Redemption

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.

Redemption by Karen Kingsbury has greatly influenced me. Kari is one character that I would desire to emulate from this book. She has a love for the Lord that stays strong during all the trials and hardships she faces. Her faithfulness to God and to her husband taught me a lot about life and being willing to forgive others. A verse that encourages Kari often throughout the book is 2 Corinthians 12:9: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Through Kari's example of living out this verse, I learned to rely on the Lord's grace during difficulties.

As usual, Karen Kingsbury has captured the essence of the struggles that we have just getting through everyday life. In conjunction with Gary Smalley, they give us hope and a better understanding of how to stay true to ourselves and our faith. Absolutely inspirational!
