This is a (using Doug's word) Awesome Book!, May 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: With This Ring (The Sierra Jensen Series #6) (Paperback)
Thank you so much, Mrs.Gunn. I have to say this is my first Sierra book, I have read. It's just the Wedding, and the kiss, and talks about purity is what made me read this one first. The Wedding, and their first kiss was wonderful. When I read the part about the rehersal, I was jumping and twirling around my school. Then the kiss made me scream and laugh cause of the Ushers. I cried at the shower, laughed out loud cause of the chicken, the only thing that got me is, when will Todd and Christy get married or if they ever will.I can't wait till the College Years when Sierra, Katie, Christy and Todd all go to the same college. I have to tell you, I'm a bookworm, I'm always reading these books, I cry alot of times and laugh alot and sometimes even scream. These books got me hooked, I give Godly advice away to my friends and tell them the lessons I've learned from these books. I especially like The Christy Miller Series, I gave comments in every book I have read. Thank you ,so very much! Todd & Christy Forever! Doug & Tracy Forever! Paul & Sierra Forever! P.O. FOREVER!

Promises, Prayers, and Purity, December 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: With This Ring (The Sierra Jensen Series #6) (Paperback)
This book is about Tracy and Doug's wedding. Sierra learns important lessons about purity. She promises God (and her future husband, whoever he turns out to be) to save herself for her future mate. This book will help teen girls realize the importance of staying pure. It really helped me. It's also filled with lots of romance and fun and will make you grow closer to God.

No one can bring characters alive like Robin Jones Gunn. Her writing captures my heart from the first page and leaves me satisfied at the end. Great job!

Never stop writing, Robin!!!! :-), August 14, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: With This Ring (The Sierra Jensen Series #6) (Paperback)
I have all her books in both the Sierra Jensen and Christy Miller series. She writes so well that if you read one of her books you'll never let go. This book has been a long wait for those who have all the books. She shows in this book how important it is to wait sexually and to date someone. I love how she can make the situations in the book so realistic and bring in important Christain values

Judging character by a single physical act, January 15, 2009
This review is from: With This Ring (The Sierra Jensen Series #6) (Paperback)
Here is a quote from this book that sums it all up. The teenage girl says:
"...My body is a gift and God gets to decide who to give the gift to, not me. And the best presents are the ones that are all wrapped up, not the ones that have been opened and rewrapped and now the paper is torn or the bow is squished or the tape no longer sticks....I believe God's best plan for me is to be like a wrapped present. Then, when I get married, I can completely give myself to my husband for the first time, and he'll know that I'm a special gift just for him."
Do you really want your kid to define her entire self-worth by a single physical act?
Not by honesty or kindness or charity or love, not by accepting herself as a special and unique person with gifts to give regardless of what happens to the wrapping paper, not by accepting that life is a series of making mistakes and learning from them and becoming a better person, but by physical virginity above all else?
This is an overly romanticized view of virginity that could potentially be EXTREMELY damaging to the sense of self-worth of kids who don't end up being virgins on their wedding night. And what about marriages that end in the death of one partner? Or in divorce? It happens.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with premarital abstinence. There are LOTS of good reasons to abstain. But the idea that you'll be worth less as a person if you don't is not one of them. I think there are much, much better ways to communicate a sense of morality and sexual ethics than by books like this.

great!!!like a wish come true!!!, July 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: With This Ring (The Sierra Jensen Series #6) (Paperback)
finally doug and tracy are getting married!!! their long awaited marriage is finally gracing us w/ its presence!! and you know how long a wait its been if you've read the Christy books. hooray. that (their wedding) was kinda obvious though since he proposed in #... i'm not saying. but though its a happy occasion little problems are creeping around the corners waiting to pop into Sierra's life and irritate her. what challenges will she face? will everything work out? how will she react when she experiences the celebration of purity firsthand? okay now i'm starting to sound like the back of the book, so i'll stop now. i think #3 is the best but this book is definitly close behind. its at least the second best, if not tied for first. definitely no doubt about it -- but only if you've read the Christy Miller series. otherwise it means nothing. absolutely nothing.
