The Baxters by Karen Kingsbury

★★★★★  What a sweet set - you'll love the Baxters. They experience most of life: illness, heartbreak, family and work challenges, yet keep their faith at the center. Start with this prequel if you want a clean novel series with spiritual content. Oh, and there are romances old and new to keep you smiling.

I'd also recommend this if you're a politician or manager trying to understand the American Christian worldview. Kingsbury nails the interests and aspirations of healthy Christians as they face challenges in this compelling and interesting story.

You'll like the people, relate to the circumstances, and look for the next books once you turn the last page of the saga. Good luck in reading only one of these!
