One Tuesday Morning (9/11 #1)
I had a hard time with this book. The fictionalized story placed in the 9/11 event felt too contrived. I know this is fickle of me to say as I love plenty of books that are a fictional story placed in a historical event. I wonder if this one just didn't feel right to me, because I remember 9/11 so clearly, and most other historical fiction I read contains events from before my lifetime. This book is pretty heavy on the Christianity aspect with lots of scripture quoting, prayer, and church
This was a little slow going, but picked up and then never stopped. I loved all the character involvement and the idea for the story line, while a stretch, really fascinating and sad and scary. The Christian undertones are tasteful and not over done which is exactly what I was looking for. They fit so well with the story line and the personalities of the characters. I also enjoyed not every character had the same level of faith. Definitely looking forward to the next in the series!
This novel is filled with great sorrow and beautiful joy. It will stir up deep emotions of sadness and American pride. I highly recommend it. I am so glad I chose to allow myself to be uncomfortable. This book allowed me to honor all who were personally affected by really Remembering 9/11. Ive wanted to read this series for some time, but I couldnt quite bring myself to relive the events of 9/11 until now as our country remembers 9/11, 18 years later. One Tuesday Morning brought me back to that
Wow! This was a wonderful story. I definitely cried several times, but that was to be expected from a story about 9/11. This book really touched on how people can semi-understand tragedies and not blame God for them. And, how God can use these tragedies to bring people to Him. I highly recommend this book to both believers and non-believers. It does not preach to the reader, but God, and belief in Him plays an important part in the story.
Karen Kingsbury is such a great Christian writer. I can't wait to read more of her books! This book drew me in and it was hard to put down.
Ugh. Just no.

Interpretation Toward Books One Tuesday Morning (9/11 #1)
I’m a firefighter, God, so I know I’ve been in some tough places before. But this . . . this not knowing the people I love . . . this is the hardest thing I can imagine. The last thing Jake Bryan knew was the roar of the World Trade Center collapsing on top of him and his fellow firefighters. The man in the hospital bed remembers nothing. Not rushing with his teammates up the stairway of the south tower to help trapped victims. Not being blasted from the building. And not the woman sitting by his bedside who says she is his wife. Jamie Bryan will do anything to help her beloved husband regain his memory, and with it their storybook family life with their small daughter, Sierra. But that means helping Jake rediscover the one thing Jamie has never shared with him: his deep faith in God. Jake’s fondest prayer for his wife is about to have an impact beyond anything he could possibly have conceived. One Tuesday Morning is a love story like none you have ever read: tender, poignant, commemorating the tragedy and heroism of September 11 and portraying the far-reaching power of God’s faithfulness and a good man’s love.Point Books Conducive To One Tuesday Morning (9/11 #1)
