The Christy Miller Series

The Christy Miller Collection by Robin Jones Gunn, one of my all-time favorite series. Christy is a normal girl with a normal life until she spends the summer in California with her super-rich aunt and uncle. There she gets a new makeover, new friends, and potential boyfriend (Todd) and newfound faith. It’s a three-in-one book, and there are four of them, which means you get to read twelve different stories. There is also the Christy Miller the College Years, the Married Years, and the Baby Years and another series about Sierra Jensen, her newfound friend from book 12 in the Miller series.

This series gives hope and is one of the few YA Christian fiction books. It takes you through Christy’s happiness, hardships, love, faith, and pain. These are things that people experience every day of their lives and while we may not have a Todd in our lives (literally my favorite fictional character ever), his realness makes it seem like you’re right there talking with him. I am thankful that this series has not been made into a movie because I believe not actor could ever be able to portray the likes of Todd, who is so different than any other fictional character I’ve read about (and trust me I’ve read too many books to count). This series is a definite must-read.

"A God-thing is when something happens in your life, and you look at it and can't explain how or why it happened, but you know there's a reason for it. You know that God is doing something in your life, and it changes you. There's no other way to explain it except to see it as a God thing."
