Publisher's summary

The Baxters is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Roma Downey and Ted McGinley.

A story of tenacious love and longing for a lost son, from Karen Kingsbury, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of “heart-tugging and emotional” (Romantic Times) life-changing fiction, co-authored with Gary Smalley.

A Shattered Relationship
Luke, the Baxter family’s golden boy and only son, has walked away from everything that mattered most to him: his faith, his family, and Reagan, his only love. Devastated by the events of September 11, 2001, Luke decides that life is random, faith a fraud, and God a fantasy.

A Secret
A baby is about to be born, but with Reagan a thousand miles away in New York City, Luke has no idea he’s the father. Now, though, someone in his family learns the truth. But she has a secret of her own, one that will change the Baxters’ lives forever.

A Revelation
What will it take for Luke to return to the family who loves and aches for him? And what extremes will a certain young firefighter take to help bring the Baxters together again, and in the process, find his place in the family?

This touching novel in the bestselling Christian fiction series 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.

We like lost sheep have all gone astray . . .

The continuing story of the Baxter family is a legacy of God's faithfulness. As the mother of five grown children, it blesses me to read/hear this multi-generational story of God's love. This is the third book in the series, and the struggles that the Baxter children encounter are hard ones. With each battle that they face, even their own foolish rebellion against God, they learn . . . learn who they can trust, who loves them, and ultimately who has been with them in the valley all along. Can't wait to get the next books in the series.

Beautiful Story of Love and Forgiveness

JWright
The Baxter series grabbed my attention with the first book “Redemption.” Karen Kingsbury includes the Lord and our lives in Him unashamedly.

Journey of the Baxter Family continues.

This story is a reminder of how God pursues us when we stray from Him.

Yet another good one

This is the 3rd one in the series and it was just as good as the others. You get to know these family members so well and can't wait to see what twists and turns their lives take, all the while seeing them draw closer to God.

Not my favorite narrator

The book was good, the narrator is not my favorite. I also prefer for the transition between chapters to actually say "Chapter _" it helps me find a good stopping point when I'm busy.
