Peculiar Treasures (The Katie Weldon Series #1) Paperback – March 30, 2008

I read Robin Jones Gunn's Christy Miller series when I was a teenager, and it helped develop who I was a young Christian teenager. I really enjoyed spending time with Christy, Katie, Sierra, Tracy, Doug, Todd, and the rest of the gang. They were friends that I enjoyed hanging out with. I was saddened when Robin Jones Gunn took a break from writing about these wonderful friends of mine. With the beginning of the Katie Weldon series with Peculiar Treasures, I finally got what I wanted. A story told from Katie's perspective about her trials and tribulations as she heads toward finishing college. I enjoyed this first book as I watched Katie struggle with her school work, RA responsibilities, and her relationship with Rick and her friends. All the gang makes cameo's and makes me smile. I really can't wait to read the next installment in this series. I highly recommend this book to fans of the Christy Miller series.

It was a good story, but it seemed very long. When I finished the book I was a little disappointed that the main event of the book was predicted two chapters in. When you start the book you know exactly what is going to happen, it just has a lot of fillers to get there. Not bad for a one time read, but I wouldn't go out of my way to read it again.

Peculiar Treasures is Robin Jones Gunn best work yet. I have followed Christy through all the series. Katie always seemed like the girl I wanted to know better. Robin develops her character well, from a teenage girl bopping around, making flippant comments, stating profound "God discoveries", to a young woman still trying to work out the kinks in life. She is very easy to identify with.I love the illustrations of the backpacking trip, the "wall of kisses," and the melted ice cream. And what is fun for us Christy Miller fans is to continue to follow her life after the college years.An easy read, great for all of us to see a good christian model!

WOW! What an amazing book! I have not read the Christy Miller series or any other books by Robin Jones Gunn, but wow I am glad I found this book! It was amazing! I love how real Katie is and the God moments she has! Alot of the God moments she had made me think about my faith such as the hot on his heels theology and the peculiar treasures! Can't wait to finish the series and I definitely plan to read the Christy Miller series after this one!

I would recommend this book for young christian ladies.

A sweet book that helps to encourage during times of transition and uncertainty. I love the Christy Miller books and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue exploring the world in which these characters exist.

This book is soo good I really want to get the second one but I need to pay again but it's worth it trust me if you don't really get this book you now the story well I advise you to read the Christy series first then the Sierra series then Katie it will help trust me

Bought this book for my 19 yr old daughter. She gobbled it up in a night. Now it's making its way around the college dorm. My wife wants to read it, too! I'm buying the entire series as it comes out. Sorry I couldn't give actual details about the author/story, but, I think this series is a winner based upon my daughter's response.
