Lessons from the Baxters


Love, sex, prayer, sickness and adoption are just a few of the themes tackled in Karen Kingsbury's (with Gary Smalley) Redemption series of five books about the highs and lows of the Baxter family. I have been encapsulated by this fictional family.

What I love about these books is the wide range of topics discussed. I enjoyed the fact that this Christian family is far from perfect. They struggle with everything from their faith the fidelity. There are doubts about God's existence and fears about contracting HIV from an adulterous affair.

Kingsbury produced a masterful creation. You will fall in love with this family from the beginning and experience every emotion along with them. Stay tuned for much more on these incredible books.
