Review # 1 was written on 2009-04-07 00:00:00 Steven Feemster On Every Side is, yet again, another one of Karen Kingsbury's masterpieces. Kingsbury tells the story of a young lawyer with a broken heart, a news anchor with a past, and an insecure religious lawyer who are brought together through divine appointment. Jordan Riley is mad at God because He took what little family he had away. Faith Evens has only ever known one way of life. That's a life totally and completely committed to God. However, Faith finds it difficult to stand for God when her long lost childhood sweetheart arrives to take Him out of her life. Joshua Meek recently suffered the loss of his best friend and business partner. When the biggest trial of his life comes up, this lawyer feels as though he is not adequate to take it on. I adored this book from the very first page. Kingsbury relates this book back to the bible story of Moses, Joshua, and the battle of Jericho. I love how she took bible characters and brought them to life in a modern day setting. It's abstract, yet obvious at the same time. Also, a bit of a love story is woven in as well. It gives detail without anything perverted. I also like how she brings scripture in and makes it seem as though God himself is talking to the characters. It's really neat how she pulled this very different and interesting book together. If you like suspense, Christian fiction, romance, and encouraging books, this is definitely a book you will want to read. I would say it's geared more toward an audience of females in their teenage years and up. Of course, I'm sure the male population would enjoy it as well.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-02 00:00:00 Erick Maillard My word, I don't know how many times I cried while reading this book! This book struck many different cords in me. This modern day account of the Jericho experience was absolutely moving. The adoption of Rosa, the reunion of Jordan and Heidi...everything was so moving. It made me think about how far I am willing to go for the cause of Christ. Being an adoptive parent, this story just made my heart melt. I read many of the reviews prior to reading this book and for those that had a somewhat negative review...well, to each his own but this book is a 5 star in my opinion...to God be the glory Karen. I don't know how you do it again and again but I am glad God gives you the grace to do it...
