One of the few times I would actually recommend the movies over the books! See the movies if you can (Hallmark I think). I give the movies 5 Stars!

[Lacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought the ending was a little unrealistic, but at least everything turns out okay! By the way--the movies don't follow the books at all!

It's been years since I read these--I need to read them again to really rate them...

[Katherine · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very clean, though at times slow-moving, series of books. I enjoyed following the Christian family through their various struggles. It made me view my own faith differently.

OH! I love these books! they are FANTASTIC!!!! If you liked the movies then you'll love the books more (just expect a few things to be different)!

[Daniela · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the beginning books, but as they went one, they got more boring. Especially when all it talked about was Belinda.

[Darcy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this series when I was a teen and loved them. Simple plot lines, kinda predictable, but nice comfort reading.

[Cassandra Henry]

They are good books. Nothing like the movies as far as the dialogue.

I read the last four books of this series and loved the whole lot. They were bittersweet!
