"Kept my attention all the way through. Not as fast moving as some of her other books,but still kept my attention and was worth reading. Kristen always makes her characters real, they all have conflicting emotions, imperfect lives, etc. Just the way the rest of us do. Lance, for example, unsure of how to handle his gift, and the conflicting emotions that come with it. Yet, he never fails to remember to give God the glory for the things he is able to do with the gift God has given him. I highly recommend any of her books!"

" Ah! What can I say about this book? I was sooo sad when it ended! Sofie's story is amazing! And I love how Lance and Rese's story also wrapped itself up without taking away from Sofie's story....even Rico and Star seem to have a happy ending even though they are supporting characters Loved Loved this book and the entire series!! As the author states in her acknowledgements......To God be the glory! Beautiful series from beginning to end! "
— Maritza, 2/20/2014" I feel like Heitzmann tried to do too much with these books. She never really resolved Lance and Rese's story, at least not with any depth simply because this book focused on Lance's sister Sofie and her "boyfriend" Matt Hammond. Their story I liked but it felt crammed in the wrong space. They should have had their own book after the whole Lance and Rese story came to a conclusion. Also, I'm not a huge fan of Lance's sudden propensity to performing miracles. While I'm not ruling out the possibility (God is limitless and all powerful), it just feels like deus ex machina. Heitzmann's writing is phenomenal as usual. I just don't like this book as much as her others. "
— Jeni, 2/6/2014" It was a good conclusion to a good trilogy. "
— Katherine, 2/1/2014" Love Sophie and Matt! As we know...All things are possible with God!! "
— Sue, 1/28/2014" Great series. Book three got a little strange, but I loved following the characters through three books. "
— cheryl, 1/3/2014" Better than the second one. The shift to more of a focus on Sofie as opposed to Lance and Rese did not bother me. It's not like their storyline was dropped, it just wasn't the main focus. "
— Emily, 12/30/2013" I really got into this book, and enjoyed the interaction of all of the characters and their faith. However, the ending felt forced and not realistic, and left me disappointed. "
— Jpmurphyslaw, 12/24/2013" I like this book, however the story lines of the frist two books hard a much stronger story lines that keep you guessing how it was all going to end up. infact this was the second time i have read these book and still think your great. "
— Hannah, 12/6/2013" This book wasn't as complex and strong as the first two in the series, but I love the trilogy. "
— Suzette, 11/6/2013" I believe this would be a first book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed this psychology romance. I have not read the first two books in the series however I was able to completely understand and follow the story. I would love to read more of Kristen Heitzmann books. "
— Lucy, 11/3/2013" fun series, good characters and theme of redemption "
— Mina, 10/2/2013" Okay, so the 2nd book ended kind of lame but the 3rd book finished off the series pretty well. I'd listen to them againg. "
— Christine, 9/24/2013" Good conclusion to a very deep and emotional story, where every character had major issues. But after focusing on Lance and Rese for 2 books, it was hard to for me to transfer attention to Sophie and Matt. "
— Lauren, 8/28/2013" This series was good, however it had way too many problems to overcome and was depressing in just thinking of one family having to handle so many different challenges. I have enjoyed Kristen's books , but probably won't read a series of hers again. It took way too long to solve anything. "
— Toni, 7/30/2013" I think there could be way more to this story and that it shouldn't be the end! "
— Tammy, 6/19/2013" did not read the predecessor book and was able to follow along anyway; liked the quick pace of the book, but felt it was unrealistic how everything seemed to work out for everyone. life isn't a nice little package where all the ribbons get tied up, or maybe i'm too jaded. "
— Gerianne, 5/9/2013" This whole series was great!! The characters were so real! I cried while reading every book. "
— Erica, 3/27/2013" Loved the first two books in the series, but this final book I had a hard time with. I still really enjoyed the characters, but I had a hard time with Lance and his "healing"powers. I think she took it a bit too far. Otherwise enjoyed the storyline and really enjoyed Sophie and her struggle. "
— Suzanne, 2/26/2013" I liked this third book in the trilogy best, the second almost as much, and both of them more than the 1st book, although that was good, too. I'm not even sure I can say why, except maybe just getting to know the characters more through each book made them more sympathetic, maybe? "
— Brenda, 4/26/2012" love love love this series "
— Heidi, 3/26/2012" Not a bad book--3rd in a series. I had a very difficult time remembering the first two books as it had been so long since I read them. "
— Melissa, 2/26/2012" Finally a great ending! Would've continued the series had there been more books! I really enjoyed relaxing with these. "
— Evelyn, 1/21/2012" very good last book in a series - read in order "
— Janet, 10/12/2011" Once again, just okay...still enjoyable though "
— Aubrey, 6/25/2011" Can't even tell how thrilled I was that a 3rd book was written!Not as good as the others, but still enjoyable. "
— April, 4/11/2011" did not read the predecessor book and was able to follow along anyway; liked the quick pace of the book, but felt it was unrealistic how everything seemed to work out for everyone. life isn't a nice little package where all the ribbons get tied up, or maybe i'm too jaded. "

— cheryl, 6/11/2010" Obviously the last of a series. Maybe if I had started at the first--- but didn't care for it enough to read the others now. "
— Susan, 5/26/2010" Finally a great ending! Would've continued the series had there been more books! I really enjoyed relaxing with these. "
