I love the Baxter’s tv show! It has become one of my favorites! Please make season 4 and 5! I am almost sure, everyone will love that the tv show has more seasons. God bless you!
I recently picked up “The Baxters a prequel” in our public library while I had my 5 kiddos there. I have been looking for years for a Christian book series with a deep plot. I am sooo hooked! I read the “4th book” today in 1 day. I have never done that in my life. I love reading this series and how what I wanted as a Child, to have this healthy Christian family with my parents marriage being an amazing example to me, it never happened for me. I love reading the stories to help me envision what my husband and I could build for our children. I love how they all have such a faith and are for eachother. I love this this series is so real, that Christians have problems just like everyone else does but that we have God to hold onto to get through them. My husband and I have been through a lot in our marriage loosing our first child, a home fire that took our home away and the loss of my dad to cancer more recently at his young age of 61. Its so healing to read this series and it not be a perfect family with a perfect life. Those stories are hard for me because my family certainly hasn’t had that whatsoever. Thank you so much for writing this series its amazing!
@tammyblankenship6786 me too! I actually had real event in my family that is like one of her books. My mom and sister where going out for breakfast and got in a head on collision. My sister almost died. My mom's lungs deflated. My sister was flown sitting up in an orange helicopter because a piece of the car went right through her body. She had internal injuries and a spinal cord injury. She said she felt everything going black and repeted jesus help me over and over to keep from things going black. It went through her body in such a way that it didn't hit anything that couldn't be fixed. She was stuck in the seat. It was a maricle she survived and 6 years later she's able to walk. And most of the issues are fixed. She has a large crater out of her spine but it didn't hit that part that paralyzed her. It was close to my parents house so my relative was the fireman that responded.
I still have pictures of the Baxter Reunion in Bloomington,In.. Live about 30 minutes from Bloomington. It was such a special time. I have read all of your books.
I used to watch Scott on young and restless as Ryan . I remember when he died on it cried my teenage heart out . Remember him and Melissa in half of dozen babies to . Love this week episode
Karen’s books got me into reading again, thanks to my mom, many moons ago. We went to her book signing in the early 2000s … so grateful. I’ve loved Melissa Reeves since Days… She is still so beautiful. Love these two together
This was so amazing!! Back in the day I used to watch Days of our Lives!! Melissa's character was one of my favourites. I think it's so encouraging to see famous stars giving their lives to Christ! So inspiring and awesome!!
What an awesome podcast! Loved getting a glimpse into Scott and Melissa’s lives, and hearing how your lives connected. I’m looking so forward to watching Someone Like You! So thankful for the day God wrote you into my story, Karen…it’s been such an amazing life changing adventure! Great is God’s faithfulness!
I love the Baxters too! I’ve read every one of Karen’s books! In fact, I’ve read all the Baxters twice and can’t wait for the series to begin. I’m also enjoying these weekly talks. Now that you are so, so busy with everything else, I’m wondering if there will be any more Baxter books in the future.
I just found out about #TheBaxtersShow on #AmazonPrimeVideo this week❣️ I have just begun watching the first season; but, it is absolutely a wonderful show❗
The Baxters mean so much to me, I started reading them around 2011 when 14 starting with the Bailey Flanigan series I fell in love with this family you created. I ended up reading 15 books in two months. I can't wait to see them in the show. 🤍
we were Support to be on that Cruise but Unfortunately I was in the Hospital Fighting for my life 10 days of pain I have Hydrocephalus but I Eventally meet you two and your Precious kids
I’ve read every book I got my hands on. I’ve lost count of how many times I have used your explanation of the difference between temptation and yielding to a temptation - answering the door or inviting them in for a coke. Thanks so much for sharing your gift.
The Lord knew what was ahead for the Baxters and what a gift that He allowed your dad to see it and speak such words of life over your work. Our words matter! What a precious memory with your dad, Karen. This touched my heart so much.
I love the Baxters to my hearts content it is by far my favourite series. Ive read nearly every book and I cant wait to still read the updated ones and watch the tv show it has grown so much and Im so proud of everyone who has been involved in making such a successful series of books and now episodes. Praise God for His providence for you. ❤
Love the Baxters... I actually live very close to Bloomington.. and when I read them... I would find myself wondering if they might be at Lake Monroe today!! Hahaha😂😢
Love this! I would like to read your books. What is the order of them? I love Missy and Scott Reeves. I have watched them when they did soap operas back in the day. I am glad there are movies you are making in this season of life that are Christian and refreshing. I don't watch much TV anymore but I will watch The Baxters and whatever else you have made for film. 😊❤
Scott and Missy are two of my very favorite people! I know they're celebrities, but they're so down-to-earth, and CHRISTIANS! I ask you, do grandparents come any cooler than this pair?! 😄❤️❤️
This is an awesome podcast ,I have never watched Scott and Missy as actors, but he sure sounds like he is the right one for his part for this Movie. I have enjoyed hearing about your stories and how you became friends. I am going to have to watch it again. Looking foward to next week's Podcast. ❤
What a blessing to see this. Im always looking for books to read that are uplifting. I cant wait for the movie. I have lived in Burbank ca for thirty years and i used to watch dool and attend all their events. I am ao glad that God saves men and women in Hollywood who can be salt and light. I think jamie lynn spears was a believer as well. God is so good to save us. May we all continue to share the gospel in word and deed. This podcast encouraged me. Thank you.
I have read from redemption to forever. Still working on getting the rest of them. I was listening to the audio books and was sad that fame through forever is abridged.... But luckily i have the e-books so been going through again. @karenkingsbury, is there an actual show and if so where would i find it? I am so in love with this family.
The first time I read your book I felt like God was writing through you. I felt like John Baxter was the dad I always wanted. My dad was abusive. I wanted my dad to love Christ and he didn’t. My dad passed away and before he passed away he made things right and I know he was saved. I have my stepdad who is good to me and loves me. He is like John Baxter.
Karen...loving this podcast...can you tell us why you changed London's sister from Maddie to Andi...cause you have Bailey's friend Andi so how does this work?
Because Prime Video owns the rights to The Baxters they asked me to change Maddie’s name. Also the names of her parents. Otherwise it’s the same!!! The Someone Like You Movie Cover Edition of the book releases on March 5 and that version will have the updated names!
I enjoyed the faith base premise of this series, HOWEVER, there are about 3 Baxter sisters that act like they are still in high school when it comes to the men in their lives! I'm sorry I had to put it out there, but many times the way they carried on reminded me of how I acted in high school! I don't know if it was for dramatic effects attempting to keep the subject matter within PG-13 range but as grown women I expected more maturity in their characters! There were also some plots that seemed unrealistic on many of the episodes, but again I think it's for dramatic effects to lead the audience into the next episode. Also, the men seemed to always be catering to the women's every need (except for the character Erin and her spouse) and yet not much reciprocating from the WOMEN to their men and that irked me to see these men's characters act so like Beta men! Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed Roma as the Matriarch of the family, and Tim as the Patriarch, the bible verses at the beginning of every episode were very inspiring as well as the bond between the sisters although they still behaved as though they were still in high school. So having said all that, my only con to the series is I wished that the characters of the WOMEN were more mature. LASTLY, at the beginning there were two African American leads in the series and although I was not surprised when they were KILLED off, I was and continue to be terribly, incredibly disappointed in this narrative of storylines in 2024! Then later they introduced an African American man who lived in a very large home however, his screen time was limited to one or two of the last episodes of the series. Again, it's so unfortunate that African Americans still are rarely given a seat at the table and instead are offered up on the table!!!
PLEASE BRING SEASON 4
This show is amazing
I love the Baxter’s tv show! It has become one of my favorites! Please make season 4 and 5! I am almost sure, everyone will love that the tv show has more seasons. God bless you!
I love The Baxters. I have laughed, cried, and gone on every adventure with them.
Oh wow! The Baxters are dear to my heart. And I'm so thankful they've touched your heart as well.
So have I! I think I have read the entire Baxter book series!" Coming Home"killed me!

@@KarenKingsbury1 ty that is kinda what I was thinking but the Andi threw me off.ty for answering!!
Did Scott and Missy have a role in the tv series? The Baxters?
