Customer Reviews

Between Sundays is one of my favorite Karen Kingsbury books

Anyone who reads this story about what God and love can do will be a favorite for sure. If anyone asks about a KK stand alone books, meaning not part of a series, I always list this one first.

Wow! What a surprise!

I had this book for awhile and did not want to read it because I am not a football fan. The first time I started reading this book, I could not put it down. It is one of the best books I have read. Every time I read one of Karen's books I say this is the best one yet. Well, This was this best one, I could not stop reading because I wanted to know about these people. Sweet love story!

Karen Kingbury's "Between Sundays"

What I love best about Karen's newest book is the theme. Life has a way of getting in front of the focus of our faith. Our faith in God shouldn't be centered around events - Sunday church services, Christmas, Easter - but on the everyday things we do that make a difference to others. Truly life is to be lived 'between Sundays'. For many churches, the people who attend there only show up on Sundays to make them feel like they're acting out their faith. However, they are empty inside when it comes to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. If we could just stop and think of what we're good at doing that would make a difference in someone else's life...and then do it! Once again, her book captured my attention and kept it the entire time. I have the habit of picking up Karen's book and then I keep reading until I'm done. I'm blessed and enriched and challenged and uplifted and encouraged every time I read a 'Life Changing Fiction' book written by Karen. I love passing them on, as well, to others.

AWESOME NOVEL

I thoroughly enjoyed Karen's latest treasure - I couldn't put it down. Although I do not know anythting about football, I felt myself being pulled into the NFL world and was comfortable with the terms used. The lessons of faith, redemption, forgiveness and determination to change one's heart to live for God were readily apparent, without the reader feeling it was "shoved down their throat." The hard work that foster families endeavor to make a difference for foster kids was not something I often thought about and I appreciated Karen's obvious love and commitment to foster children. I highly recommend this book and plan to pass it around to many friends and family!

Simply Amazing

Once again within the first few pages Karen Kingsbury had me hooked. It is a tear jerker from the get go. She captured my attention with this sweet little boy called Cory and the hardship he faces at only 6 years old. She shares with us how the foster program works and that there are children who are neglected as they turn 18. But she also shows us how people like Cory's foster mom, Megan do anything they can to provide a loving and stable home for a child. She tells us that yes, there are still good people out there who are willing to and want to make a difference in a child's life. And even though he is a foster child, he is still well mannered and is a good boy. I love how she talks about real life and that yes, we as humans really do mess up. But thanks to God's mercy and grace, he forgives us. I would recommend this to all readers. It shows us that through it all, God is so faithful and yes, God is GOOD!

Great Book

I have to admit that I wasn't expecting alot out of this book. I was totally surprised. I really enjoyed reading this book and have recommended it to others. Karen Kingsbury has a way of writing that makes you want to be a better person. Thank you for such a wonderful book.
