Another FABULOUS story by Karen Kingsbury. Easy to read and follow characters. Plus, it includes Bailey and Cody... who couldn't be happier with more of them? :) I enjoyed the miracles of God in this story. The only downfall.... the next one doesn't come out for two more months!

My favorite author, Karen Kingsbury, has hit a home run with her new series, Take One.
I have read the first and second, can't wait to get the third in this series! This is Christian fiction at its best!

Karen Kingsbury did it again. She wrote another book I couldn't put down and that I didn't want to end. This book is first in the "Above the Line" series, and I am so excited to read more. God does some miracles, and missionary kid has a few struggles, Bailey Flanagan goes to college, and we meet a few more Hollywood movie stars. I love reading about some of the characters from previous books that I feel like I "know", as well as meeting some new people that Karen has introduced me to. I love it!

I loved loved loved this book! I was so excited to see Bailey Flannigan as a main character, and the special appearances by the Baxter family always made me smile. I feel like I know these people, and it gave me a chance to catch up with old friends! I can't wait to read the next one in this series!

I enjoyed this first book of the series very much. Karen Kingsbury does not disappoint, and I look forward to reading the other books in the series. I'm glad the Baxter family had a role in the novel.

Karen Kingsbury has done an outstanding job relating to the future generation about morales. She connected the Baxter family into this story and brought back great memories of the faithfulness of God in their lives. My favorite verse: Proverbs Train up a child in the way he should go and when they are old they will not depart is exemplified through the Baxters and gives hope to the new producers for their families.

I've never been disappointed in the many Kingsbury books I've read. This one is no exception. Well written, good plot, developed characters. Best of all, points to God.

Awesome book! I was so excited when I found out that the new "Above the Line" series would include the characters from the "Redemption", "Firstborn", and "Sunrise" series. I can tell the storyline for this series will be awesome. Another great book by Karen Kingsbury. I love reading her books, they are so inspirational, and they remind you of God's love for regular people...
