On Every Side

By: Karen Kingsbury

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

Best-selling author Karen Kingsbury has been hailed as the "queen of Christian fiction" by Time magazine. She delivers an inspiring and emotionally riveting drama about one man's struggle with his beliefs, a woman's enduring faith in God, and the power of prayer.

Jordan Riley hasn't believed in God since before the traumatic events that marred his childhood, but when he returns to his hometown years later, he finds himself struggling between his current doubts and the comfort of his former religion.

God cares for us.

How the love of Jesus weaves in our life even if we don’t think he is there. HE fights our battles & gives us the words to say.

Karen slayed it again!

I have chuckled. I have shed many tears. I have summarized the story for my husband since I listened on headphones and he saw my tears. I have been able to envision the town, the statue, the characters with crisp clarity. I could feel the cold of the air as the story unfolded in November… and I listened in November. My heart has been warmed by the transformation and undeniable work of God.
Thank you!!!
God bless you…ALL of those who had a part. It came alive in the story presented as well as its presentation.

Creative story that mirrors Bible

I love Karen’s books overall - her writing is a gift that very often pulls me in to remember the truths of the word. In this book she creatively weaves the names of Bible characters and story lines into a beautifully written story reminding us to stand still and allow God to fight for us. I was blessed and what a wonderful reminder - we are not alone. Thank you Karen - thank you narrator 🙏🏾

Difficult to follow along at first but keep listening!! It gets better!!

It was difficult to follow along with the story at first- probably because most of Karen’s audio books are narrated by female readers, and this one is an older male reader. Not that I am biased, it just threw me off for the first chapter or two. But I am thankfulthat I kept listening, it turned out to be a REALLY good read. Different from many of her other stories because it envolved so much law and history but a wonderful story just the same of faith, family, and God’s unchanging love for us.

Love of God and fighting for freedom of religion and speech.

Love of Christ. How friendship through rough times can continue strong. God is faithful and just.

Eveything!

I absolutely loved the story line. The voice over! Everything about the story. Have tiessus ready

The Best Miracle of All

Karen Kingsbury has never left me down, she’s an amazing author of portraying love and losses, human interest with some twists and turns, triumphs and failures but always illuminating God’s love for everyone who is willing to seek him. Well done Karen and narrator Richard Ferrone..

God always wins!

I liked the symbolism in the names. The characters were believable.Beautiful storyline. The ending at Thanksgiving was sweet.

Loved the characters

Such a great book and I loved the story and all the characters! Looking forward to reading more by this author and hearing more from this narrator.

Story with a twist

I loved the Christian view point, the love, but was disappointed for the first time in the Why of the story. As Christians the family in the book should have helped the mother make plans for the children long before her death. Of course accidents are hard to plan for so in the beginning of the story I was fine, but I found myself disappointed in everyone who loved this family when I found out she had a long term illness and was being guided by a Christian family. Karen usually handles these issues better.
