Christy Miller Collection, Vol 1

When I first read this series, I had started to forget God. I still believed He was real, but I just didn't see the need to pray or pay very much attention to Him. Thank God I got this series!!! By the time I finished reading the first book in this volume I had re-given my life to Jesus!!! You really need to get this book!!! And if you get it and don't like it, then.... I think we need to start praying for you!!! Lol!!!!! 🤣 (See comment on volume 2 to find out more about how AWESOME this series is)

very good conditiom

I read this full series when I was a preteen/teen and loved them so much! I was excited to see them as a collection and purchased the first volume for my 14 year old daughter. I’m excited for her to enjoy them as much as I did!

Fun, amazing the christy miller series you’ll love it!

Robin Jones Gunn's Christy Miller series is one of my all-time favorite book series!! It's almost scary how relatable her books are! I'm so happy I read this series, it's really nice having a teenage-Christian book series. Once I started reading I couldn't put the books down!

Robin Jones Gunn was able to give me a new look at certain aspect with my faith and explained things in ways I was better able to understand!

I am obsessed with this story. I remember coming home from school everyday and just laying on my bed and reading it. This book is what truly opened my eyes to the world of literature and reading. Up until this series I had no 100% enjoyed any book. This was the first book I actually loved 100%. I recommend every girl to read this book, and then pass it on to a sister, a friend , or a cousin. There are few books that are truly inspirational, I believe this is one of those few. Definitely thinking of buying this entire collection for my future daughter some day!!!

I was fourteen years old when this book was first published. My mom bought it for me after flipping through it in the store and reading about awkward Christy Miller in her green bean bathing suit. Finally, it was someone I could relate to! I loved kind Uncle Bob and flamboyant Aunt Marti (sure, she was conniving and devious but she was fun to read about and really was trying to do what she thought was good). Todd was interesting, if a bit of a doofus, and the description of their trip to Disneyland was so much fun (when I actually went to Disneyland some 8 years later I thought about Todd and Christy going on the Matterhorn bobsleds, eating ice cream, and looking at the Tinkerbell figurines as I did all those same things). I still love this book, but the rest of the series just didn't hold my interest the same way. I've never had much tolerance for romance novels, Christian or otherwise, and this series just turned too much to teen romance fluff. I got tired of Christy and Todd going back and forth, and as I got older their "problems" just seemed more and more trivial. Robin Jones Gunn has a great talent for writing fun and interesting supporting characters, like Katie, and vivid descriptions of interesting locales, like England and Hawaii, which kept me reading through the entire series. Good luck to you, Christy Miller, through your college years. Thanks for the good times, but I won't be joining you for anymore of your adventures.

I would like to thank Robin Jones Gunn for writting this series and having it be avaiable to read in Utah. When I first saw this book series, I was so happy that I found a Christian book series in a prominate L.D.S. state. This series helped me to get interested in reading and reading faster and injoying what I am reading. I related to the girls in the story expecilly Christy when she talks to her self, I tend to do that a lot. It made me so happy that she meet Todd but it kind of made me jellous in wanting a good Christian relationship with a guy. I have never read books so fast and been so interested in what I am reading until I found this. I even prayed that I would find a good Christian book that I could relate to and now that I have I am so very thankful. This book is the start of all of the books if you don't read this one first it will be soo confusing so I highly suggest that you read them in order. So thank you again to Robin Jones Gunn for writting this series for me and many other young women mostly out there. It used to be kind of hard to get this series because the next one had a lot of holds on them because other teenagers were out there reading this wonderful series. So If you haven't had the chance to read these books give it a chance it can change your life because I know it has changed mine.

The promise shared is one of holding on to your dreams, and holding out for God's best. My sister Mandy and I read this book when she was a freshman in high school, and I, a twenty-three year old, stay-at-home mom of a little girl named Lindsey. When Mandy and I shared these special moments in the life of this fictional girl known as Christy Miller, we laughed, and we cried. We learned together what it was like to relate to the joys and trials of a young woman going through the kind of change that one goes through when getting to know God in a personal way. The memories for my sister and I will be long remembered. This past Christmas Mandy handed down her "Christy Miller" collection to Lindsey. Again, the promise will be shared, even as I read the books with my twelve year old daughter. Lindsey is already introducing her younger sister, Lauren, age four, to all her "friends" from the Christy Miller series! The sharing of another promise to "read the books together" has been made. The writings of Robin Jones-Gunn are a true legacy. Her love for the Lord and her desire to share that love and the joy of knowing Him are ever present in her works. I can not thank the Lord enough for her giftedness as an author. The quality and moral integrity with which she addresses her audiences is a true joy to myself, as an avid reader, and also as the mother of a young girl in search of an adventerous and realistic read.

I loved this book. It is truely magnificent. Very true to life. Some adults don't realize the pressures of a teen's everyday life, religion, dating, school, friends, etc. And yet this book covers all angles FABULOUSLY! Maybe thats why I like it so much!

This book is a wonderful book! As Christy Miller goes through her life challenges she discovers how God is the one and true Father. Read along with Christy as she accepts God into her life and begins to understand the powerful message He brings
