Being Known by Robin Jones Gunn - A Book Review

   

Being Known is Robin Jones Gunn's latest book in her Haven Makers series. Like Becoming Us the story is highly emotional and stresses the importance of Christian fellowship, which is now often referred to as doing life together, and accountability. While many will enjoy Gunn's intense and insightful writing, this book and series seem to target women in their twenties to early forties who, like Gunn's characters, are balancing a variety of relationships from family to friends as well as distracting relationships, raising children, creating a haven at home, finding fulfillment in personal pursuits, and pursuing careers; all while growing in their relationship with Christ. There are times in this story when the reader will feel a great sense of contentment, and other times when she will feel like she is watching a train wreck about to happen. Robin Jones Gunn is a master at pulling readers in and tugging at their emotions.

I am grateful to have received a copy of Being Known from Multnomah via NetGalley, and for being included on this book's launch team. I was however asked only for my honest opinion, and was under no obligation to provide a positive review. I received no monetary compensation.
