About the Author

Robin Jones Gunn has a passion for communicating God's love to young hearts. She began writing story books for toddlers when her children were little. Her husband, Ross, has been a youth minister for over twenty years. While on a camping trip with teens from their youth group, Robin found some of the girls hiding away in their tent reading a stack of novels they'd brought with them from the library.



Curious as to what could keep these girls away from the sun, surf and guys, Robin borrowed three of their books. As she read them, her heart broke. They were not the kinds of stories these girls should be reading! After the camping trip Robin went to her Bible bookstore and bought every book she could find that she thought would be interesting for the girls and have a good influence on them. The teens read all the books in a week and asked for more. "There aren't any more," Robin told them. "That was all I could find." The teens challenged Robin by saying, "Then you write some for us. We'll even tell you what to write!"





She has now written over 50 books, including THE CHRISTY MILLER SERIES, which has sold more than one million copies. A storyteller at heart, she is also a popular speaker and an active youth worker. Robin lives with her family in Oregon.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet!, May 11, 2002

This review is from: As You Wish (Christy and Todd: The College Years #2) (Paperback)

I have read one book in the "Christy Miller" series (enough to know the gist of the series) and I've really enjoyed "Until Tomorrow"...but "As You Wish" is definitely the best yet. I am usually not one to enjoy "teen" romances as much as I did this one, but "As You Wish" is definitely a special book. Robin Jones Gunn fills this book with realistic life experiences that we can all relate to and creates the sweetest relationship between Todd and Christy...but the book is so much more than that. Gunn does a wonderful job of illustrating the importance of having God in the center of our relationship and the joy and the peace that follow giving our life to him. It's awesome how this book flawlessly combines a growing romance and a growing faith in God. If you're a teen girl wanting a good read and/or lessons on relationships, run to the nearest bookstore and grab the "Christy and Todd-The College Years" series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book!, November 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: As You Wish (Christy and Todd: The College Years #2) (Paperback)

I finished this book in, literally, 2 hours. It's incredible!

After seeing each other only once in a while, Todd and Christy are now together on a daily basis. Todd has comfirmed his love for Christy, but she's still trying to sort out the pieces in their relationship. Then, when tragedy strikes, Christy realizes that she could loose Todd at any second. Is she willing to trust God with her future - with or without Todd? Will Todd ever propose?

This book was incredibly romantic, wonderfully written and funny. Robin Jones Gunn is an extremely talented author. I would highly recommed reading this, as well as her other books!
