I do my reviews in the form of a letter, which is why they are written like this.Dear Robin Jones Gunn, Amazing, amazing job!! I love Katie. She is such an open and sweet person. I am so happy that you decided to write about her. I was touched. I was so glad I got to know Eli better in this book...
The first thing I noticed when I got the book was that it was part of a series, the Katie Weldon series. I don't know about you, but I'd never heard of that series (or Gunn's other series, the Christy Miller series) before so I was intrigued. I'm a sucker for a good series so I was pretty excited...
Amazing!When I first got this book, I was expecting it to teach me how to pray for my future husband, as in, "hurry-up-and-send-him" kind of a prayer tactic. Instead, I was faced to pray for my future husband as person. I need to pray for his heart, for strength to get through the day, his health...
AMAZING!!! The ending was just beautiful, really. If I was a crier or a screamer, I definitely would have because that ending just invigorated me so much. The whole series was really just so insightful and really affected my outlook. I think it's really apropos that the word "forever" is such ...
I've loved reading Robin Jones Gunn books, Christy & Katie's lives practically walked me through 'growing up'.. I was really disappointed with this last book though.. Aside from remembering the Lord's promise of not fearing & trusting Him, I wouldn't take anything from how Katie did things to app...
Normally, I pick up these books for the lighthearted laughter and uplift they inspire in me. This one was hard for me to read, however. It truly is a book presented in hope, but reading of a woman who recounted her miscarriages, had a mother who went through breast cancer, and waiting on her ow...
Unlike Gunn's Under the Maui Moon, there is nothing in Love Finds You of a dark or deep aspect to the story. It is simple, unembarrassed, straight-up Christian romance set in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I believe I stayed at the same place where the story takes place on the N...
Once upon a time Robin Jones Gunn came to speak at my church. I read it in the bulletin and wasn't able to concentrate for the rest of service, because I was so excited. I love her books and this one was no exception. It tells the story of a mother, her mother and her daughter and how they fall i...
I'll kind of combine my thoughts on Finding Father Christmas and Engaging Father Christmas, since I read the, right after another as though they were one big book. There might possibly be spoilers. I'll try to keep it as spoiler free as possible though.I genuinely enjoyed these books, however I t...
Summer Promise by Robin Jones Gunn is a fantastically written book that I feel many teenagers or young-adults can relate to. In case you haven't had the pleasure of reading and being sucked into this exquisite book yet you could almost relate it to the same setting as "Summerland." The story of 1...
This was a fangirl buy because I wanted to know what happened to the character of Alissa I met in the Christy Miller series I read and loved as a teen. As a fangirl I was disappointed there was no cameo from any other characters from that series. I would have loved to read more about Alissa's dau...

My brother got a chance to go to Hawaii for his high school graduation present, I couldn't. Money issues. (You know, the whole economy sucking, and...
This book had a lot of firsts for me. From the two-star rating, you might guess that these "firsts" aren't particularly positive. For one thing, this is the first time I've ever actually stopped reading the book to roll my eyes. It is also the first time that I've said things out loud while readi...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Thank you Robin Jones Gunn for creating a series to reach me at this age and stage of my life! Reading these books are like "chicken soup for MY soul." Each one leaves me with a renewed appreciation for the friends and family I hold dear and offers m...
