Book Review: Take Four by Karen Kingsbury

I just finished reading Take Four by Karen Kingsbury, which is the last book in her "Above the Line" series.  I really enjoyed reading Take One, Take Two, and Take Three, and this fourth book did not disappoint!  The book begins with Bailey following her dreams of performing on Broadway.   Both Bailey and Tim audition for a part in several big Broadway productions.  Tim ends up getting a lead role in "Wicked," while Bailey does not.  But God immediately opens the doors for her to try out for a part in the movie "Unlocked" with one of Hollywood's most famous young stars, Brandon Paul. 

I loved watching the story unfold as Bailey witnesses to Brandon and sees how God is able to change and use him.  Readers get to see the dreams of Keith and Dayne unfold through Jeremiah Productions, but Karen keeps it "real" in that their journey is not always an easy one.  They face many trials and hardships along the way, but the journey is worth everything they have to go through to get to the end.

Finally, I loved how Karen unfolded the story with Andi.  The book ends with the birth of her child, which is bittersweet.  I won't say anymore because I don't want to ruin it for those who have not read the book yet!  Just have a box of Kleenex handy!  :) 

I received a complimentary copy of this book to read and review from Zondervan.  All opinions are my own.  I hope that you enjoy this book and series as much as I did!
