Purchase options and add-ons
Everything Is on the Line
...for Faith Evans,
an up-and-coming newscaster. A woman of honor and integrity, who finds herself making a stand against the one man she never imagined would be her enemy...
...for Jordan Riley,
a powerful attorney dedicated to fighting for human rights and against God. A man still reckoning with the boyhood loss of the three women who once meant everything to him...
...for Bethany, Pennsylvania,
a small town no one ever dreamed would become the center of national attention. But it has. All because of a beloved, hundred-year-old statue of Jesus Christ that stands in Bethany’s park. A statue that some say is a clear violation of separation of church and state. A statue that has to come down. A statue that suddenly becomes the focus of a bitter conflict—one rife with political intrigue, social injustice, and personal conflicts. Before it’s over, everything that Jordan and Faith and the town of Bethany stand for will be challenged.
Will love be enough when the battle rages on every side?
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.” —Karen Kingsbury

- Reviewed in Canada on August 18, 2003I absolutely loved "On Every Side"! Once again Karen Kingsbury has written a book that, in the beginning, things look hopeless, but by the end, you feel completely fulfilled with how everything turns out.
"On Every Side" is about two people who are fighting for a statue of Jesus; one person, Faith, who will do anything to keep the statue where it is, and an attorney, Jordan, who is dedicated to fighting anything that has to do with Christianity or God. However, when Jordan begins his battle, he doesn't realize who his main opposition will be: Faith, his best friend from years ago.
As always with Karen Kingsbury's books, you feel as though you know the characters and are a part of the book. And while Jordan appears to be the enemy, you learn about his painful past and why he is determined to fight against God. I loved all the main characters- they were just wonderful! This was such a likeable book. Once I began reading it, I couldn't put it down! There is also an interesting connection between the names of many characters and the Bible, which comes out later in the book.
If you've read other books by this author, you won't be disappointed with "On Every Side". Or if this author is new to you, read this book and you'll probably be hooked! I highly recommend reading this book!
- Reviewed in Canada on December 20, 2001This is one of the best pieces of fiction I have ever read. The emotions are non-stop from beginning to end. I could feel the pain and the hurts that these characters were going through because the author did such a good job at bringing them to life. It's not just another love story, but a story of justice and sacrifice, of standing up for what you believe in, no matter the cost, and trusting God to honor that stand. I am deeply moved by the strength and innocence of Faith and it convicted me in many ways to realize that I need to be more like her. I can hardly wait to read more of Karen Kingsbury's books.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 27, 2003I started reading Karen Kingsbury a few months ago. As a former agnostic, I understood Jordan's feelings so much. One of the best books I've ever read. I'd recommend it to anyone.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 28, 2003Even though you knew going in how it was all going to end, this could have been a very enjoyable book. HOWEVER, what ruined it for me was how similar it was to A Moment of Weakness. Two people who were in love as young adolescents, suddenly torn apart. They lose each other. They go seperate ways. One is devout, one is running from God. They meet up again years later, and after a series of misunderstandings they find that they were destined to be together and fall in love again. Now, that is just the start-up to A Moment of Weakness - it then goes into a whole second plot, with its' own twists. In On Every Side, however, that is pretty much it. It is a nice story. It is a sweet story. That's about it. I believe the author was trying to provoke emotion about our religious freedoms being eroded (for more information on that read David Limbaugh's new book Persecution - excellent). All in all, if you haven't read A Moment of Weakness, you'll probably really enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poppy-simply the best yet.
Verified PurchaseThis is the second time reading this amazing book. It still held all the sadness and ultimate joy as if not read before. I hadn't read, however, that it was based on an actual case. I am encouraged by the outcome and will recommend the book. I have read many books by this author and loved each one and all the characters, but this book had me crying for joy just as in the first reading. Thank you Karen Kingsbury.
