In the high-powered world of filmmaking, two unknown producers struggle to make a name for themselves. They have done the impossible - raised enough money to independently produce a feature film with a message they hope will change the world. With millions of investors' dollars on the line, everything starts to fall apart and they realize they may be in over their heads, a couple of Davids in a world of Hollywood Goliaths. Is it possible to keep things above the line, to beat the odds and make a movie unlike anything ever done before? Or, will they lose everything in the process?

Very disappointed in this book. This is the first time I put a Karen Kingbury book down and never had the desire to finish it or continue reading. Plot, characters, etc. are all so very predictable. I'm a bit tired of the same old characters and would love to see something new and fresh from Kingsbury.

Another great book from Karen Kingsbury. Love a book that holds your interest from first page to the last. Since I've read her Redemption, firstborn and Sunrise series it was nice to revisit the Baxters. Loved all of them. Karen has a God given talent to write and I appreciate the fact she uses it to write christian fiction. Would recomend her books to everyone. Have "Take Two" and looking forward to reading it. Also looking forward to rest of books in this series. Thanks Karen for another great series.

She is still writting great books. Karen Kingsbury takes todays people and problems and keeps you reading. It's hard to put this book down. I would recommend this book to any book lover. I can't wait to pick up Take Two.

I thought I had ordered Take Two. I already had Take One. My mistake, but I am happy with all the other orders I have received.

I am so glad that Karen Kingsbury decided to continue the story of the Flanigan's and see sneak peeks into the lives of the Baxter's.
"Take One" gives us an insight to movie making. There is so much you can read in tabloids (and probably rarely true) and Karen gives us a true look into what goes on and the struggles that Christian actors, producers, etc face.
It was hard for me to read at first, because I just wanted to know what was going to happen to Bailey and Cody. But a few pages in, I warmed up to the new actors. I look forward to reading Take Two.

Anything that Karen Kingsbury writes is wonderful. She always brings into her books a personal relationship with GOD!

Karen Kingsbury never fails to draw a reader into the lives of her characters. This book was a wonderful introduction to new 'faces' while giving the reader a glimpse into the lives of the characters that we already love so much
