One Of The Best!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Excerpt: "...tonight something was happening inside Alissa. First Genevieve had reached out to her as a sister in Christ, and Alissa had felt a connection with her. Now she was experiencing this reawakening of a feeling inside that said, 'I agree. I think God should be praised.' How could these two kooks with their berets and bongos - of all things, bongos - change something so deep inside her?" I know this isn't exactly what your supposed to do when you leave a review, but I figured this was the best way to get you to buy the book. (P. S. just wanted to let all the Christy Miller fans out there know that, yes, this book tells what happens to Alissa)

The Glenbrooke Series

These books are great!!!! These books keep you wanting to read them all over again. But, to really understand these books you really need to read the Christy Miller Series, then the Sierra Jensen Series, then read the Christy and Todd Collage Series,and THEN finally read the Glenbrooke Series. If you only read the Christy Miller Series, you won't know as much info on Christy, that relates to these other series. These books are great!! You'll keep wanting to read them over and over again. ROBIN JONES GUNN YOU are the BEST writer in the WORLD!! I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!!!!!-K.

This book is totally awsome

I loved this book. It is not easy to tell how it ends. You think you know what is going to happen to Alissa, the main character, but you don't. Talk about an exciting last few chapters. I love all of Robin's work. Unlike many other books this is not only an exciting and wonderful story but this also offers wonderful insight. All I can say is don't read it in one night or read it only once. Like many of Robin's book this book gets better every time you read it. Definetly Buy it!!!

Life Changing

This book was fantastic. Many writers can tell a good fiction story but only those special few can give a life changing message through that story. This book, about a girls struggle to find her self worth and identity, takes you with her through a journey to understand the love of God and the worth of each individual for who they are inside! This story teaches you the home truths about a true relationship with God, healthy appreciation for what he made you to be and mature and everlasting love with that person he set aside for you! Well Done!

This booked turned me on to reading!

This was the first book I read by Robin Jones Gunn, and the first book I had ever comepletely read through. I love how she writes. Her stories are real and deep. You can really relate to the characters, because everyone has to go through the same stuff in life. The plus of reading this book was that I finished it on the beach at Sunset!

"Sunsets" captures the heart!

"Sunsets" and "Clouds" are the best books I've read in a very long time. You'll fall in love with Alissa and Shelly as they rediscover their love of God. It'll stir your heart!
