Product Description
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?

Anyone who has read Karen Kingsbury know what a great author she is...her books still bring cover price at the closest used book store. This book is no exception. Characters struggle with finances, family and faith - and learn lessons on the way.
Great audiobook version July 22, 2009

I am a big Kingsbury fan; and it's so great that this book takes place in Hollywood, with her leading characters struggling to balance basic Christian family values with the pitfalls of Tinsletown. The characters are all believable, and each dealing in different ways with their faith.
I really enjoyed the multi-voiced production of this book; it made it so interesting and easy to follow, switching from each characters point of view. I kept having to stay in my car after getting home to listen to the end of each chapter!
I must say I enjoyed this presentation better than the woman who previously read Kingsbury's books.
These Cds were very enjoyable, and I was sad to come to the last one.

Karen Kingsbury can't write the next book fast enough. This book was excellent! She continues some well loved characters, adds new and keeps you interested from beginning to end. Lots of positive reinforcement of the scriptures--Loved it

Karen Kingsbury did it again! Take One is a another great book with a wonderful message. It was fun to meet some new people as well as go back and check in with the Baxters at the same time! I am eagerly awaiting the release of the next book in Karen's Above the Line series - Take Two!
great to hear from the Baxters June 9, 2009

I could not wait for the book to be out. I adore the Baxter family and feel like I know the characters personally. I was not disappointed with the new book and am looking in the mail everyday for the next one. They are such an encouraging series that reminds us Christians that the road is not promised to be easy and straight but that we have the perfect navigator to guide us on our journey.
