Chronicle Concering Books Take One (Above the Line #1)
Could they change the world before the world changes them? Filmmakers Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison left the mission field of Indonesia for the mission field of Hollywood with a dream bigger than both of them. Now they have done the impossible: raised enough money to produce a feature film with a message that could change the world. But as Chase and Keith begin shooting, their well-laid plans begin to unravel. With millions of dollars on the line, they make a desperate attempt to keep the film from falling apart even as a temperamental actress, a botched production schedule, and their own insecurities leave little room for the creative and spiritual passion that once motivated them. Was God really behind this movie after all? A chance meeting and friendship with John Baxter could bring the encouragement they need to stay on mission and produce a movie that will actually change people s lives. In the midst of the questions and the cameras, is it possible to keep things above the line and make a movie unlike anything done before or is the risk too great for everyone?"Describe Books In Favor Of Take One (Above the Line #1)

Bailey and Andi are roommates at college. Andi grew up overseas as the child of missionaries. Andis dad, Keith, and his fellow missionary friend, Chase, are trying to make a Christian-based movie. They are filming in the town where Andi and Bailey are attending college. This film will be a test of their faith, as they are on an extremely tight budget. Bailey and Andi will also have their faith and character tested as they adjust to this new college setting.This book held my attention. It was in a modern day setting, my reading preferences are normally historical fiction, or Amish. It was my fault, not the authors, that I gave this a four star. The book was good, as are all of Karen Kingsbury's books. I would recommend this book to anyone with a college age child, or someone struggling with their faith.
Filmmakers Chase and Keith are excited to start filming their first major film. The catch is that the film has a Christian theme with minimal financial support. So begins the story of these two former missionaries making their own film in a largely non-Christian business. They are filming this venture in Bloomington, Indiana. This is the same hometown where the Baxter family, from author Karen Kingsburys Redemption, Firstborn and Sunrise series, live. There are quick glimpses of the Baxter
This book is more of a 3.5. There was a lot more unnecessary drama than I would have liked but I did enjoy the book.
It was a good book but I have liked her other ones better. I might continue this series tho because Im acquainted with all the people in the book. As always her closeness to God is shown throughout the whole book!💗
What to say about "Take One?" Scrolling through the reviews, I see I'm one of the few guys to read it.ProsAt its heart, the novel has a good message. It teaches reliance upon God and it offers good moral lessons. Some of the main characters are first-years at college and the story explores the tension between being obedient to God and wanting to step out in freedom and excitement through relationships, partying, etc...I think Karen Kingsbury's strength is in writing about the relationships
Karen Kingsbury is perhaps my favorite all time author. I think I can officially say I've read and loved everything she has written. And this series now at 4 books, is no exception. They are quick light reads and reinforce Christian morality and principles.This series introduces us to a whole new cast of characters for Karen, while feeding our love for the best loved family in Christian Chic Lit, The Baxters. Many of the Baxters and others from that series make appearances in the new series. I
