Forever Reader Reviews
Review by Rosselle Sanchez, March 30, 2012
I am a mother of 4 kids: to an almost 18 yr old son, an almost 16 daughter, a seven year old son and another 4 year old son who has some developmental delays. I am an RN and work part time in the hospital. You can imagine how busy my days could get. I got the firstborn series from my mother. One day, we visited our Pastor's mom in the hospital and my mom found these books at the lobby of the hospital and bought them for 25 cents per book donation. She gave me the books but I didn't start reading until after a week she gave them to me because of my hectic schedule. Once I started reading them, I knew that this will be part of my routine in reviving my relationship with God. I recently started attending our church's prayer meetings and these books help remind me that I must constatly read my bible and pray as Katy and Dayne did. I cried each time I see how God shows his presence in the lives of the characters of these books because I know that He does want us to constatly depend on Him, even in the most impossible situations in our lives as Katy, Dayne and the rest of the Baxters did. I shared some of the messages about forgiving in the second book of this series to my co-workers and just waiting and praying who would I share these books to. The Forever, last of the firsborn series, spoke to me in volumes especially after reading Elizabeth Baxter's letters to each of her child. Her Ten Secrets to a Happy Marriage are very well illustrated on Luke and Reagan's realtionship. I will always remember that Love acted out is serving. My husband and I had gone through a cold and lifeless relationship but praise God, we passed it now. I feel that the books are like our Christian friend who helped us through that dark stage of our marriage. If I was able to read the firsborn series within my hectic schedule, I am certain that I will have time for the other books that I will be looking forward to. I can't wait to get the other books and find out how the story turns out for Katy and Dayne and the Flanigans. Finally, books that are worth reading and sharing. I pray that God bless you continously Karen and inspire you with His Holy Spirit as you continue to touch more lives with your bneitherooks.

I really loved all the books in the "Baxter Family" series. I just wonder about one thing though, why did karen change Jamies name to Katy Hart in the remaining books in this series?

Wounderfull - Just finished reading the Firstborn series. . . It has taken my a month to read the redemption and firstborn series. . . and cost me alot of sleepless nights. . . the boosk were such a blessing and caused me to evaluate my own relationship with God and want more. . . really touched by the lives of all the Baxter crew especially Ashley and Landon . . . God is truely a God of more than the 2nd chance and you have shown that throughout these books. . . I like the reallness of Katy and Rhonda's battles with singleness and can relate. . . Nice to know that I'm human and nice to see how the answer to those times is in just keeping on keeping on in the work God has for me to do and drawing closer to Him as you soo wounderfully depicted in the life of Katy. . .. Thank you soo much Karen. . . May the Lord continue to bless you and anoint your type writter as you walk in His devine will for your life. . . God Bless

I have to confess that I love Karen's job. I love the way she writes and the way she portrays the "love story" of the couple whom belong to two different worlds. Never before have I read a book, in such a short amount of time, as I did with this series. I spent less than six months reading all five of these books. They were addictive. Honestly, I couldn't stop reading. Chapter after chapter, since the first moment I started the book, Fame. Also, I must confess, I wanted to cry with Katy, with every obstacle and tough situation in her life, especially when Dayne had his accident. I feel like I can identify with her. One of my dreams was to become an actress, not because of Fame, but because I saw through this "form of art" as a way of expressing my feelings. Like Katy, I learned that it can be dangerous to be in a world where your life cannot any longer belong to you, but others. I am engaged too, and I love my fiance. I see him, in parts of Dayne. Thanks for reminding us that God is always here, no matter what the situation is in our lives. We need to believe, have faith, and to let Him work miracles in our own lives. I really want to let karen know that God had been using her, and her writing, to help change my life. God Bless you Karen, for allowing us to enjoy our "job" for many more years to come.

All 5 of these books are simply AMAZING. I didn't want the series to end. When Dayne gets hurt I cryed. It was so touching. I want to read the "Sunset" series so bad.
