Halfway to Forever

Karen Kingsbury books are always inspiring. They are very well written. Ms. Kingsbury picks plots that are current to today's world and gives us new insights.

I long awaited some FREE time to read this book. I had read the first two in this series when I was home recovering from surgery and a dear friend brought the 3 in 1 book over to me from the library. I did not get to the 3rd one until late last year(2017) but it was worth the wait! It held my attention and kept me guessing up to the end. A must read.

The three books in this series were awesome. There is so much that can be said about Karen's books but you need to read them in order to really get the full impact. I will read her books as long as she writes them.

As with all Karen Kingsbury books and I have read them all this series was great I would recomend her books to anyone. She has written about how God has guided the character's in her stories in every day situations, through Love, Joy Hope, Death, Depair. But mostly how God can guide your life daily Jer 29 v 11 He has my life planned and I can cling to that Hope each day. Enjoy a good read and also how God is speaking to you through these stories.

I loved this book. This book was about how one couple, Jade and Tanner, dealt with Jade's pregnancy and brain cancer, and about another couple, Hannah and Matt, who were trying to adopt a little girl. This book was a sequel to 2 other books. I liked how this book integrated the events from the other books into this book.This was an emotion-packed book, with Tanner struggling over the possibility of losing his true love Jade, and with little Grace, who Matt and Hannah tried to adopt, but lost her. I was moved to tears at their loss and at how Grace went through so much with her mother. I was moved to tears when Hannah and Matt got to adopt Kody.This was a fine Christian book that dealt with Biblical principals with getting preachy. Kingsbury has a knack for doing that in her books. This book discussed Jade's struggles with whether she committed adultery by remarrying after divorcing (and if God was punishing her by giving her brain cancer), and with anger & bearing grudges, like with Hannah after her loss of Grace. These issues were resolved in a very sensitive manner. And then there was the struggle that Tanner had in why bad things happen to good people. I think we can all relate to these struggles.It is good to have characters who are Christians, yet, are flawed. It makes it so much easier to relate to these characters, to know that God loves us, despite are problems and imperfections.I look forward to reading more from Kingsbury. I can't wait for her series with Gary Smalley.

I have read In A Moment of Weakness, Waiting For Morning and then placed an order for Halfway to Forever before it was released. Karen Kingsbury saved the best of this series of books for last. She stated that we were saying goodbye to Tanner and Jade, Matt and Hannah in Halfway to Forever. I don't believe I have ever enjoyed a series of books any more than I did these. Superb in every way. Karen Kingsbury is one of the best writers of this time.
