Publisher's summary

The Baxters is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Roma Downey and Ted McGinley.

A story of redemption and love at all costs, from Karen Kingsbury, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of “heart-tugging and emotional” (Romantic Times) life-changing fiction, co-authored with Gary Smalley.

A Shocking Betrayal
Kari Baxter Jacobs is furious, hurt, and confused. Her husband, Tim, a respected professor of journalism, is having an affair with a student. Stunned, Kari returns home to the Baxter family to sort things out. But when an old flame comes back into her life, she is more confused than ever.

A Difficult Decision
How can Kari forgive her husband? What could possibly ease the pain? And what about her own revived feelings for Ryan, a man she knows she should avoid?

A Reason to Hope
As Kari searches for answers, an unexpected discovery gives her hope for the future. But when she faces her darkest hour, can she find the faith and strength she needs to move on?

Redemption is the first book in the bestselling Christian fiction series about the Baxter family―their fears and desires, their strengths and weaknesses, their losses and victories. Each book explores key relationship themes as well as the larger theme of redemption, both in the characters’ spiritual lives and in their relationships.

  • Books featuring the Baxter family include:
    Redemption series: Redemption, Remember, Return, Rejoice, and Reunion
    Firstborn series: Fame, Forgiven, Found, Family, and Forever
    Sunrise series: Sunrise, Summer, Someday, and Sunset

Very, very good book!

I am a Christian and for me it is difficult to find books that are true to God's Word. This book is one of them. The writer has remembered that God's Word is Holy. The storyline is very good, but it is not all happy-happy because life is not all happy-happy. We all deal with trials and this book reminded me most of all that "His grace is sufficient" for me and I must always seek God's Will. The characters are very well developed and have depth. The story line is not plot driven, but rather character driven and I enjoy that. The narration by Sandra Burr is excellent. I intend on purchasing and reading/listening to this entire series. If you are a Christian, you will love this book. If you are a non-believer, buy this book because it may help you to understand God's Will for your own life. Either way, God Bless and thank you Mrs. Kingsbury for being a good and faithful servant to our Lord.

Keeping the Faith.

This story reminds me that God is present in our time of need. And that he never leaves us.

Predictable

I liked the story. And the message to follow God's plans not our own. It wasn't my favorite bc I didn't get any wrap up on other characters stories. And it was super predictable from the start.

disappointed but good messages

I had to work to get through this. I think it would have read better if I had read it. I found the reader difficult to listen to: a little syrupy and dramatic when it didn't call for it. Great messages though. Still, I gained by this audiobook.

Narration made me feel like a child in kindergarte

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This narration and character Carrie was too whimpy. I felt she was a whining child narration made me feel like I was being read to by a kindergarten teacher I couldn't even finish 3 rd chapter

What do you think your next listen will be?

Not this narrator or writer

How could the performance have been better?

Narrators with more excitement in voice

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I hated it all didn't finish it
