You can watch online at www.tbn.org. They broadcast in Australia too so you might be able to find their channel.

They are OK. The Abrams daughters series is good, but each novel ends unsatisfactorily. You keep expecting a fairytale ending, but it's like life... no guarantee of circumstances being fun. It's very different from her early novels where the innocent girl always end up with the dashing (and dare I say Heroic?) Canadian Mountie.
I just realized that I have been mixed up...again. The Abram's Daughters series is by Beverly Lewis and not Oke.

They may play it on cable, but we don't have cable. Thanks for the thought though.

I don't know about all cities, but in Atlanta you can get it without having cable/satellite. You can get it on cable too, of course, but it's also among the free channels here. Don't know if it's like that everywhere or not though.

Ok....to recommend few other authors similar to Oke...
Try Karen Kingsbury (her books always make me cry---they are so realistic & down to earth--very good) and Judith Pella as well as Michael Phillips. Those are some of my faves & I didn't see that anyone had mentioned them when I scrolled through the replies.

I haven't read any books by Karen Kingsbury, Judith Pella, Michael Phillips or Beverly Lewis. I might have to give them a try.

I've just started reading it, but I'm finding it hard to get into. Mind you, at the moment, I'm finding all reading hard to get into. My concentration span is having a bit of difficulty.

For me, concentration span is dependant upon depression. When it's bad, I just can't concentrate. For years, I couldn't read for that reason. Only in recent months have I been able to get back to being the bookworm that I used to be, and making up for lost time whilst I've been at it. Hopefully it won't be long before I can get back to reading again.

I wish I could find the rest of the series on CD, Its so much easier to listen to the story while doing other things then to sit down and read a book.
Its been ages since I've read a book from cover to cover.
