Sisterchicks Go Brit<\/a><\/h2>\n

Multnomah Publishers (May 20, 2008)
\nby<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robin Jones Gunn<\/a><\/h2>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Robin grew up in Orange County, California and has lived in all kinds of interesting places, including Reno and Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Robin\u2019s first novel was published in 1988, and she has continued to write between two to five books a year. Her 63 published books include 47 novels, all of which are still in print. Sales of her popular Christy Miller Series, Glenbrooke Series and Sisterchicks Series, including Sisterchicks in Gondolas<\/a> and the new Katie Weldon Series including Peculiar Treasures<\/a> all of which are approaching four million copies sold, with translations in nine languages.<\/p>\n

Robin\u2019s passion for storytelling and travel are evident in all her books, especially the Sisterchicks novels, and she has received thousands of letters from readers around the world who have come to know Christ through her writing. She sees this as her dream come true. Her novels are traveling to foreign lands and her characters are doing what she always longed to do; telling people about God\u2019s love.<\/p>\n

She and her husband currently live near Portland, Oregon and have been married for 30 years. They spent their first 22 years of marriage working together in youth ministry, and enjoying life with their son and daughter who are now both grown.<\/p>\n

As a frequent speaker at local and international events, one of Robin\u2019s favorite topics is how God is the Relentless Lover and we are His first love. She delights in telling stories of how God uses fiction to change lives.<\/p>\n

Robin is the recipient of the Christy Award, the Mt. Hermon Pacesetter Award, the Sherwood E. Wirt Award and is a Gold Medallion Finalist. She also serves on the Board of Directors for Media Associates International and the Board of Directors for Jerry Jenkins\u2019 Christian Writers\u2019 Guild.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>SISTERCHICK\u00ae<\/strong> n: a friend who shares the deepest wonders of your heart, loves you like a sister, and provides a reality check when you\u2019re being a brat.<\/em><\/p>\n

Two midlife mamas hop over to jolly ole England and encounter so much more than the usual tourist stops. Liz does have a bit of a childhood crush on Big Ben, and she has hoped to \u201cmeet\u201d him ever since her fifteenth birthday. Kellie dreams of starting an interior design business and figures Liz needs to be a part of that equation\u2013a calculation that hasn\u2019t added up for Liz yet.<\/p>\n

Nothing on the excursion goes the way these two friends had envisioned. They start with a village pancake race and end up being held for questioning on The Underground. Kellie and Liz take a wild tour through the land of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien and then find themselves swept up, up, and away in a hot air balloon over the Cotswalds. London beckons with the Tower of London, Windsor Castle, shopping at Portabella Road in Knotting Hill, and of course, reservations at the Ritz for a posh high tea.<\/p>\n

A few detours along the way and the possibility of being lost in a London fog of wonderment aren\u2019t enough to stop these two Sisterchicks! Each step of their regal journey is lined with evidence of God\u2019s gracious compassion, and both come to realize that God knows their every wish. He is the One who planted every dream in their hearts.<\/p>\n

And, oh, what a surprise awaits them when they return home!<\/p>\n

To read the first chapter, go HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cRobin has done it again! You and your Sisterchicks will love taking this new adventure together!\u201d
\n– Karen Kingsbury, New York Times best-selling author of Between Sundays and Ever After<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMy only complaint about Robin\u2019s latest is that now I want to hop a plane to England! But combine a cup of Earl Grey tea and this charming story and you\u2019re halfway there. Another delightful tale about women helping women to live their lives to the fullest.\u201d
\n– Melody Carlson, author of These Boots Weren\u2019t Made for Walking<\/em> and A Mile in My Flip-Flops<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSisterchicks in Gondolas is a true delight. The characters shine, and evocative language will make any reader want to visit Venice. Biblical truths are portrayed simply, yet will touch hearts and lives with their realistic application.\u201d
\n– Romantic Times magazine<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How could I do a better job of describing Sisterchicks Go Brit<\/a> than the “About The Book” description above? It pretty much says it all. Sisterchicks Go Brit<\/a> takes best friends Liz and Kellie on an unplanned surprise trip of a lifetime to England. As many of their plans go awry, they find that their impromptu adventures have taken them on a much more satisfying tour of Great Britain. And through the quite revelations of the Holy Spirit, Liz discovers God’s plans for her and hidden dreams fulfilled.<\/p>\n

I would definitely recommend Sisterchicks Go Brit<\/a>. As the title implies, it is definitely chick lit. Although there is plenty of humor, Gunn touches on the deep things of the heart and the mysteries of God.<\/p>\n
