The first two stories in the series were pretty good, the last one was o.k. These three were the least favorite of the stories I have read of hers (I have read 6). I would recommend it though and they were well-written and entertaining, but I recommend some of her others before this series, Oceans Apart, One Tuesday Morning and Beyond Tuesday Morning were excellent.

As always Karen Kingsbury has a special way of getting to the heart of the matter. She is the most insightful writer I have ever read. All of her books deal with everyday concerns. Christian's are not perfect, they make mistakes and wrong choices just like everyone else. Karen shows us that God never leaves us, even when we choose to leave him out of our lives for a season. He's always there waiting for us to turn back to him.I love Karen's books and can't wait for the next one to come out.

Kingsbury is one of the easiest-to-read authors I've encountered, yet her prose does not sound elementary or dumbed-down. She weaves a fabulous story and keeps a reader turning pages for hours at a time.

The stories in this volume are not her greatest, but they are worthy and compelling. My biggest complaint with Kingsbury is that too many of her characters share the same first name -- sometimes even in the same book. Let's start placing bets on how many Kingsbury characters will be named Jake or John in her career.

Of the three, "When Joy Came to Stay" was the best. It's a very moving, honest work that offers insight into depression and hope.

This collection was wonderful. I especially enjoy how the author takes the reader on a start-incline-peak-descend-safe home journey. Wow! You feel every emotion, and you picture every scene and place. Thank you, Karen!!

I am extremely happy with this product. It was exactly as expected and well worth the little money spent on it. I love Karen Kingsbury books and three novels in one is a great treat for me. I received this product in a timely manner and would definitely recommend it to any Karen Kingsbury fans out there.

I am a fan of Karen Kingsbury. These were good stories, but none have captured my heart and attention like The Redemption Series. If you haven't read them, go ahead, I dare you to start as you won't want to stop. Karen Kingsbury has a gift for writing in a way that most anyone can relate to as your heartstrings are pulled in surprising ways. Check out the fisrt book of the series ..... Redemption.

I have loved every Karen Kingsbury book that I have read, and this collection was no exception. She is a wonderful author and always pulls the concerns of everyday Christians to the forefront of your mind using still interesting fictional plots.

Bought this book at Christmastime for myself. My daughter went out and bought the same book and spent sooo much more! What else can you say, the author is Karen Kingsbury! Great book really good condition. Seller was very prompt. Thanks!

Karen Kingsbury is my favorite! These books are fun, emotional and encouraging. I always come away from one of her books having been challenged in my relationship with Jesus.

Karen Kingsbury is my favorite Christian fiction writer. I often find myself taking notes over certain situations in her books to use in teaching classes at my church. Her characters are real and we learn, as they do, spiritual lessons which apply to life.
