Story line was good， but there were things that were just super implausible， such as a first-grader saying things like， "Nice to meet you， fellow prisoner" （referring to school）。 I've worked with a lot of first graders， and the conversations in this chapter were just really hard to take seriously。 And then when he's under anesthesia， he's singing and talking and all these things that happen AFTER surgery， not before。 There were just a lot of little moments like this throughout that made it a har Story line was good， but there were things that were just super implausible， such as a first-grader saying things like， "Nice to meet you， fellow prisoner" （referring to school）。 I've worked with a lot of first graders， and the conversations in this chapter were just really hard to take seriously。 And then when he's under anesthesia， he's singing and talking and all these things that happen AFTER surgery， not before。 There were just a lot of little moments like this throughout that made it a harder read for me。 。。。more

Going to see the movie this week。 But wanted to read the book first。 What a story of twist and turns。 But in the end， chose life。

This is a novelization of an upcoming movie by the Kendrick Brothers and I am now so excited for that movie！ This is a story of adoption and it's really beautiful to look at it from each angle - the angle of the birth parents， the angle of the adoptive parents， and the angle of the child himself。 Because the beginning of the story starts with the teenaged birth parents and then the whole second half is heavily focused on the teenage adoptee， I feel that this one also works quite well for teenage This is a novelization of an upcoming movie by the Kendrick Brothers and I am now so excited for that movie！ This is a story of adoption and it's really beautiful to look at it from each angle - the angle of the birth parents， the angle of the adoptive parents， and the angle of the child himself。 Because the beginning of the story starts with the teenaged birth parents and then the whole second half is heavily focused on the teenage adoptee， I feel that this one also works quite well for teenagers who are interested in adult Christian fiction and I have put it on my kids' potential high school reading shelf。 Although teen pregnancy is an important part of this story we never see any graphic depictions of the situations that led to le bebe。 *I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Chris Fabry and the Kendrick Brothers， LLC team up again to bring another fantastic heartwarming story！Melissa had a tough life after her parents divorced。 She stayed with her dad， but after he remarried， he spent less time with her and more time with his stepchildren。 Before long， she decided it was best to leave home behind and move in with her boyfriend， Bryan。 What she never counted on was getting pregnant。 After much turmoil， she decided it was best to put her baby up for adoption so that h Chris Fabry and the Kendrick Brothers， LLC team up again to bring another fantastic heartwarming story！Melissa had a tough life after her parents divorced。 She stayed with her dad， but after he remarried， he spent less time with her and more time with his stepchildren。 Before long， she decided it was best to leave home behind and move in with her boyfriend， Bryan。 What she never counted on was getting pregnant。 After much turmoil， she decided it was best to put her baby up for adoption so that he could have a better life than she could give him， but she never forgets about him， thinking of him often。 Susan and Jimmy Colton have had heartbreak in earlier pregnancies and trying to adopt a child。 On a whim， Jimmy decides to resubmit their application letter when they receive a call that a mother in Indianapolis has chosen their family to be the recipient of her baby。 Both Jimmy and Susan have always been open with their son， David， about his adoption and have been supportive if he ever wanted to reach out to his biological parents。David has always kept the topic of his adoption closed except for the people who are closest to him。 When he gets a call from the legal team of the adoption agency that the birth mother has updated her contact information， he decides to make contact to appease his parents。 He never expected the flood that would be released in the future！As usual， the Kendrick Brothers idea mixed with Chris Fabry’s storytelling makes for a fantastic story！ The plot is a pro-life story and the good that can come out of choosing adoption over abortion。 It is predictable， but a story like this is intended to be， especially because of the bigger audience， but someone might find this book who is in this situation and be riveted to see what can happen when you look at a bigger picture。 I love to read books before watching movies and this will be no exception。 There will likely be a little bit of storyline removed for the movie， but only enough that it won’t be that noticeable。 It was easy to relate to the characters and Melissa’s predicament was well written。 I love the way this story comes full circle from beginning to end！I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher。 The views and opinions expressed within are my own。 。。。more

Chris Fabry’s Lifemark is a companion book to the newest Kendrick Brothers’ movie production of the same name。 I am a fan of both Fabry and the Kendricks。 At this writing I haven’t seen the movie， however based on this book I look forward to seeing it。While it might be convenient to categorize this story as a pro-life and pro-adoption story， Fabry’s skilled storytelling brought out a compelling and inspirational story。 Just a good story that happens to include these themes。 Unwanted and/or incon Chris Fabry’s Lifemark is a companion book to the newest Kendrick Brothers’ movie production of the same name。 I am a fan of both Fabry and the Kendricks。 At this writing I haven’t seen the movie， however based on this book I look forward to seeing it。While it might be convenient to categorize this story as a pro-life and pro-adoption story， Fabry’s skilled storytelling brought out a compelling and inspirational story。 Just a good story that happens to include these themes。 Unwanted and/or inconvenient pregnancies aren’t political—it’s about people。 Life’s complexities and heartache and the exhausting emotional commitments to these “issues” were so beautifully depicted。 I have to say it again: it’s about people。 And Chris Fabry knows how to write the stories of people’s messy and complex lives。I highly recommend this book for fans of Chris Fabry’s gritty yet wholesome and inspirational storytelling。 Whatever your political position， I encourage readers to see the story behind the people facing difficult decisions， with an open heart。I was given a free copy of #Lifemark from Tyndale House Publishers through #NetGalley for my honest review。 。。。more

This is one of the best books I've read this year。 It's a beautifully written story that is full of emotions， once I started reading it， I couldn't put it down。 It deals with abortion， adoption， family， hope， and second chances。 This book is full of God's grace， mercy and forgiveness。 I can't put into words how good this book was。 I highly recommend this book。 It deserves more than 5 stars。I received a complimentary copy from Tyndale House Publishers via NetGalley and was not required to write a This is one of the best books I've read this year。 It's a beautifully written story that is full of emotions， once I started reading it， I couldn't put it down。 It deals with abortion， adoption， family， hope， and second chances。 This book is full of God's grace， mercy and forgiveness。 I can't put into words how good this book was。 I highly recommend this book。 It deserves more than 5 stars。I received a complimentary copy from Tyndale House Publishers via NetGalley and was not required to write a review。 All opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

This book is for fans of the movie only。 The story is predictable and pedantic as well as being as preachy as a Sunday morning sermon。 The message is obvious to the point of stupidity: adoption is good， abortion is bad。 No gray area， no middle ground or moral confusion is present here。 The novel's saving grace is the appeal of the characters。 Even the antagonists seem like decent people。 This book is for fans of the movie only。 The story is predictable and pedantic as well as being as preachy as a Sunday morning sermon。 The message is obvious to the point of stupidity: adoption is good， abortion is bad。 No gray area， no middle ground or moral confusion is present here。 The novel's saving grace is the appeal of the characters。 Even the antagonists seem like decent people。 。。。more
