  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;The Redemption series won &lt;I&gt;Christian Retailing&lt;/I&gt;'s 2005 Retailer's Choice Award for Best Series!&lt;/B&gt; &lt;p&gt;When Kari Baxter Jacobs finds out that her husband is involved in an adulterous relationship and wants a divorce, she decides she will love him and remain faithful to her marriage at all costs. This book shows how God can redeem seemingly hopeless relationships, and it illustrates one of Gary Smalley's key messages: Love is a decision. &lt;p&gt;&lt;I&gt;Redemption&lt;/I&gt; is the first book in the five-book Redemption series that Gary and Karen will write about the Baxter family--their fears and desires, their strengths and weaknesses, their losses and victories. Each book will explore key relationship themes as well as the larger theme of redemption, both in characters' spiritual lives and in their relationships. Each book includes study questions for individual and small-group use as well as a &quot;teaser&quot; chapter of the next book in the series.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was recommended to me by a friend who was afraid to read vampire books!  This is the first in a series of 5, with other spin-off series too.  It examines a Christian family and their relationships.  One of the conflicts is semi-resolved by the end of this volume, but with enough other conf...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38759266">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is the first in a series about the Baxters, a religious conservative family, and their trials, mistakes, and resolutions.  It is not normally preachy, but can be repetative with a scripture or hymn, but it also has many good insights and reminders about how we can deal with life's trials. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38697674">more...</a>]]></body>
