Katie Weldon Series #2 On a Whim by Robin Jones Gunn

On a Whim[Paperback]
Ages: 13-58
Pages: 295
Buy: robingunn.com

What happens during part of Katie's senior year of college? Katie's beloved yellow car, baby hummer gives it's last wheeze, an unexpected girl's night turns into an unexpected bill, her relationship with her boyfriend Rick becomes difficult when a new job opportunity in Arizona presents itself, and when will Rick finally kiss her? Going to a meteor shower with Rick's roommate Eli and one of Eli's friends stirs up even more problems. How will Katie stay happy and calm with all that is going on?
This inspirational second book in the Katie Weldon series changed my view of life and made me want to make a difference. During this book when she is in charge of a clean water fundraiser  in Africa I realized what sorts of horrible things are going on in the world and what I can do to change something. She learns that she needs to trust God and that everything will go just fine if she does. I again recommend this book along with all of the other wonderful, terrific and altogether awesome  Robin Gunn books to anybody.
Warning: This book should only be read by women that are ready to be terrific in many ways. : )

Katie Weldon Series by Robin Jones Gunn

Age Group: 13-52
Pages: 281
Buy: robingunn.com, bn.com, amazon.com
                                     

What happens after Christy Miller is wedded? Katie Weldon her best friend is here to tell you. At first I didn't know how great Katie's series was going to
 be. I was disappointed and still am that the wonderful Christy Miller Series is over with. I really wanted to find out what happened after Christy's wedding so decided to give this a shot. I learned that Robin Jones Gunn has lots of talent in this book as well. The Christy Miller Series was better then any other book on Earth but it was still really good. It's hard to explain the magic that Robin produces when she writes.  Months after reading her book there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of them. They changed me and I can't get over it. It's mind-blowing that I hadn't ever heard of her or her books until my Aunt gave me one for my birthday. She has won tons of awards and is a fun spirited bubbly person. Everyone should visit Robin's website http://robingunn.com/ and enjoy the warmth and love she radiates. I think that everyone on Earth should be required to at least read one of Robin's books. I promise you will be captivated!
By the way, I know that this isn't the longest post on the face of the world but I couldn't talk about it anymore because I would be spoiling the rest of the books. : )

Christy and Todd College Years by Robin Jones Gunn

Publisher: Bethany House
Pages: 660
Age Group: Young Adult
Buy this book: Robingunn.com, Barnes and Nobles, Amazon


Robin Jones Gunn does it again! In this book Christy, Katie, and Todd, are traveling to Europe for a nice vacation before school starts up again they meet new friends and come to realize what God is trying to do in their lives. I can't believe how absolutely amazing Robin Gunn is. She is definitely one of my favorite authors, (right up there with J.K. Rowling) her ability to make such a moving book is mind-blowing. After I finished this book I couldn't get Christy and Todd out of my mind! This was such an amazing book I give it a 10 out of 10 best book I have ever read. I again encourage and recommend everybody to read these books (starting with Christy Miller Collection Volume 1) and I promise they will change you! ( In a fantastic way!) Yesterday when I visited the library I went straight to Robin Gunn and picked up one of her other series, the Katie Weldon series. You do have to read the Christy books before this for it to make more chronologically correct. I would definitely say that these books are for a mature audience. This book is probably directed more for females (F.Y.I.). So go and read these books as soon as possible and tell us how  you like them!

Christy Miller Collection Volume 4

The Christy Miller Series by Robin Gunn has been such an amazing, inspiring, and over all awesome series. With so much anticipation and me getting mad at the mail man for not being here with my books fast enough has left me a lot of time to think and get closer to God. Before I read this series I think I was just the average, yeah I am a Christian, I go to church because my parents tell me to, and I know that God exists; but now thanks to the Christy Miller Collection I have a personal relationship with God and have overcome many insecurities and fears. I am so thrilled that I have the experience and chance to share God's glory. Christy Miller goes through many daily challenges such as peer pressure, romance, negativity, and altogether growing up. During this last book she goes to Europe on a missions trip and learns who she really is. Friendships are questioned, some more then friendships are created, and Robin Gunn keeps this series going with out dragging on and on, and with out making me bored. This is a book that I would recommend to everybody!           
I give this series a 5 out of 5!

In this Christian realistic fiction series by Robin Gunn, a girl by the name of Christina Miller, who goes by Christy, finds out what the challenges of peer pressure, grief, and being yourself mean and are. She makes some wonderful friends during her summer vacation on the glamorous beaches of California. As she visits her Aunt Marti and Uncle Bob she discovers all of her different personalities. Does she really like shopping? Is her friend with Paula really true? Is Todd loyal and what is up with his whoop lashing? This adventurous book gets you all the more closer with the Lord God and answers many curious questions you may have about life. From the very first page you are hooked and I encourage everybody to give this book a chance even if you aren't a Christian.
