"Took me a lil bit to get into it, but it was really good! The faith that Cory has in wht his mom tells him about Aaron Hill just makes my heart break. The love story that developes just make you believe that you should not judge a person on what you read or hear about them. "
— Kristen (4 out of 5 stars)
" I liked it. Enjoyable reading. She seems to have an easy style. She focuses on the lives of an NFL football player and the Foster Kids that need support. Of course, a Christian athlete is in the picture and leads the main character to Christ. Interesting to follow the path of his life, that of the Christian, the single Foster mother and the boy. "
— Carol, 2/17/2014" Kingsbury offers another tale that tugs at readers heartstrings--but there is a happy ending of course. It is set against the backdrop of professonal football and kids caught up in the foster care system. One of these kids, Cory, has been taken in by his foster mom Megan ever since his real mother died. She wants to adopt him but he is isistent he has a dad--and that dad happens to be the star quarterback of the San Francisco 49's. Megan doesn't believe that this could be true, but the efforts of another football player gives Cory a chance to deliver a message to his "real dad". What follows is the story of how this quarterback learns that what happens "between Sundays" is just as important as what happens on the field. [return]The story was good enough, the audio version I listened to was terrible. I'm sorry, but the narrator tried to hard to make different voices for the characters, but her characterizations were distracting at best. If you like emotionally laden stories give this one a read--but stay away from the audio version. "
— Deb, 2/17/2014" Predictable. If I weren't able to figure out the whole story from the dust jacket, I might've liked it better. Felt almost like a waste of my time to read, except I enjoy reading...so I enjoyed it. lol "
— Jen, 2/12/2014" This was the first of Karen Kingsbury's books that did not make me cry! I enjoyed the book, even though I'm not much into football. I thought there was a great message within the pages, and I was smiling at the end. "
— Highland-dreamer, 2/9/2014" more tissues needed :) "
— Dorothy, 1/31/2014" it so cute love it and more (religion reality great!) so cute love story and love the little boy how he opens his fathers heart and eyes again!! "
— Annabelle, 1/31/2014" This was a fun read with a fun storyline, but there's really nothing redeeming in it. Like I can't justify reading it by saying I learned something of culture or history or even something inspirational about God... nope it's just a fun read. "
— Stacia, 1/20/2014" wish i could do 3.5 stars. it was an easy read and enjoyable story. i'll keep the rest of my thoughts to myself until our bookclub meeting to discuss. kf "
— Kirsten, 1/18/2014" Trite,predictable and a bit sappy. "
— Beth, 1/17/2014" I enjoyed this book. Kind of fluff reading but the message was good. "
— Wendy, 1/13/2014" Awesome blend of sports, faith, hope and romance "
— Robyn, 1/11/2014" Excellent feel good book. Good story and message. The plot is predictable but it nonetheless keeps one's interest because you are routing for all the central characters in the book and want everyone to win:win. "
— MJ, 1/10/2014" I very much enjoyed this book! Only my second Karen Kingsbury book but its my favorite so far! "
— Emily, 12/30/2013" I will be honest. I was at the library and I was in hurry. I grab this book. It was ok. It has a good message, but it was little cheesey to me. "
— Stephanie, 12/28/2013" Pretty predictable. A big happy ending. A little preachy. But... this audio book made all the last soccer/volleyball trips pass quickly. Corey finds his dad. Megan finds true love. Aaron Hill finds redemption. "
— Jan, 12/21/2013" Absolutely a wonderful book! Being a sports enthusiast made "Between Sundays" even more enjoyable. I have read 2 of Karen's books and have loved them both. I can't wait to read more of hers! "
— Jamye, 12/3/2013" Great book! I've read a few of Karen Kingsbury's books and she always delivers. I wouldn't consider it one of my favs, but it was very entertaining and I couldn't put it down until I finished it. "

— Lauren, 6/14/2013" I listened to this while driving to Ft Wayne and back. It was good enough that I finished it up Sunday afternoon. This has a predictable story line, but is also faith promoting and I enjoyed it. "
— Saadia, 5/30/2013" This book talked about what is really important in life, really a very good book! "
— Danielle, 3/29/2013" A good book. I liked the story. In her notes at the end, Kingsbury almost ruined it for me. So, love the nook, skip the author's note. "
— Les, 11/13/2012" As with all of Kingsbury's books, it was very good. Got me hooked and I couldn't put it down. It was a little slow though I though. Not my favorite of her books. "
— Jessica, 6/26/2012" This is why I read. Books like this are worth burning 55 calories per hour, stagnating on the couch. "
— Laurel, 5/12/2012" Very inspirational! Shows that Christianity should go on every day of the week, not just on Sundays. "
— Beth, 4/11/2012" Was a nice read. "

— Stephanie, 4/19/2011" I very much enjoyed this book! Only my second Karen Kingsbury book but its my favorite so far! "
— Emily, 4/15/2011" I thought this book was very good! It took me a while to read but thats because i was reading other books for school! I loved the part when Aaron finally realized that he was Corys father! I also liked how at the end Aaron proposed to Megan! It was a good book. "
— Delaney, 2/10/2011" Predictable. If I weren't able to figure out the whole story from the dust jacket, I might've liked it better. Felt almost like a waste of my time to read, except I enjoy reading...so I enjoyed it. lol "
— Jen, 1/5/2011" Inspiring book about a foster child & the foster children program. It was hard to put down. "
— Paula, 11/14/2010" This was my first by Karen Kingsbury and I love her stories. <br/>There was a lot to think about it in this one. The relationships between the characters are compelling and it makes you examine where you are with your own relationships. "
— Rrooks, 6/18/2010" Pretty predictable. Kind of corny, but a quick read. "
— Amanda, 6/14/2010" A book about a football star and his choices in how he approaches life in between the football games. I thought it would make a good Hallmark movie - just a little goody two shoes for me. "
— Dzillich, 5/16/2010" rather predictable but had a good message "
— Linda, 5/9/2010" I love this book because I am in foster care and I beieve that it shows how some of the kids in the system are treated. I believe that this book has opened the leyes of many peopole. I believe that their needs to be more books like it. "
