Having been to the world trade centers and seen the hundreds that flocked to and from it, I was particularly drawn to this story.

The news media failed in comparison to Kingsbury's account of the tribulation that faces two families caught in the middle of the 9/11 tragedy.

I cried from the beginning to the end, but never once regretted the decision to pick up the book. Kingsbury doesn't only give you a look inside
what occured in the building on that fateful morning, but into the lives of a handful of individuals as well.

What an amazing journey both emotionally and spiritually for every person involved. Don't miss this one....

This is the first book I've read by the author, and I will read anything else by her I can find. Kingsbury weaves a story that deals with love and commitment, using the September 11 tragedy as a background. You will understand the power of faith and love even more after reading this book, and how really good things can come out of the worst situations. You will have trouble putting it down once you get into it.

This book was such a therapeutic read. I cried and then cried a little more as I read the details surrounding this fictional representation centered on the events of 9-11. My heart grieved intensely for the families that experienced the loss so vividly described in this book. Not only is it impossible not to love the characters in the book, you will find yourself rooting for them and eager to find out what happens to all involved. This is a story of love and hope in the face of immense tragedy. If you pick this book up, be prepared to be immersed in it... Be prepared to cry, because it will leave you emotionally raw. I would recommend this book to anyone as an amazing read.

I had great difficulty putting this book down. It is a very touching story that gives great honor and respect to those who lost their lives in the Twin Towers.

This is the first book I have read by these authors, however, I am looking forward to reading many more! I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. It makes you stop and think about what's really important in life. The butterfly kisses Jake shares with Sierra are really special.

I have never read anything by Karen Kingsbury, but recommended this book. I was a bit skeptical because of the 9/11 tie-in. I thought it would be another round of smaltz and commercialism profiting on a tragedy.

I couldn't have been more wrong. One Tuesday Morning really moved me emotionally and spiritually. This plotline was not only realistic, it brought me cascading back to that fateful day more than two years ago.

This story delicately and carefully weaves the interesection of tragedy and faith and walks the reader closely through the inner struggles of God's children and the journey of those the Holy Spirit is anxiously trying to woo.

And it should motivate men to be more like Jake and abandon their tendencies to be like Eric. And what better way for God to show Eric his sin than for him to walk in another man's shoes?

One Tuesday Morning handles the tragedy of 9/11 with grace and courage and delivers a moving portrait of a story that could have been and a plot line that really is.

You'll be challenged spiritually and emotionally by this poignant look at a national tragedy.

I love the way Karen Kingsbury's characters think and interact. They are so human and yet God's working in their lives tell of His wonderful grace - just like real life. This was my best read for years! I believe Karen's heart is revealed in every book she writes. Keep it up Karen Kingsbury.

this is the first time i read kinsbury's book and it was great. what a story. this story makes you think about what could had happen in september 11,. if you read you will be lost of words. imagine if you were one of the characters of book. this books gives you tears, hope, suspense and a understanding of family.

This book was terrific. It grabed my attention from the start and was hard to put down. This is the kind of book that you want to turn to the back and see how things end. I was tempted several times to do that. I really enjoyed this book. It was handled very sentisively and this was very beleivable that it could have really happened.
This is the frist book i have read by Karen Kinsbury, but i look forward to reading more of her work.
I loved this book and have passed it on to my friends here at the office.
Thanks Karen for a wonderful book.

It is very clear that the 9-11 tragedy was well researched. Kingsbury went into great detail about what happened and how the country was affected by the World Trade Center Bombing.

She wrote about how lives were affected by the tragedy, through Laura and Jamie, and Eric. Jamie loses her husband in the tragedy, but a look-alike of her husband ends up living with her. He has amnesia. Through him, who walks somewhat in her husband's shoes, she comes to know Christ.

The only thing that I didn't like about the book was that Jamie wasn't able to figure out that the man who wasn't living with her was not her husband. That seemed a little unrealistic. You are so much in love with someone and you know them intimately, so I would think that she could have figured it out a little sooner. But the book explained that she was probably too close to the situation to see it objectively.

All in all, this was a real page turner. Karen Kingsbury most certainly did not fail to deliver, as always.
