Take Three By Karen Kingsbury Review and Giveaway {Ends 4/11}


Winner #55 - Donna 
Winner # 37 - LKnott 
Karen Kingsbury has always been a favorite author of mine.  She can draw you into a book and keep you there until the end of the book.  It is very much like her characters have a life of their own and while she is the author, there are times it feels like the characters are doing the writing.

Take Three is the third book in the Above the Line series.  While I think all of Karen's books are great, I truly believe that this one captured her heart.  Take Three takes some unexpected turns as the Chase Ryan removes himself from Jeremiah Productions and leaves the entire thing in the capable hands of Keith Ellison.  However, Keith's daughter Andi is on the verge of making a decision that could ruin her life forever.  Keith struggles to connect with his daughter and to keep from losing her while still working on the film that he believes the Lord has called him to.

I was drawn into the book immediately and cried with Andi as she struggled.  I cheered with Bailey Flanigan as she made some tough but wonderful decisions.  I absolutely loved Take Three and it is definitely on my shelf for a second read sometime down the line.

If you have not read any of the Above the Line books by Karen Kingsbury, I highly recommend them.  While these books take a look into two Christian producers trying to break into Hollywood with wholesome, inspirational movies; these books also capture the real life struggles that normal people deal with on a daily basis.  These books are inspiring, thought provoking, and life changing as they bring you challenges through the fictional lives of her characters.

You can purchase Above the Line or Take Three at Amazon or just about anywhere books are sold. 

Win It!!
