The Red Gloves Collection 1-4.......2007-08-09
It only takes a few hours to read one of the novels in The Red Gloves Collection, but you will remember them for a lifetime. Karen Kingsbury chooses a character in each phase of life -- a small child, a teenage girl, a young woman, a woman in her 80s -- to show how God uses those around us to bring us closer to Him. I bought copies of this book for my grandaughter and my mother. My mother is passing it to her friends.
Heartwarming.......2007-07-12
These stories are so great. They make you laugh, cry and reevaluate your own trials and blessings. Our children should read these.
Red Gloves.......2007-03-09
This is an really great collection. I started Karen Kingsbury because my ex-mother-in-law bought me Hannan's Hope as a Christmas gift. After reading that one I could not wait to read the rest. I recommend this book and all other Kingsbury book to anyone who is down on there luck or just needs to lift there spirt.
These will become your Christmas classics.......2006-12-24
Reviewed by Cherie Fisher for Reader Views (12/06)
The "Red Gloves Collection" is four beautifully written Christmas stories that will warm your heart forever. The author, Karen Kingsbury, has compiled her four Red Gloves Christmas classics into one volume. The stories all have the same themes in common, Christmas miracles, red gloves and discovering love. At first glance, the book seems overwhelming with over 600 pages, but the print is large and the stories can be quickly read. Or it could be that they were so wonderful that I could not wait to turn the pages to find out what would happen next.
The first book in the series is "Gideon's Gift." The story starts at Gideon's wedding which is a miracle in itself. As an 8-year old girl, Gideon fought and almost lost her life to leukemia. Instead of thinking only of herself during that time Gideon reaches out to an angry homeless person named Earl. Earl had some devastating things happen in his life that led to his homelessness and has given up on life. Gideon finds this unacceptable and asks God for a Christmas miracle that Earl will believe again. God gives Gideon that and so much more than she ever could of wished for.
"Maggie's Miracle" is the second story in the series. Jordan Wright is a lonely 8-year old boy who lives with his mother and grandmother since his father passed away two years earlier. He asks God for a Christmas miracle to bring him a new daddy. Jordan's mother, Megan, reads the letter and realizes how the death of her husband has affected her little boy. She tries to spend more time with Jordan but realizes that she cannot do it all and signs him up for a Healing Hearts program that matches Jordan up with a special friend to help him. Casey Cummins is the guy that Jordan is matched up with. He has faced his own tragedies and it turns out that Jordan helps him as much as he helps Jordan. Megan has given up on love, and Casey and Jordan are determined to help her find it again. The ending has a surprise twist that proves that Casey is truly meant to be in their lives.
I loved all four stories, but "Sarah's Song" is my personal favorite. The story is about Sarah Lindeman, an 86-year old woman who is dying of congestive heart failure. Sarah has decided to live her final days out in a nursing home where she can see the park bench that has meant so much to her. She has a 12-day Christmas tradition of un-wrapping a special ornament everyday and remembering her and Sam's story - a story of great love. She knows that this is her last Christmas and that she is supposed to help someone with this story before she dies. That person turns out to be Beth, who is going through a very difficult time in her life. She has given up on her marriage. She knows that if her story is heard by Beth, that a miracle will occur and Beth's life will be changed forever.
The last story, "Hannah's Hope" delivers wonderfully too. Hannah is a lonely 15-year old girl who lives with her grandmother. Her parents, foreign diplomats, are too busy to spend time with her, including Christmas this year. Hannah's asks for a Christmas miracle to spend Christmas with her parents. Feeling guilty about Hannah's upset over the change in the Christmas plans, her mother decides to tell Hannah the secret about her birth. She has another father, Mike Connors, who her mother left years ago and disappeared without a trace. Hannah has memories of this warm loving dad begins to search for him.
This is a beautiful collection that you will treasure. I highly recommend "The Red Gloves Collection" to people who enjoy uplifting stories, who read together as a family or need an inspiring Christmas gift.
Book Description
Three Page-Turning Novels in One Volume !
Where Yesterday Lives
At thirty-one, Ellen Barrett has already won a Pulitzer prize. Sadly, though, her skill as a journalist far surpasses her ability to sort out her troubled past. When she returns to picturesque Petoskey, Michigan, for her beloved father’s funeral, it’s an emotional and spiritual journey for Ellen—a rediscovery of what is truly important and eternal.
When Joy Came to Stay
Maggie Stovall is trapped inside a person she’s spent years carefully crafting. Now the truth about who she is—and what she’s done—is bursting to the surface and sending Maggie into a spiral of despair. Will she walk away from everything, or can Maggie allow God to take her to a place of ultimate honesty—before it’s too late?
On Every Side
After suffering the loss of his mother and separation from his sister and the girl he loved, Jordan Riley fills the holes in his soul with anger. But Faith begins to disassemble the walls around Jordan ’s heart, and he realizes there’s something very familiar about her…
Where Yesterday Lives
Ellen Barrett is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist with an uncertain marriage, a forgotten faith, and haunting memories of her picturesque hometown and the love she left behind. The eldest of five siblings, she longs for the time, long ago, when they were a happy family. Now Ellen’s beloved father is dead, and she returns to her childhood home to make peace—with the people who still live there, with the losses and changes that time has wrought, and with the future God has set before her.
When Joy Came to Stay
Maggie Stovall is one of the golden people. She has it all together...at least on the surface. Ben Stovall is a godly husband and successful attorney. He has no idea of the darkness about to overtake his life. Amanda Joy is a child of society—abused, broken, thrown away. But her trust in God is still alive. When Joy Came to Stay is the heart-wrenching story of one woman’s descent into the shadows of depression, her husband’s search for understanding, and a precious child’s unwavering faith.
On Every Side
Faith Evans is an up-and-coming newscaster, a woman of honor and integrity who must take a stand against the one man she never imagined would be her enemy. A beloved, hundred-year-old statue of Jesus stands in a small-town park—but some say it’s a clear violation of separation of church and state that must come down. Jordan Riley is a powerful attorney fighting for human rights and against God, but still reckoning with bitter boyhood losses. Amid political intrigue, social injustice, and personal conflicts, will love be enough when the battle rages on every side?

What Readers Are Saying About
KAREN KINGSBURY Fiction…
“All—and I do mean all—of Karen Kingsbury’s books have touched my spiritual life in a deep way. I have recommended her books to men and women alike!”—Debbie, Marana , AZ
“Karen Kingsbury’s Christian fiction is the standard by which I judge all Christian fiction.”—Robin, Fairfax , VA
“Karen Kingsbury is our book club’s favorite author. We often discuss how each of her novels not only entertain us, but inspire us to live out our faith in a real, everyday, every moment way.”—Lynda, Covington , WA
“Karen’s books never cease to amaze me. After reading one, I not only feel connected to the characters and the events, I feel I’ve walked in the presence of Christ and He’s spoken mightily to me. I always cry when I finish one…tears of good-bye to the friends I’ve come to love and tears of thankfulness to my heavenly Father. I can’t wait to read the next one!”— Linda, Batavia , IL
Story Behind the Book
Each of my novels is a piece of my heart. Where Yesterday Lives was my first-ever novel, and as such it is somewhat autobiographical. The childhood story of Ellen Barrett, her love for her parents and siblings, is my story—though her current story and struggles are fictional. On Every Side sheds light on the struggle for religious freedom in today’s climate, something I am passionate about. Finally, When Joy Came to Stay is the story of one woman’s battle against depression and the secrets of her past.
Customer Reviews:
Christian fiction at its best.......2007-03-11
Karen Kingsbury is my favorite Christian fiction writer. I often find myself taking notes over certain situations in her books to use in teaching classes at my church. Her characters are real and we learn, as they do, spiritual lessons which apply to life.
Karen Kingsbury's book are the best.......2007-01-09
As always Karen Kingsbury has a special way of getting to the heart of the matter. She is the most insightful writer I have ever read. All of her books deal with everyday concerns. Christian's are not perfect, they make mistakes and wrong choices just like everyone else. Karen shows us that God never leaves us, even when we choose to leave him out of our lives for a season. He's always there waiting for us to turn back to him.I love Karen's books and can't wait for the next one to come out.
Awsome Author.......2006-11-10
Karen is a very annointed Author and I am ready every book I can get my hands on. You won't be disappointed with this selection!
Awesome!.......2006-11-07
This collection was wonderful. I especially enjoy how the author takes the reader on a start-incline-peak-descend-safe home journey. Wow! You feel every emotion, and you picture every scene and place. Thank you, Karen!!
Devoured the entire volume in one weekend.......2006-07-30
Kingsbury is one of the easiest-to-read authors I've encountered, yet her prose does not sound elementary or dumbed-down. She weaves a fabulous story and keeps a reader turning pages for hours at a time.
The stories in this volume are not her greatest, but they are worthy and compelling. My biggest complaint with Kingsbury is that too many of her characters share the same first name -- sometimes even in the same book. Let's start placing bets on how many Kingsbury characters will be named Jake or John in her career.
Of the three, "When Joy Came to Stay" was the best. It's a very moving, honest work that offers insight into depression and hope.
Book Description

Inspirational Tear Jerker.......2007-10-08
This is a great inspirational story about how kindness can change a person's life. An 8-yr. old cancer patient befriends a homeless man at the mission and gets him to believe in God. It's a wonderful story that shows how God changes hearts.
Gideon's Gift by Karen Kingsbury.......2007-07-09
Gideon was an angelic little 8-year old girl with leukemia. Earl was a cranky old homeless man who didn't have a kind word for anyone he met. Fate brought this most unlikely pair together for a very special reason in a book by popular Christian fiction author, Karen Kingsbury.
A simple pair of red gloves and a little girl's genuine concern for others has created an unforgettable holiday story for all seasons. In only 148 pages, "Gideon's Gift" takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride that isn't really over until the very last page has been read.
This is a great "sampler" of Karen Kingsbury's writing talent.
Gideon's Gift.......2007-01-13
An excellent book depicting faith, compassion, life's true values and God's master plan.The characters are real and can be identified by all. Becoming discouraged and giving up is a tendency we all have. THis is a "can't put down" book.
Beautifully written, heartwarming story.......2006-12-26
Oh wow. I have no words to describe this story and how it touched my heart. I read the last quarter of it through tear-filled eyes.
I am going to have both of my daughter's read it because I can't think of another story that exemplifies the true spirit of Christmas as powerfully as this one does.
I'll always remember that Christmas miracles happen to those who believe. And I happen to have a pair of red gloves that were given to me by a friend that won't let me forget.

Christian reading.......2007-01-04
I buy these books, after reading them myself, for my great-granddaughters
who are 11 and 13.
They are actively involved in their church activities and love the books.
The 13-year old is an avid reader and the 11-year old is quickly becoming
one with Karen's books.
Thanks to Karen Kingsberry for wholesome reading and the gift of believing in miracles!
Great book.......2005-12-14
Okay I am not plugging another book, but if you read "Tuesdays at Morrie's" you will love this book. It is for anyone that lost hope in God, Love, or just life in genreal. Faith is what it all boils down to. I picked it up and read it in a day. I had no idea what it was about but after the first page I could not put it down. As you read you feel for the character and their pain/joy. I especially loved the part that she incoporates Sept. 11th into the story line. I have ever intention in reading more of Mr. Kingsbury books. I look forward to the eye opening experience.
An enjoyable Quick Read.......2005-04-20
The nice thing about the Red Glove Series is that they still have an interesting plot and a testimony of faith, but they can easily be read in one sitting. This book was easy to get into. I didn't read the bookjacket before reading the book and so was surprised at how the story progressed. Megan is a bitter widow who overworks herself, since her job is what she loves. But Megan has an eight year old son who misses his father and how they used to play together. Megan reads about a mentorship program that matches grieving children with adults that are willing to offer the services to play with and support the children. She quickly signs up her son Jordan and waits for the response from the agency.
Meanwhile Jordan is waiting for a letter he wrote to God to be answered, praying for a Daddy like the one his friend has. Both of their wishes seem to be granted when Jordan is matched with Casey, who owns a cafe in town and so has flexible hours. Casey becomes a significant part of Jordan's life, and when Megan takes the opportunity, a significant part of hers as well. It takes a lot for a heart as hardened as Megan's to love and believe again, but Kingsbury makes it work out. Though this book is a quick read, I wouldn't really call it a light one, but it's definitely worth reading.
A Very Sweet Book.......2004-07-08
This book was about Megan, a high powered lawyer who didn't believe in love due to a series of events in her life. Then there is her son Jordan, who prays for a new daddy and who wants her mother to believe in love again. Then enters Casey, who is matched with Jordan through a Healing Hearts program. Casey is struggling to overcome the death of his wife and baby.
This book was very short and to the point. But in such a short book, Karen Kingsbury was able to fully develop the characters, so that we saw why Megan didn't believe in love.
I loved the characters in this book, especially Casey. He is struggling with his grief, but he is able to help someone else out. I also loved the "Red Glove" theme in the book, about red being the color of giving. And I loved how Megan was eventually able to believe in love again.
I really enjoyed this short little book. I haven't read Gidean's Gift, but plan to get a hold of that book, too.
The Red Glove series gloriously continues!.......2004-02-12
The Red Glove series has added another success to its name!
This novel, though short, has a lot of life within its pages.
Though the ending wasn't really a surprise, it was such a 'feel-good' book it doesn't matter if you're surprised. I found myself grinning during the happy times, as the climax built up, and getting teary eyed during the 'looking back' phase of the book.
No matter what, you will finish the book and be grateful you have a heavenly Father that looks out for you ....... in bad times and most especially in good.
Thanks Karen Kingsbury, for your dedication to providing quality fiction to readers that like a good, clean book to relax with at the end of a long day!

Hannah's Hope.......2007-07-09
Hannah lived with her wealthy maternal grandmother in a stately mansion that lacked the warmth and feeling of family that the maturing15-year old girl craved. A private school and extracurricular activities took up most of her days, but couldn't take the place of the mother and father with whom she rarely spent time.
Her mother hadn't exactly been "mother-of-the-year" material, choosing a life of travel and social prestige over raising her only daughter. She demonstrated her love for Hannah in ways that she felt were proper; the best education, private instruction in dance, voice, and piano.
When she decided not to abandon her busy schedule to spend this Christmas with her daughter, she decided to give Hannah something to console her during the holidays. She told her the truth about her father. Hannah was shocked to find that her biological father was not the man who helped to raise her, but the mysterious man she had seen in her dreams for as long as she could remember.
Hannah's search for her father leads the reader to the battlefields of Iraq before the emotional conclusion in "Hannah's Hope", Karen Kingsbury's last novel in The Red Gloves Series.
A Lovely Read.......2007-01-05
What a lovely read - especially at Christmas time. It warmed the heart.
Believing in and Creating Christmas Miracles .......2005-12-14
During our annual Christmas break from school, the boys and I typically take a lazy afternoon in pajamas and share a special Christmas book. As they've grown older, we've evolved from picture books to lovely inspirational novels. Our selection for this year will be Hannah's Hope by the inspiringly prolific Karen Kingsbury.
Hannah's Hope (Warner Faith, October 2005, hardcover, 176 pages) is the fourth installment in Kingsbury's popular "Red Gloves Series". The series combines compelling stories of love, faith and belief with real world opportunities for service to others.
Hannah's Hope is both an encouragement and a page-turner. From multiple perspectives, the book tells the story of a trio of family members separated and isolated both emotionally and physically. Teenage Hannah appears at first glance to "have it all". She is a busy, intelligent, wealthy girl attending the best school and keeping up with an active extracurricular life. As we come to know Hannah's heart, however, we recognize her acute loneliness, brought on by the fact that her parents live halfway across the world due to their careers.
Hannah's mother, Carol, hasn't let being a mom slow down her drive and ambition. She's made the tough choices, even though this has meant leaving her daughter to be raised by an unfeeling grandmother. Carol daydreams about her eventual run for political office and hiring her daughter as an intern - perhaps then they can have a close relationship. Upon informing Hannah of an impending separation during Christmas, Carol reveals a major surprise that will change the course of Hannah's life.
Carol's secret introduces us to a third character in the book, Mike, and to his life as an officer and helicopter pilot in Iraq. Separated from the only family he knows, Mike longs to be reunited with someone special, and finds a true faith in God and the power of prayer along the way.
Hannah's Hope offers an exciting plot line and a few twists that will keep readers glued to the story. But the true value of this lovely book is in its message of faith, family and belief. If we believe that God ultimately loves and provides for us, we can turn to Him in faith regardless of how insurmountable life's problems and difficulties may seem. He hears us, and in His own way responds to our prayers. Our Christmas miracles may not be as dramatic as Hannah's, but His love for us makes great things possible for each and every one of us.
I am looking forward to sharing Hannah's Hope with my family this season. The "Red Gloves Projects" listed at the end of the book offer wonderful ideas for reaching out to and supporting the men and women of our military, who may be serving far away from loved ones this holiday season. Along with praying for our own Christmas miracles, perhaps our family will have the opportunity to create a few miracles for others in need or lonely this Christmas. It is thanks to our belief in the greatest holiday miracle, the birth of our savior Jesus Christ, that we celebrate this season. In Jesus' name and with his example, sharing love and belief with others should be at the top of our Christmas list this year.
intriguing inspirational.......2005-10-09
While her parents reside in Sweden as her father is the ambassador there, fifteen years old Hannah Roberts lives with a cold grandmother in the DC area while wondering why no one loves her. She looks forward to her parents coming home for the holidays, but that dream is shattered when she receives an email from them informing her that they are too busy to see her. A depressed Hannah sadly prays for a "Christmas Miracle".
Her mother realizes that Hannah is unhappy so she decides to tell her daughter the truth about her biological father, Mike Connor. Hannah now knows her dreams of having fun when she was a child with a loving nurturing adult male were more than just a wish. She searches for her dad, but comes up empty until he hears her plea on TV. Mike tries to make contact before undergoing a dangerous mission in Iraq. When she learns her dad's mission turned deadly and dangerous, she focuses on the hope that her "Christmas Miracle" will come true.
The fourth Red Gloves tale is an intriguing inspirational in which the young heroine cannot understand why she is neglected by her parents who are busy playing diplomat. Though she handles the shock that her mom's husband Jack is not her biological father rather easily, fans will feel Hannah's angst and needs and have some of their own as they wonder; in spite of expecting the obvious that we know deep down will happen, whether a miracle will occur as the heroine hopes. That is the ability of Karen Kingsbury as she keeps her fans enthralled with the idea of will or will not a miracle occur while lifting the spirits of her readers.

Wonderful story!.......2005-11-22
This book is one of those you may find difficult to put down. It is a sweet story and I enjoyed it so much I have losned it to all my friends.
A lovely tearjerker of a book.......2005-08-18
I finished this book in one afternoon. The time flew by and I kept turning the pages eager to see what happened next. I love this type of story.I have always loved to see elderly people in books and movies turn back the clock and share the memories of the passionate love affairs of their youth. Besides the eloquent writing, the book also had good underlying messages.
A sweet story.......2004-12-28
The love stories described in this book were wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Sarah's story and how she became
reunited with the man that she loved, through a song she wrote just for him. I loved how she used her story and song to
minister to Beth, who is struggling in her own marriage.
The story reminded me of the return of the prodigal son. Sarah ran off to Nashville to chase a dream, leaving the man that
she loved. Only, she gets entangled into such a negative lifestyle. Broken, she returns to her parents, who welcome her
back with open arms. And eventually, she is reunited with her loved one with open arms. And the same with Beth, with her
husband.
I loved the Red Gloves theme in this book as well, and how Kingsbury used each letter of "The Red Gloves" for each of the 12 Days of Christmas that Sarah uses to tell her love story. And the Red Glove ideas for ministering to the elderly were great, too.
Short and sweet.......2004-12-14
This is a very quick, but sentimental read. About an elderly woman who has one last gift to give in her life-a miracle. She just has to find out who to give it to. The story is heart warming and, though short, you get a real sense of the emotions felt by the characters, especially Beth and Sarah. It is a great Christmastime read, and worth recommending to friends, especially those who need a pick-me-up. As all of Kingsbury's books in the Red Gloves series, the author places a special pair of red gloves for us to find in the book, as well as "Red Glove" project ideas for us to do in our own lives. Very commendable. I would recommend this as a great short read for you and your family this Christmas season.
A warm, meaningful Chistmas Story.......2004-12-04
Karen Kingsbury has found a formula for success before --- that's why she has over a million and a half books in print --- and she has definitely found it again in her Red Gloves series, of which the newest title is SARAH'S SONG. The red gloves, she explains on her website (www.karenkingsbury.com), symbolize red because "red is the color of Christ's love at Christmastime, a season of giving.
The first books in the Red Gloves series were also alliterative: MAGGIE'S MIRACLE and GIDEON'S GIFT, making SARAH'S SONG seem somewhat sensible. (Oops, I got carried away...) Eighty-six-year-old Sarah Lindeman begins her annual Christmas ritual of placing twelve handmade paper ornaments on a small plastic tree, and hopes that as she works her way through her personal "twelve days of Christmas" (the twelve days before December 25, for Sarah), that she will be able to reach out, through her song and her story, to someone in need.
At first Sarah believes that Beth Baldwin, the young married nurse on her floor, will not be the person she reaches. But as Sarah's ornament days progress and she finds herself in the thick of old and painful memories, Beth finds herself in the midst of domestic chaos and marital trauma. The beautiful and meaningful song that Sarah herself wrote and sings on each day of her ritual winds its way into Beth's heart and mind until she finds herself asking Sarah for counsel.
Sarah eagerly shares the story of her paper decorations, each of which has a name ("Excitement," "Rebellion") representing an action or period in Sarah's story of finding love. A naturally talented singer, Sarah had longed as a young woman to "make it" in Nashville. But when she leaves her tiny hometown for that city, she finds that the road to stardom is paved with roadblocks.
And roadblocks are what Sarah's song is all about. Beth listens towards the end of the twelve days as Sarah tells a hard tale about believing that she had lost everything --- and therefore turning her life and story over to God. '''...finally one Sunday I took the situation to God.' Beth's eyes were wide; she looked like she wouldn't have moved from her chair for anything in the world. 'And?' Sarah smiled, slow and full. 'He gave me my song.'"
Beth, torn about her marriage, eagerly awaits the next installment of Sarah's story and song, but before Sarah is finished, a crisis occurs that means she may not be able to do so. Will she release "the secret of love" to Beth? And what role do the red gloves play in this story? The answers are all there --- and so is a warm, meaningful Christmas story that has little of the frippery and ornamentation of most commercial fiction published at this time of year.
