Coming Attractions (Katie Weldon Series)

I have been a fan of Robin Jones Gunn's books for over a decade. They literally kept me focused and encouraged in my relationship with the Lord through my teenage years, keeping me from making decisions that I'd regret later on and helping me commit to my morals and standards. I am SO thankful that these books, these characters, this author has been a part of my life. Out of all three Katie Weldon books, this one was definitely my favorite! I read it three times in one week! I am always overwhelmed by how much I relate to the characters in her stories! I always seem to be going through the same trial as them and have received enormous amounts of wisdom through Robin over the years. I fully believe that the Lord works directly into these books and these characters. I don't want to give any of the book away, but I will say that Robin's writing is addictive, once you read a single book of hers - you will want every book of every series! I guarantee it! I know this first-hand since they take up two shelves in my bookshelf! haha Give this book a try and I promise you that these characters will be 'forever held in your heart!'

This was a great book! I've read it twice already. One thing I liked about this book better then the second one in the Katie Weldon Series, was that the whole story was not on the back cover. I had a feeling in book 2 that Katie and Rick wouldn't end up together, but it couldn't have turned out better than it did in Coming Attractions. I got the book free from the publisher and I couldn't put it down once I started!

I love all the Christy/Sierra/Katie books! This is by far the best yet. I had my doubts at first. Katie seems to fall prey to the world's way of living life and choosing her direction in life by those standards. And, it seems as though because of that, she has really matured. Yet, she has inner conflict about ending college and beginning her new phase in life. A surprise visit by her parents at this point was heart-warming. But then at the very end of the book, everything changes rapidly. In one way I was disappointed in the ending (while I was reading). As I reflected about the story longer I realized that Katie was listening to God, drawing on His power and strength to follow a direction in life greater than some worldly standard novel way... Then I realized Robin Jones Gunn had finally done it. She had shown how as we as humans always rely on our goals that we had set up. We find it odd or disconcerting when people change those goals. On the outside we tend to judge and diminish a person's frivolous new ideas, without even giving God the credit for the nudge in a different direction. Enjoy the read!

Reading this book brought a smile to face. I was surprised with the ending of this story and totally thrilled how Mrs. Gunn amazed us all. I'm so happy for Katie and what God planned for her life. This story has taught me to continue to focus on what God has in store for me life. He is the ONE TRUE GOD!

Since this book is still so new, I'm not going to go into specifics about the plot except to say that it is full of many twists and turns and a very suprising ending. Definitly a page turner. This was a great culmination of the series, but I really hope Robin Jones Gunn will check back in with these characters again sometime.
