Book #6: Ever After

I finished another book today. I totally love every book by Karen Kingsbury that I've ever read. I think this may be moving to the top of my favorite list of her books I've read. Ever After is the sequel to another wonderful book Even Now. You can read about both books on the Karen Kingsbury website (which is linked by clicking the book title above).
This book really opened my eyes to the reality of the war in Iraq and the sacrifices made by our soldiers as well as their families. The theme of the book is summed up well in this line: "Love is not possible without sacrifice, and sacrifice is not possible without love." This ties in so perfectly to what Jesus has done for us. I would highly recommend this book. Read Even Now first though!
I guess I'm a total book nerd for finishing two books in one day! ;)

Oh, I read Even Now and it was great! I actually started Ever After, but never finished it for some reason. I am going to check it out again one day and finish it. Have you read the Redemption series and then the Firstborn series follows that. Karen Kingbury is a wonderful author.

That sounds like such a great book! I have not read Even Now. Should I read it first? I have never managed to read even one book in a single day. I can't imagine two! That's impressive. I'm enjoying your blog :)
