I love the verse that she starts out with:

Mostly what God does is love you.
Keep company with Him and learn a life of love.
Observe how Christ loved us.
His love was not cautious but extravagant.
He didn't love in order to get something from us
but to give everything of Himself to us.
Love like that.
Ephesians 5:2

Some favorite quotes:

I knew He never wasted any life experience... I hadn't asked Him what His dreams were for me. page 31

It's amazing how a few sincere, affirmin...more

Kathleen joins her husband for a three-month trip to New Zealand when he’s hired by a film studio in Wellington. Leaving behind all that is familiar in her comfortable corner in Southern California, she realizes that the past twenty years have been so tightly woven into the life of her only daughter that she’s not sure who she is on her own or with her husband. In her isolation, Kathleen begins to contemplate reinventing herself, but before her crazy schemes take flight, she meets Jill at th...more

Mum bought this while in NZ and recommended it to me when she came home. It's the first Sisterchicks book I've read, but from what I've heard other people say, it's quite different from her other books, in that the women don't know each other prior to this book. Anyway, I loved it! A foreigner's view on New Zealand - hilarious! Especially since there were so many things I could recognize in it. Oh, and I got quite a thrill when they started talking about NZ slang, and I actually understood every...more

This was the first Sisterchicks book I read. I really liked the way Robin Gunn weaves God's words and truths through the text, without hitting you over the head with the "Bible". I learned a lot about God's extravagant love, and how HE has dreams for ME, and how He will pursue us in order for us to finally let him love us.

There's not much to say about this one. I thought the Sisterchicks idea was a neat way of describing the relationships women have with other women. As I am reading it it felt like one of those teen romance novels except the teens are now middle age empty nesters. I guess it is a good read if you have a few hours to waste.

Has a copy to sell/swap — Read in June, 2008
I'm half-way through. It's a decent story with mid-life characters (a bit older than me and at a different time of life). It's not elegant or deep writing, but there's a nice message that's not too preachy. And, it's set in New Zealand and Austrailia, so that's interesting.

I have enjoyed these books mostly for the information they give about the area the women are traveling to. The relationship between the women is always sweet but pretty much the same in each story.

I know this book is geared to middle aged women but I like it and there is a whole series. It is about stepping out of the box and your comfort zone. It's nice and light and a great fast read.

I really enjoyed this book. It had a little bit of history/sights to see etc. A really fun chick book. I plan on reading the other sisterchick books after reading this one.

It was a fun book, but slow in some parts. Had some parts that were thought provoking. If your looking for a quick light read this would be the book.
