#1 Redemption:
When Kari 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.
#2 Remember:
Convinced she could make it on her own, Ashley Baxter has kept the most important people in her life at a distance—her family, the man who loves her, and the God she is sure can never forgive her. Now, just as she begins to open her heart, the events of September 11 rip into Ashley’s world and she is led to heartbreaking and hope-filled decisions that will forever change her life. This story vividly illustrates that we must value others more than ourselves, and it drives home one of Gary Smalley’s key messages: Honor one another.
#3 Return:
This touching novel reunites readers with the Baxter family and focuses on the only Baxter son, Luke. He is determined to leave his faith and his past behind and embrace a new, free-thinking future. But what he doesn’t realize is that his past holds a secret even he doesn’t know. When Luke finds out, his comfortable new life is turned upside-down, and he must turn back to his roots.
#4 Rejoice:
In the continuing saga of the Baxter family, Brooke Baxter has achieved everything this world has to offer—a prestigious career, a beautiful home, and two wonderful children. Her recent return to her faith is an encouragement to her family. But if she faces tremendous loss, can her fledgling faith and her rocky marriage survive?
#5 Reunion:
Plans are being made for a family reunion. Nearly all the adult Baxter children have a reason to celebrate—except one. As the preparations get underway, a deadly diagnosis sends shockwaves through the Baxter family and threatens to tear them apart.

Memorable and Emotion-Packec
I began reading first the Prequel because I was looking for a Christian fiction to read and my maiden name is Baxter. What a delight to find this family of Baxters! Well, not all exactly a delight. I found myself occasionally wanting to have one of those long talks with those Baxter kids!One note: While I found the books very well written, even riveting, I found that I didnât really care much for the TV series. They were too much like Soaps for my taste. Sorry.

Sandra Burr nails it in this series and Karen Kingsbury is my new favorite author! This is one of my best buys yet!
I am only almost through the first story and am in love with Karen Kingsbury and am a big fan of the amazing Sandra Burr! Nobody can beat her as a reader! She reads and creates the characters like magic. I am transported to the lives of each one of the characters and she is so convincing! When the mom or the dad or a little boy or young girl talk… I am picturing them because she makes them so real. I drive almost two hours a day back and forth to work and I am so in love with this writer and the series. I don’t dread my drives anymore. My wish would be that all of these books be transferred to MP3 formats and I will definitely keep buying them all!I was a little weary about my purchase because another reviewer said that the last disc was bad and so Amazon sent another and it was also bad (why wouldn’t they check first? Seems like a LOT of trouble to go through twice!) I will be so disappointed if that is the case here because I have had one MP3 sent to me twice with both not working and just gave up.But to give less stars for book it’s self seems wrong. I am ready to buy every one of her books that are on MP3 format! FIVE stars before I even finish the first one. I am so excited that there are more.This first book about redemption is so well written. It takes you through each character’s perspective as it introduces future main characters and has me hooked. Every time I get into my car I am excited now! It is like looking forward to a favorite show in my head each time I drive to and from work and on longer trips, I don’t dread them anymore. This story has already blessed me. It is not contrived at all. I kept jumping back and forth feeling frustrated with Kari’s decision and it shows how you are blessed when you follow God’s leading but that it’s not as easy as some formula, this story weaves in and out of your heart like a fine tuned instrument. I totally recommend it! If you are tired of reading about every move your favorite characters make in bed and in vivid detail you will find this writing refreshing. There still is plenty of passion but with class and taste.I will be back to update and tell you if the last disc works… even if it doesn’t for the price four books is a great deal!

The best books
Through hard marriages, dealing with tough life choices and everyday life, there is hope in all situations. The theme of redemption truly rings through the whole series. These books made me laugh, cry and feel sorrow. But, in the end m, Godâs love is shown through each and every situation. I canât recommend this book series enough.

This series is Karen Kingsbury’s greatest
If you have not had a chance to read or listen to the Redemption Series by Karen…this is the one you need to get.As other reviewers have mentioned though, the audio is abridged and that might pose a problem for some. I had read the books first and so I was able to follow what was going on. Though I still would not discount the CD series.Karen’s writing is a blessing and encouragement In this series she follow the multi generational family of the Baxters. Through the story, you come to see a family that deals with real issues and conflict and pain and misunderstandings. Sometimes in Christian fiction, you don’t get that honesty.For me, Karen was able to draw me into each character that I felt like I knew the family very well. They were a diverse group of family members.I just did not want the story to end.I re read the series twice and then purchased these CD’sI ended up donating them to our local library as I wanted to share this story with people who are looking for good writing that is not filled with violence and sex.It is refreshing to find such an author.

The importance of faith and family
Karen Kingsbury weaves together a beautiful story of the Baxter family and their faith in God. Each book focuses not only on a theme, but also a particular member of the Baxter family. By the time you complete the series, you will feel that you know the Baxter family as well as you know your own family. You will have laughed, cried, and rejoiced with this extraordinary family. The Baxter’s story is not about religion, but about a relationship with God and how faith in God alone makes life worthwhile.

Like the fact its so human, but we can overcome our problems by facing who we are, then make the necessary changes. People are not necessarily thinking what we think they are. Be not afraid to ask questions to assure we are correct in our thinking. Do not enable wrong thinging – seek answers! The answers are not blowing in the wind, but in a relationship with our heavey Father, who shows us how to love and forgive others as well as ourselves, which then brings us love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, n temperance, of such there is no law! Rejoice in our accomplishments with the good, good life, given by humbling yourself for the answers.

Before I owned a kindle I bought these books and loved them. Now that I have a kindle this was my first purchase. Even though I read these over 5 years ago, this is an amazing story and so happy Amazon sold the series in a collection.
