Loved how this story built up and got more intense as it went along. Great ending as well. Karen Kingsbury is great at writing a broad variety of story lines. A must read!

Not your average Christian Fiction

I am a Christian. I believe what John 3:16 says. I go to church every Sunday. I am raising my daughter in this faith. That being said I can't stand most Christian Fiction. With the exception of Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti, it all seems very fake. It's like a fairy tale, it always seems to have a happy ending. I am here to tell you folks, there have been periods in my life where there was no happy ending. So I do not want to read sappy love songs disguised as christian fiction.

Because of this I have never really been able to get into most Karen Kingsbury books until I found this series, the 9/11 series. The first two were amazing. They made me laugh, cry, and scream right along with the characters in the story. This book had a more solemn feel too it. It was about dealing with bitterness towards God in the aftermath of tragedy.

The main character Alex has pretty much cut off everyone he ever loved from his life. He has bitterness toward God for not sparing his Dad, a FDNY firefighter, during the 9/11 attacks. He has decided that if God isn't going to protect people from evil it is his job, and becomes a K9 officer for the LAPD.

This is a book you can read without having read the first two. It mentions the characters from the other books, in fact they play a huge part in the story. But this is not just a continuance from the other two books, it is wholly Alex's story. This book hit me at the heart of the matter. It showed me how much I try to do God's job in my own life. It also has a love story intertwined in it, that speaks to the heart of every grieving person.

This is not just a christian fairy tale, it could have been anyone who was over the age of 10, almost 10 years ago. It felt real and was written with the grieving heart in mind.

Mrs. Kingsbury did a wonderful job, and has found a place on my ever multiplying bookshelf.

Highly Recommended!

Losing his firefighter father in the Twin Towers collapse of 9/11 left Alex Brady a shattered man. Determined to prevent further atrocities from happening again, Alex fled from the people who loved him and became a police officer with the K9 unit in Los Angeles, California. Sharing the remaining remnants of his heart with his beloved police dog, Bo, Alex only makes time for his dog, his work and staying in the best shape he can, all the better to catch the ones planning evil.

Holly Brooks followed Alex Brady to California hoping to mend the rift in their relationship, but her plans met with dismal failure. Making a new life for herself working for a building entrepreneur, Dave Jacobs and his son, Ron, Holly soon finds herself in the midst of a physical and emotional firestorm she didn't see coming.

Every Now & Then introduces the emotionally distant Alex Brady into the lives of familiar characters from Beyond Tuesday Morning, Clay and Jamie Michaels and their friends, Joe and Wanda Reynolds. Karen invites the reader back into their lives with consummate ease, shedding more light on their lives since 9/11. Pleasingly, each of the characters still struggle with their past and I particularly appreciated the authentic tension played out between Clay and Jamie as Jamie is drawn back into the horror of the September day as she reaches out to the wounded Alex. More interaction and dialogue between Alex and Holly, one of Karen's many talents as a writer, would have made the book more appealing to me personally. That being said, the story is otherwise vintage Karen - deep felt emotion, engaging characters and the struggle to fathom God's place in a pain filled world with a sweet and encouraging ending.

Good book.

This book was good. Not as great as the first 2 books in this series, but it was still good. It got better toward the end.

Please check this out

I love Karen Kingsbury, as a christian you can not go wrong with her books. I love this one and just a heads up it deals with September 11th.

True love and loyalty

this story is amazing..the partnership shared between the two are
unremarkable..excellent and a must have in your library..

As ususal, the title of the book fits perfectly the story. It's fun to find the title hidden someplace within the story.

An absolutely compelling book. Like all of Karen Kingsbury books, once you begin reading it you can't put it down. The 9/11 series books takes you right into the heart of those whose lives were affected one way or another by the tragedy of 9/11. I have read 14 of her books, and can't wait to begin another. The characters in all of her books are so realistic they could be a family member or friend. What I especially like about her books is the faith-based messages she gets across so eloquently. I really hope she never quits writing.

Definitely one to read!

Gets to the heart of how individuals were personally affected by one of our nations' greatest tragedies.

Great Story

Well written. Could not put the book down. Loved the story.

I enjoyed the book, I like this author

I like her style of writing and I enjoy all her books, I donate the books to the library at church so many can enjoy. I like the series and can't wait until the next one comes out.

Another GREAT Karen Kingsbury novel!

A few weeks ago, Zondervan sent me an advance reader's copy of Karen Kingsbury's new novel, Every Now & Then. I'm a huge fan of Karen's writing and love to read, so I couldn't wait to dive into her latest book. I have to say, I was not disappointed.

The main character, Alex Brady, lost his father on September 11th, a day that many of us wish we could forget. The reality, however, is that what happened seven years ago still affects many people in our world today. They remain trapped in their pain and grief, leaving them unable to move past the devastating losses they experienced that tragic day.

In the book, Alex's mother commented that she didn't only lose a husband that day, she also lost a son. The victims of 9/11 go far beyond those who lost their lives and it's important for the rest of us to remain sensitive to those who are still struggling.

I hope this book will find its way into the hands of those needing a gentle nudge towards fully embracing their grief and finding the healing they desperately need and deserve.

It's important to note that none of Karen's books are offensive when it comes to faith. Her stories are filled with grace and are sure to be enjoyed by all readers. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to someone who is not a Christian knowing they will not only enjoy the story, but be touched by it as well.

While the story and characters are not real, there's a reason why Karen calls her writing ministry Life Changing Fiction(TM). The lessons and healing the characters find in her books are easily applied to our own personal lives.

Karen Kingsbury is an incredibly gifted author and her books are sure to be a blessing to those who invest their time and money into reading her well-written novels.

I am thoroughly impressed by the author's ability to make her characters come to life. They are so believable, they pull you into the story before you realize what's happened.

The only thing I struggled with while reading the book was the amount of detail included in the second chapter. Perhaps it was me, but I found myself on sensory overload trying to process all of the information. I think I would have preferred to have the characters introduced individually, rather than all at once.

That said, once I got past Chapter 2, I was unable to put the book down and thoroughly enjoyed reading the rest of the story. I finished the book in less than two days. :-) Need I say more?

If you're looking for a good book to cozy down with in front of a blazing fire, or perhaps something to stick in a loved one's stocking this year, I highly recommend Every Now & Then. You won't be disappointed.
