This is a Christian series about a family. You get to peek into the most intimate, painful details of their lives. Nothing is simple, even in a seemingly perfect family. There is pain, joy, and ultimately Redemption. I read this entire series, and believe that anything written by Kingsbury will be golden. Read this, treasure it, and take it to heart. ( )

The first book in the Redemption series by Karen Kingsbury. Kinsbury draws us into the family and although they have a strong faith, they are not without flaws. I could not put it down! ( )

The redemption series is my favorite series of all times. I have become addicted to these books.

Redemption is the story of a young woman who finds out that her husband is having an affair. As the story unfolds, she struggles with the choice to forgive him or walk away from their marriage.

If you can make it through the first part of the book it is wonderful. I found the first part difficult to read simply because I didn't want to imagine the pain the character in the book was going through. The Redemption Series, as well as the other two series that follow it, are much like a Christian soap opera. The family in these books go though many trails that most people can't imagine yet they are very uplifting. Once you open one of these books I guarantee you won't be able to put it down. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0842356223, Paperback)

When Laura Baxter Jacobs finds out that her husband is involved in an adulterous relationship and wants a divorce, she decides she will love him and remain faithful to her marriage at all costs. This book shows how God can redeem seemingly hopeless relationships, and it illustrates one of Gary Smalley's key messages: Love is a decision.

Redemption is the first book in the five-book Redemption series that Gary and Karen will write about the Baxter family--their fears and desires, their strengths and weaknesses, their losses and victories. Each book will explore key relationship themes as well as the larger theme of redemption, both in characters' spiritual lives and in their relationships. Each book includes study questions for individual and small-group use as well as a "teaser" chapter of the next book in the series.
