The Above the Line Series: Books 1-4: The Baxters Take One, The Baxters Take Two, The Baxters Take Three, and The Baxters Take Four

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury--praised as "America's favorite inspirational novelist"--comes the Above the Line series, a powerful spinoff of her beloved Baxter family saga. Set against the glitz of Hollywood and grounded in the grit of real faith, these stories follow two filmmakers with a mission to change culture through the power of story.

Book One: Take One Chase Ryan and Keith Ellison have left the mission field for a new kind of ministry: making movies that matter. With millions of dollars invested and their dream on the line, they begin production on a film with the potential to change lives. But when production chaos, Hollywood egos, and personal doubts threaten everything, they must ask the hard question--was God behind this dream, or have they been chasing something else entirely?

Book Two: Take Two Their first film has Hollywood talking, and now Chase and Keith are in demand. But the bright lights come with a cost. As Chase's marriage frays and Keith's daughter, Andi, makes troubling choices in her rise to fame, both men must wrestle with whether success in the industry is worth the toll on their families and faith. Can they stay true to their calling--or will the price of influence be too high?

Book Three: Take Three Just as the team secures a top young star for their new film, Chase faces a devastating personal crisis that removes him from Jeremiah Productions for good. Keith presses forward with help from a Baxter family member, but heartbreak strikes closer to home when Andi's choices spiral toward danger. Meanwhile, Bailey Flanigan's long-awaited romantic future may finally take shape--if only she can face her fears.

Book Four: Take Four As Keith and Dayne Matthews push toward finishing the most important film of their careers, scandal threatens the movie's lead actor and their chances at box-office success. But healing is possible--on and off screen. Through personal trials and professional challenges, they learn that some of the most important stories are the ones that unfold behind the scenes.

Filled with heart, hope, and the promise of redemption, the Above the Line series is for fans of inspiring fiction that doesn't shy away from life's hardest questions. Whether you're new to the Baxter world or a longtime reader, this series will remind you that with God, no dream is too far gone--and that the greatest productions are often the ones we live.
