Another good book by Robin Jones Gunn

I must say that I am quite impressed with all the books written by R.J.G. Waterfalls is another sweet romance with a lot of spiritual truths to bless the reader. One of the major themes in the book, involves the obsession we have with movie stars. We live in a world where Hollywood actors are our heroes and we fail to realize that they are no different us and have as many faults as we do. Instead, the characters in Waterfalls allow us to look beyond that, at the true character of a person's heart and whether God exists in them or not. I also loved the dialogue between the characters. The books by R.B.J are also entertaining and the very best of contemporary fiction that I have read. I have the whole Glenbrook series collection. I also have the Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen books. Although, these are recommended for younger readers, I still find them entertaining and worth a good read. These books teach you a lot about life.

EXECELLENT!

This is the best book I have ever read! Robin's books just keep getting better and better! I love to laugh and when reading a book it doesn't happen to often. This book made me laugh right out loud! Even though I had people looking at me like I was crazy I was completly content to sit and keep reading this book. I couldn't put it down! I know I must have gotten negative hours of sleep due to not wanting to put this book down. As you can see I strongly advise each and every person to read this book. It has a soft romance but also includes and awesome God that you can come right out and talk to. Most books make God look like a far off figure but this book showed that God is right there waiting for you to talk to Him.

Breaking the Boundries

Meri is the most delightful character! She was so real, and fun, I wish she really exsisted! Robin has quite outdone herself. This is one of the funniest books I've ever read; and you just don't find many of those on the Christian shelves. A sense of humor goes a long way in getting fundimental truths about God across to the reader. Someone has finally broken the boundries of stiff, unrealistic Christians who can't make jokes or have fun! I've shared this book with so many, I've lost count. I know that it will have a positive impact on all who read it. I can't wait for the next one!

The funniest and most amazing romance novel you'll ever read

Robin Jones Gunn is my favorite author and everything she writes is exceptional! I was extremely excited to find that each of her book's characters tie in with each other, they don't isolate themselves to a specific book.Her characters never cease to amaze me with how real they seem and how intune their everyday lives are with ours. Her books give you hope, and when you read them you suddenly begin to realize, "Yeah, I've been in this situation." And "Hey, this is really what happens in life." She doesn't have false, perfect characters whose lives and standards can't be lived up to, no on the contrary, her characters face the same problems we face in everyday life and make the same mistakes we make. But, instead of hard-luck stories without hope of ever finding the way out of situations, Robin writes of the ultimate love and healing that God gives to His children when they seek Him and admit their mistakes. With this in mind, I can honestly tell you that all of her books are winners and none of them have ever had reason for disappointment. Waterfalls is by far on the top five list of books she wrote. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard while reading a book. Robin combines all the elements of humor, romance, and a personal relationship with God, the latter of which is so very important. You have to understand that romance is a wonderful gift from God and that trusting in Him and following His will will always have the best ending results.

Inspiring and Hopeful!!

I really enjoyed this book!! Though I hve read most of Robin Jones Gunn's books this one really hit home. I, too, am waiting for God to send me the right man. It seems hard sometimes to wait, but after reading this book you realize that only God has PERFECT timing. When I first started this book I knew it was another Great one, She seems to know just what to right for her readers. Thanks for all the great books!!
