Found

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars, I loved it. And I cried sooo much during this book. I also stayed up till after 12 every night this week because I was THAT addicted to this book! I love Karen Kingsbury's books!

This may be a fictional story, but nothing is fictional about the power of the Holy Spirit. I love, love the street ministry scene. Surreal, but I believe it happens.All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment. Each one heard their own language being spoken!Acts 2:4,6

it really don't get better then the baxter family ❤❤❤ cant wait to read family:)

I LOVED THE ENDING.

This was a instense book. Normally I can read throughout the day while my family is watching tv, but this time I had to focus to really understand all that was happening. Dayne is finally coming to terms with his past and discovering how to fill the emptiness in his life. He has done well in the entertainment business but never really felt happy. Ever since he met Katy Hart he has been looking for a simplier life one that is more normal. He has been thinking about the Baxter family alot and wond [...]

boy, this book was super intense and super exciting and just everything anybody would ever want in a book. finishing the book, I was supper happy with all the progress made in it by many of the characters. for example, dayne and his adventure to Mexico, john Baxter finding his firstborn ((and talking to him!! eek!!)) Ashely's baby boy being born, and the relationship with dayne and Katy. although I do wish that the dayty (yes, I just made that up) relationship would move faster because everyone [...]

Excellent book! Hard topics, adoption and abortion, pain of making wrong choices. God can take a mess and make it a message! Her. 29:11

I am so engrossed in the lives of the Baxter family, their friends & Dayne that I can not wait to begin the next book in this series!! Highly addicting!!

Many ways to be found. Another in this series that I cannot put down and have a hard time waiting for our library to send the next one of! Fast, clean and emotional read.

This was an amazing 3rd book! John Baxter is determined to find his first-born son, the one he and Elizabeth gave up a long time ago. He tries to go through Dayne's agent, who decides that it's not worth it.There is going to be a Baxter family reunion, and John originally plans to tell his kids about Dayne then, but, due to a sudden tornado heads their way, John decides to hold off in telling his kids.What made me so happy towards the end of the book is when Dayne finally got the nerve up and fi [...]

Finally!!!!!! I skipped a few parts because there was a lot of reviewing of past characters but know authors do this often. Once again another book More Tears LOL I really can't put the books down because I want to see what happens and I am so invested in the characters.Love the way she shows how God works through all situations.

So Awesome!I have now read 8 books in the Baxter Family series and can't wait to start #9. This book had a lot of unexpected events, but some of the ones you expected to happen finally did. Love this series and this family!!

Anticipationady to read the 4th out of 5 in this series

Best of the series so far! Powerul!

Made me cry!

I was not able to put this book down. It is a delightful novel to follow Forgiven. This might yet be my favorite novel of the series. Losing myself in the well-spun storyline was great. Just following through D. Matthews' life felt like a whirlwind and this gave several closure on previous events and series.I suppose the only thing I could warn others is that there is such a deep emotional aspect in these novels that tap something deep within us. Perhaps that would scare several people. A litera [...]

Driven is a way to describe John Baxter. He sets off with gusto on his wife's last request to find their lost son in this book, hiring a private investigator, and attempting, in multiple ways to find the son that he had to give up 36 years before.Searching is the word to describe Dayne Matthews. Even though he doesn't really realize it, he is searching for belonging, for meaning and for God in his life. He draws comfort from his good friend and potential love-interest Katy Hart after suffering a [...]

This story was skillfully written, I was caught from the beginning. John Baxter driven by his wife’s dying wish made an attempt to find their firstborn son one they had to give away as a young couple. Although the couple went on to have other children they never forgot their first born. He knew there would be lots of questions from his children since there was never a mention of another child.He was trying to find this son before their upcoming family reunion with one of the daughter knows the [...]

FOUND, the third book in the Firstborn series by Karen Kingsbury was amazing! Dayne Matthews’ world continues to get more and more complicated. Just when he thinks he will be able to set the record straight and start a relationship with Katy Hart, he receives information he can’t ignore. With his back against the wall, he does what he knows is right, even if it means the end of his chances with Katy.John Baxter is doing everything he can to find his son, the one that he and his deceased wife [...]

Dieses Buch hat mich fazienierd wie schnell ein Mensch sein Lebn änder kann ist doch mal wieder worüber man mal nachdenken sollte. Ich denke das es ein sehr gelungenes Buch war und passt perfekt in die Serie mit rein. War sehr dankbar das Er sich verändert hat für sie aber dann auch festellen musste das Er sich nicht für sie verändern sollte sonder für Gott. Leben ist genau so: Aufeinmal kommt was auf dich zu womit du schon immer Probleme hattest und dann plätzllich musst du damit rechne [...]

Rolling hills is what comes to mind thinking of this book. I ascend a hill, get to the top and read faster to get to the next scene. I lost a lot of sleep over this read. I cried a lot of tears over this story. I felt the excitement, thrill and heartbreak.Anyone would want the Baxter family to be their next door neighbors. They were a loving family with everyday challenges. There was a void in their hearts left by an adoption many years previous. Would he be found? The storms in the book were in [...]

I think after reading 8 books by the same author and about the same characters the flaws begin to stick out above the good parts. Kingsbury has several phrases that she uses frequently: close the distance between them, look into the (deep, untouched, secret) places of his/her heart, found his/her eyes and held them. others. They start to detract because where they once were clever or insightful they become trite and over-used. She drags out major plot points as if that's what needed to get reade [...]
