Item description for Time To Embrace (Updated) by Karen Kingsbury...
Overview
After reconciling, John and Abby Reynolds must deal with new challenges after John faces a crisis at work and is seriously injured in a car accident. Reissue.
Publishers Description
Their whole life together has been a series of miracles. Can they really hope for more? After overcoming a crisis in their marriage, Abby and John Reynolds are experiencing a season of joy and restoration. For the first time in years they're making time to enjoy life and embrace each other. And John loves his coaching job...at least he did until high-school politics make him wonder if it's time to quit. As they wrestle with that situation, something greater rocks their world. A car accident causes Abby and John to suddenly face a future they never imagined--all because of one teen's thoughtlessness. Fumbling for forgiveness and hoping for a miracle, they must remember what is important and cling to that above all else. God is moving mightily in their lives...if they can just hold on to Him and each other. The second novel in Karen Kingsbury's celebrated series about the resiliency of love, the power of commitment, and the amazing faithfulness of God. |

Reviews - What do customers think about Time To Embrace (Updated)?
 | A Time to Embrace Oct 8, 2009 |
| Not one of my all time favorites of Karen Kingsbury but I still enjoyed it. | | | | Good Book, Good Series Jan 10, 2009 |
Overall, I really liked this book, and it's prequel "A Time to Dance." My only complaints are rather silly ones...but, it made no sense to me how Abby found out about Kade's problem with looking at porn--she got an e-mail about it?? What?? What college boy is going to give porn site's his mom's email address? That made no sense at all. And then with Nicole getting pregnant; I'm all for accepting God's plan for you, even if it doesn't coincide with your own, and loving your baby, but Matt was entirely too cool about the whole situation. He said "oh, baby's are blessings" (which, I agree, they are), like that somehow meant it didn't disrupt their plans, and was great. I guess my point is just, you can be grateful to God, and accept his plans, but that doesn't mean you have to be so thrilled that a baby is coming at an inopportune time.
Despite how this may have sounded, I really did like this book and many many more of Karen's--sometimes I just think she isn't very realistic. | | | | Another Kingsbury great Jun 23, 2008 |
| I am so glad that Kingsbury decided to continue the saga of the Reynolds family. Although I didn't enjoy this as much as A Time to Dance, I thought it was a great book. The one negative that I will say is that it was predictable. Overall it is another great by Kingsbury. | | | | Uplifting and Inspiring Sep 4, 2007 |
A Time to Embrace was a wonderful sequel to A Time to Dance. In this book Kingsbury shows us the importance of trusting in God through all of the seasons of life. A Time to Embrace stresses the concept that God's ways are not our ways. We need to trust Him no matter how devastating our situations are.
I found this book very real to life and inspiring. Although the average person doesn't often find themselves in such extreme circumstances as John and Abby in this book, individuals can relate to such situations in their own ways. I would recommend A Time to Embrace to anyone who might be doubting their faith in God or having difficulty understanding uncertain circumstances in their life. It will help uplift and refresh your spirits.
| | |  | Typical outcomes Jul 24, 2007 |
While I thought this was a good book, I felt that it was just another Kingsbury predictable story. There's always some grand tragedy in all of her books (I've read 90% of them), things always resolve themselves in a good way. A character is given a 1% chance of living and always does. I'm a huge believer in trusting in God and following his plan, but most things in her novels are wrapped up in pretty little packages.
I was also bothered by the times where she practically rewrites A Time to Dance since I already read it. I skipped over those parts (and there were too many of them to count). The plot lines are typical, someone is struck by tragedy, someone loses their faith, someone reconciles with someone else, and faith is gained again. It has happened in all of her novels that I've read so far. I, like most others, thought the Kade story line was irrelevant. No need to cram in every moral lesson in one story.
My husband said, "If it's so predictable, why read them? Haven't all of her stories been this way?" I'm the type that just can't stop reading a book and will push myself to get through it. I just read these because my mom bought them for me, and I didn't want to look ungrateful. I'm taking a break now!
The book is ok, but definetly not the best. Try the first couple of books on the Redemption series. No need to finish the series, though. It's just like all of the other books. | | | Write your own review about Time To Embrace (Updated)
