On Every Side Reader Reviews
Review by Sarah, June 27, 2011
I cried while reading this book, literally!!! It was amazing. I felt the characters pain, joy, and grief every step of the way. Once again, my life has been changed a little by the best author on the planet!! Thank you Karen!!! It really is Life-Changing Fiction!!
Plus, I am reading so many of Karen's books that all the girls in my form room, make that ,nearly all the girls in my grade, want to know where I get these books. My best friend is a Hindu, but she has read almost half of all the books Karen has written! Almost everyday we have open discussions about the bible and talking to God. She is almost at the stage where she hopefully will give her heart to Jesus!! I hope by next year, I can get the whole high school group of girls reading Karen's books!!!!

I love this book. I just started reading Karen's books, and have not been disappointed. Wow, she covers so many different, real life situations, and to know that God is in control of it all.

THIS WAS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE OF YOUR BOOKS. I WASN'T SURE I WAS GOING TO LIKE IT. I WAS AT THE BEACH AND NEEDED A BOOK TO READ. I WENT TO THE NEAREST BARNES AND NOBEL TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD IN YOUR BOOKS. THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE THEY HAD THAT I HAD NOT READ SO I GOT IT. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. TO ME, IT WAS SO TRUE TO LIFE. LIFE JUST SIMPLY, AT TIMES, DOESN'T SEEM FAIR AND WE all WONDER if GOD IS REALLY THERE AND IF HE IS...WHERE IS HE WHEN WE NEED HIM. IT HELPED ME TO REMEMBER...IT'S ALL IN HIS TIME NOT HOURS AND HE DOES KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUCH A GREAT BOOK. I READ FOR 8 HOURS STRAIGHT WITHOUT PUTTING IT DOWN!!!

I loved it. I have read almost all of Karen's books. This was good because it gave scripture to encourage. God is the only PERSON that can get us through things in this life and she met that right on!

Review by Sandy, May 11, 2007
The part I loved best about On Every side was how it showed the miraculus provision of God. The things that happend with Jordan and his sister could only have happend by the hand of God. The supernatural power of God is powerful and Mrs. Kingsbury did a great of job of portraying the reality of that in her book.

This book is simply a "must read! I just couldn't put it down until I'd read the whole thing! It made me wonder how much the media does to get rid of Christianity.... It also made me think "what if...we could meet the instigators of these sorts of things and get to know them. Could they be changed? " I really loved this book!

This book brings home the issues we face in a "polictically correct" society. It is hard to stand up against great foes, but David did it ans so can we. A must read for anyone who thinks they can't make a diffence in their world for God

i love this book! it's great! it shows the true battle within a man that can tear him to pieces or give him eternal peace! Karen did a great job of describing the court scenes and the pain that each character felt. It was like my own. Beautifully written!
