“A dear friend handed me A Time to Dance, and it was the beginning of some much needed deep healing in my marriage. Just knowing that others could walk through muddy waters and make it through to the other side gave me hope and a sense of relief that maybe, just maybe, I too could be okay again. Thank you, Karen Kingsbury!”
—JO ANN, Dickinson, ND
“Karen Kingsbury’s work always reminds me of God’s grace in my own life, especially the times I really didn’t deserve it! After each book, my faith is stronger, and I can’t wait for the next book to come out!”
—NANCY, Salem, IL
“I just love all of Karen Kingsbury’s books. Every one has touched me in a very deep way, relating to one or another ‘storm’ I have gone through and yet giving me hope that God is always there, carrying us when we don’t care anymore whether we live or die. I have been to that place, and God did lift me up from the depths of sorrow and pain! Thank you so much!”
—HENRIETTA, British Columbia, Canada
“Karen Kingsbury’s books never cease to amaze me. When I finish reading one, I not only feel connected to the characters and the events; I feel that I have walked in the presence of Christ and that He has spoken mightily to me. I always cry when I finish one of her books … tears to say good-bye to the friends I’ve come to know and love and tears of thankfulness to my heavenly Father. I can’t wait to read the next one!”

“My grandmother has been diagnosed with dementia. Right after her diagnosis, she asked me to bring her some books. I took her everything I own by Karen Kingsbury, which is about ten books. She devoured them! They encouraged her and gave her hope.”

“A friend recommended A Moment of Weakness. I gave it to my teenage daughter at the time and she read it as well. It opened up a chance to discuss remaining pure until marriage. She is now twenty-two and married a few months ago as a virgin. We had many other discussions, but your book hit home where my lecturing may not have. God has given you a very special talent, and I am sure He is smiling at your use of it. Thank you!”
—KATHY, Livonia, NY
“Karen Kingsbury’s novels have not just touched my heart but also my soul. When things go topsy-turvy in my daily life (as with four children they sometimes do), I often think of the Scriptures I’ve read in your books. Your books have not only kept me up at night anxiously waiting for what is going to happen next, but more important, they have helped me in my walk with the Lord.”
—STEPHANIE H.
“As a biblical counselor, I have used several of Karen Kingsbury’s books to reach the hearts of many of my clients. They have been most helpful in this respect, but I also admire Karen’s courage in speaking out on tough issues within our Christian culture.”
—SANDY K.
“The greatest impact Karen Kingsbury’s works have had on my life was to help me with forgiveness. Not just to say the words, for that’s what’s expected of me, but to actually feel it in my heart. I marvel at how God has used you to work in my life and the lives of countless others.”
—HARRIETTE, Durham, NC
“I’ve read several of Karen Kingsbury’s books, and after finishing them, I was challenged about the depth of my surrender to whatever the Lord allows in my life. Thank you for taking me to another deep place with my Father.”
—PAULA M.
“From Karen Kingsbury’s very first book to her most recent, she has inspired me to be a better person, have a stronger faith in God, and to question how I am raising my family in a world filled with hate and evil.”
—PATTIE, Oceanside, CA
“When I went off to college, I fell into a dark depression but convinced myself that Christians not only don’t suffer depression, but that it is inherently un-Christian to be depressed … I bought When Joy Came to Stay and read it in one sitting … I was able to receive treatment for my illness and work on dealing with events and behaviors that led to this depression. The book made it easier for me to see that God can use even dark times to bless us and help us grow.”
—DEIDRE E.
“Karen Kingsbury’s fiction has helped me with my family problems. Karen’s books have taught me how to stick together with my family through thick and thin. They have taught me that even when your family may be having a tough time, never give up.”
—ASHLEIGH, Fairfield, CA
“I can’t tell you how much Karen Kingsbury’s books have blessed my life. The novels make me think seriously about what commitment means, sticking it out even when all seems gloomy, and understanding the covenant of marriage.”
—NATA, Nigeria
“Karen Kingsbury’s fiction is so easy to identify with. These books have been a source of refuge in my emotional struggles after going through marital difficulty and divorce. It helps to know that someone understands what people like me go through!”
