Publisher Description

Katie Weldon catches more than just the bouquet at the wedding of her best friend, Christy Miller. She also snags a job offer that launches her into an adventure she never imagined. Katie eagerly accepts the job as resident assistant at Rancho Corona University only to find herself in a community of conflict. She thought this was where God wanted her, but how can God use her—love her—when everything is falling apart? Especially with her boyfriend, Rick. Katie turns to the women in her life for solace. In the safety of their love and encouragement she finally allows herself to spill her heart about her relationship with Rick. But even their advice can’t postpone the decision Katie must face, a decision that will define who she is and the woman she’s becoming. The first book in the Katie Weldon Series, Peculiar Treasures follows Katie as she struggles to believe that God can love her, faults and all.

"Written for a young adult audience but some great ideas... I loved the idea that if you want to truly know Christ stay "hot on his heels" pg. 57 "That's my theory - you stay close to Christ. Remind yourself that being one of his disciples will feel like an unscripted adventure most of the time. The journey is definitely not a one size fits all. But he has a plan. He is fulfilling his objectives in your life.""

    " I really liked this book. It turns out that back in the 80s the author wrote the Christy Miller series, & this story happens after that. After reading this book I wanted to find out what happens before so I checked out the 1st Christy Miller book. "

    " I was a big fan of the Christy Miller series and love everything Robin Jones Gunn writes. So when I heard she was writing a series about Katie I got very excited. This book did not disappoint. It was fun to read about her in a different way and hear more from her point of view. "

    " This is a cute Christian based romance(ish) that is a series. Unfortunately it is a long series, and so it feels like very little happened in this first book, and I don't think I liked it enought to commit to the 8 or so books to get closure. "

    " Not too bad. I suppose, as it's in a series, she doesn't fell the need to conclude things too much. I'm not sure the characters are terribly realistic, but isn't that true of lots of christian fiction? "

    " Fabulous book! I love that Robin Jones Gunn has created another series. Reading this book was like returning to old friendships. I loved hearing how previous characters were doing and it should be interesting to see her further develop the character of Katie. I can't wait to read more! "
