Book Giveaway: A Time to Embrace

A Time to Embrace Karen Kingsbury

Their marriage has only recently survived a near-divorce. John and Abby are reveling in the miracle that God performed in their marriage when things grow difficult in other areas of their lives. John’s career as the head coach for the high school appears to be at an end. As he and Abby struggle to find answers to what will come next, tragedy strikes.

An accident in the middle of the night brings physical devastation to their lives. Will they be able to move forward in their lives, forgive and bring healing to others around them, or will guilt and regret overpower the miracles they know God can do?

My Thoughts

I have always loved Karen Kingsbury’s books and somehow missed the Timeless Love series. Even though I didn’t read the book prior to this one, A Time to Dance, I was able to pick up the storyline without any problem.  This particular story is one filled with grace, forgiveness and the power of faith ~ I loved it!

The Timeless Love series have recently been re-released with new covers {very nice, I might add} along with an update from Karen in the back as to where the characters in the story are today ~ always fun to see how she envisions them a few years down the road! :) The book also includes a reading group guide.

    I like Karen Kingsbury, too, but I haven't read any of hers in awhile...including the giveaway book, so I'd love to win a copy!

    The only Karen Kingsbury I've read is one she wrote for young girls about three men vying for the hand of a princess. It is a VERY good story. I'd love to read one of her books for adults!

    I LOVE to read!! And I would love a chance to own this book. Reading is how I use my "mommy time", if I ever get any! Karen Kingsbury is a wonderful author. I actually just ordered some of her books for children for our 2 daughters. We can't wait to get them! Thanks for this opportunity! My only problem is, I'm new to blogging and not sure how to link my email. Can you help? Thanks again!!

    Jolanthe,

    I enjoyed reading A Time to Dance and started A Time to Embrace, but never finished it. My church library has many of her books. It would be great to win a copy and then I would have no excuse but to finish reading it.
