Depth & Connection to Jesus Through Christian Fiction: The Heart Behind the Novels with Robin Jones Gunn

Happy last episode of Season 8 of the podcast!! 

This week we get a behind the scenes look at why Christian Fiction novels make such an impact on our lives and why it's important to read them. Don't get me wrong I love non-fiction books and own a lot, but there is something special about fiction that meets us in new ways! Robin talks all about it today! 

Robin Jones Gunn is the best-selling author of over 100 books, including the timeless Christy Miller series for teens. Her multi-award-winning Christian fiction includes the Glenbrooke, Sisterchicks and Suitcase Sisters series. Four of her novels have been made into Hallmark Christmas movies. Robin's popular non-fiction includes, "Victim of Grace" along with "Before You Meet Your Future Husband" and "Praying for Your Future Husband" both co-authored with Tricia Goyer. Her acclaimed gift book, "By the Sea" is a fan favorite. She speaks at international and local events. She and her husband have two grown children and live in California where she co-hosts the "Women Worth Knowing" podcast with Cheryl Brodersen.

I absolutely love Robin's novels so I'm going to give you my top 5 (even though I love them all!) So if I were you I'd hit up my local library for these asap!

Conversation Highlights:

• Christian fiction novels help us see ourselves and relate to God in a new way
• When it comes to hearing a story, things stick with us more and go deeply into our heart
• A lot of us struggle with things but won’t go to church, won’t read our Bible or share about it, but we will read a novel
• Jesus was the great story teller, why not read stories that draw us closer to him
