

I love all your books and as usual this was outstanding. Getting ready to start my next book now!

Kingsbury Fan

I have read and listened to most of Karen Kingsbury's books. As a result, I am a big fan. Between Sunday's was not my favorite title of hers. The story is great but it seems to move a little too slowly. There were times I couldn't stop listening and other times I just wanted the story to move on. Towards the ending, I felt it was so predictable that the pace could have been picked up a bit. I still think it is worth the read, but I am not giving it five stars.

easy listening

i enjoyed this story very much, easy listening

Awesome

I will recommend this wonderful book to everyone; very touching and inspirational. Thank you Karen

Great story. Narration not so great

I really loved this story but I struggled with the narration because it didn’t flow naturally.

Great story!

I have to confess that I love football, so this book pushed my buttons. It was a great combination with love story, family, football, drama and faith. I loved it and was sorry when it was over, although I was happy to see it all resolved.
