Really there is nothing to list here. Anytime anything came up that may have been listed as concerning it was beautifully addressed by a loving Christian family.

Our Thoughts

This is our favorite book we have reviewed to date for Christian families. Absolutely fantastic. While the Patricia St. John books, which are also all near the very top of our list of favorites, are incredible reads to help a child truly understand salvation and sanctification, this title shines by showing what a Christian family should look like. This book is exactly what we want our children to see, that we are imperfect, but radically changed by His love. It is especially helpful in seeing what we want to see in the loving relationships of a husband and wife, parents and their children and siblings with each other (a favorite saying from Mom is that your best friends are those around the dinner table each night). God is reverentially referenced and there is prayer throughout. Jesus is specifically mentioned. There are so many wonderful moments and small, sweet events. Maybe the best news is this is only the start of a whole series of books. HIGHLY Recommended.

Plot SummaryNote: This information is typically from the publisher.

Much-loved storyteller Karen Kingsbury’s Baxter Family books have captured the hearts of millions who have come to think of the Baxter family as their own. Now Karen Kingsbury and her son Tyler Russell tell the childhood stories of the beloved Baxter children—Brooke, Kari, Ashley, Erin, and Luke—to inspire and entertain younger readers. --- Brooke is the perfect older sister. For that reason, Kari and Ashley work hard to make their parents just as proud of them as they are of Brooke. Each girl has her own talents. Brooke is an excellent student. Kari is a great soccer player. Ashley, a talented artist. And they are always there for each other. --- But when the news comes that Dr. Baxter is moving the family from Ann Arbor to Bloomington, Indiana, and the Baxters need to leave the only home and friends they’ve ever known, no one is happy. Saying goodbye is hard but the family still has what’s most important—their faith and their love for each other. --- The first book in the Baxter Family Children series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury and Tyler Russell tell the story of what it was like to grow up in the Baxter family, the best family ever.

Scripture Reflection

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

— Joshua 1:8-9
