Forever - Review by Alexis Tennant

Are you looking for a book to tug at your heart strings? A book that will ultimately give you a new, stronger sense of hope? If yes, then pick up the novel Forever by Karen Kingsbury, book one of its series. Kingsbury gives you a story about a small town girl whose dreams all come true but at the same time experience the ups downs of marrying a well-known actor.
Karen Kingsbury is known for her compelling, uplifting novels, and Forever is no exception. Kingsbury has written over forty life-changing books, the Firstborn Series lying in her top ten. The author places this novel in the twenty first century, and creates a place that thousands of small town residents can connect to.
Katy Hart is one of those characters who the author imbeds into your heart that will last for a long time. Katy is from a small town in Indiana called Bloomington, “the kind of town that treated people like family and friends” (Kingsbury 6). Katy’s actions always reflected the relationship she had with God, even when she meets the guy of her dreams, Dayne Matthews whose position in the public eye easily causes problems.
Katy’s fiancĂ©e Dayne is Hollywood’s hottest actor. The couple comes from two different sides of the world it seems. Dayne struggles with keeping the script and his director’s mind clean. He also has the constant struggle of fighting off the media, which in return puts his life in jeopardy.
Kingsbury attracts her millions of fans once more, keeping her genre the same, christian fiction. Her characters always lead a life that would please God. Karen Kingsbury creates a bad situation just so her readers can learn from the characters faith and determination to put it all in the Lords hands and sit back and watch the miracles happen.
Its no mystery what Kingsbury is trying to teach you! A message that everyone needs to learn in their life: when you put your faith in God, miracles do happen!
