Robin Jones Gunn has been writing Christian fiction for nearly four decades, and her output is staggering: over 100 books across YA, adult romance, children’s picture books, and non-fiction. Her most enduring creation is Christy Miller, a teenage girl first introduced in Summer Promise (1988). Christy’s story spans four series totaling 23 books, following her from high school through college, marriage, and motherhood.

The Christy books found a massive audience among Christian teenage girls in the 1990s and have stayed in print ever since. Gunn writes faith-based fiction that takes teenage emotions seriously without preaching, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The Sierra Jensen series (1995-1999) covered similar territory with a different protagonist, and the Katie Weldon books followed Christy’s best friend.

Beyond YA, Gunn wrote the Glenbrooke series (1994-2001) and the Sisterchicks novels (2003-2009) for adult readers, both set in the same world of Christian romance. Her more recent Suitcase Sisters series (2024-2026) continues to find new readers. She’s also written children’s picture books, non-fiction about parenting and faith, and the Finding Father Christmas holiday novellas.
